Of course, in the tiny and open world of Arduino most everything is visible globally. So feel free to dive in and call what you need. The entry points documented here are intended to be reasonably well hardened for third party use. text/html 2010-01-17T05:26:02-07:00 http://bitlash.net/wiki/author?rev=1263734762&do=diff The Author Bitlash was written by Bill Roy and released as 1.0 in January, 2010.

It runs on an Arduino-connected PC and makes the Arduino available over the network for connection via telnet, nc, or your favorite telnet client. With Bitty you can make your Arduino available on the Internet with no extra hardware. text/html 2010-01-12T12:57:42-07:00 http://bitlash.net/wiki/commands?rev=1263329862&do=diff Bitlash Command Reference Here is an alphabetical reference list of Bitlash commands. ---------- expression evaluation If you type a “naked expression” it will be evaluated, and any side effects like function calls and macro executions will happen, but nothing is printed unless you say so using print. For example: text/html 2010-01-12T12:43:48-07:00 http://bitlash.net/wiki/conditionals?rev=1263329028&do=diff In Bitlash you use while and if commands to control and repeat execution. Bear in mind that as soon as the test condition for an if or while command fails, the execution of the command ends. while expr: stmt1; stmt2; ...; stmtN The while command repeats execution of the rest of the command line as long as the test expression is true. text/html 2010-02-03T10:13:23-07:00 http://bitlash.net/wiki/docindex?rev=1265220803&do=diff Bitlash Documentation Index To Begin * Download the latest release of Bitlash * How to install Bitlash * Please note the Bitlash license terms Learning Bitlash * About the language * Conditionals: if, while, and switch * Top-level commands * Functions * Printing * Macros: The overview * Using background macros text/html 2010-02-03T13:09:04-07:00 http://bitlash.net/wiki/download?rev=1265231344&do=diff Bitlash Downloads When you're done here, proceed to the install page.

Many Bitlash functions are straight pass-throughs from the Arduino functions of the same name.

Bitlash is an open source interpreted language shell. This website documents Bitlash for the popular and useful Arduino. The Bitlash interpreter runs entirely on the Arduino and interprets commands that you type in a terminal window or send programmatically to the serial port: text/html 2010-02-03T10:05:22-07:00 http://bitlash.net/wiki/install?rev=1265220322&do=diff The Bitlash Install Page Requirements You need an Arduino connected to a PC with a working Arduino IDE. These directions are for Arduino IDE version 0018, but they work for the earlier 0017 version too. Since Bitlash is an Arduino library you upload with a sketch, you need to be comfortable uploading sketches. Get this working first to save debugging headaches. There is plenty of help over at the Arduino Forums. text/html 2010-01-16T13:29:34-07:00 http://bitlash.net/wiki/language?rev=1263677374&do=diff The Bitlash Language ---------- How It Works: The Bitlash Execution Model It helps to start by thinking of Bitlash as a dumb command line calculator. You type a line of commands and press Enter; Bitlash interprets the entire line once and returns you to the prompt. text/html 2010-01-12T17:32:58-07:00 http://bitlash.net/wiki/license?rev=1263346378&do=diff Bitlash is licensed under the LGPL Version 2.1 license, which is reproduced below.

Starting with version 1.1, Bitlash provides an easy way to call C functions from Bitlash code, just like the Bitlash built-in functions. In effect, you add your functions to the Bitlash function library, and they become callable from the Bitlash command line.
