# alee-devboard

The Alee "devboard" is a microcontroller development board designed for use with [Alee Forth](https://code.bitgloo.com/bitgloo/alee-forth). It combines a compact and versatile Forth compiler/interpreter with 64kB of fast and non-volatile FRAM: the result is an on-board-IDE that retains your work even after power is removed. Simply plug the devboard into your computer via USB and you're ready to go!

**Features:**

* 16MHz microcontroller with 64kB FRAM and 8kB SRAM
* Plenty of peripherals: ADC, UART, SPI, I2C, timers, RTC
* Standards-compliant Forth interpreter (compact: uses <8kB of memory)
* Two buttons and two RGB LEDs for basic input/output
* Arduino-compatible form factor for easy and familiar tinkering
