The Forth Deck mini is a housed version of the My4TH computer board with an additional keyboard and display. A built-in rechargeable battery makes it portable and independent of mains power.
With this computer you can write and debug your own Forth programs directly on the deck, no need for a serial terminal or PC! It’s a bit like the home computers of the 70s and 80s with their built-in BASIC interpreters.
The Forth Deck has all the My4TH features and a few more:
40 x 4 character LCD
56 buttons QWERTY keyboard
6.6 Wh LiPo battery
6 hours runtime without recharging
8-bit discrete CMOS logic CPU
8 to 14 MHz clock frequency
32 KB ROM, 32 KB RAM, up to 256 KB EEPROM
17 CMOS logic chips of the 74 series, 3 transistors

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
