#Tasks To Accomplish

Language Features

User-defined blocks/functions

  MyFunc {
      $pin = shift;
      return $result;
  }
  Main {
      $value = MyFunc RC0;
  }

Code Generation Features

String tables (read-only data) - DONE for UART
String buffers for writing - DONE with auto-allocation of fixed size and of a configurable using pragma size of 32 bytes for empty string

$value = ""; read UART0, Action { $value .= shift; ## CONCAT operator done for single bytes only };
- concatenation of strings needs more work
- array access of string bytes
- printing to UART of string only till the index not the full length
- not all strings have indexes but should
ASCII conversion of numbers and alphabets - DONE for UART
Sleep/Wake-up of processor
- DONE using Interrupt-on-change
- DONE using WDT (only for PIC16F690)
EEPROM read/write and storage of large data blobs such as music files or images
Verify PWM implementation on Oscilloscope - (example is verified)
UART: need to do interrupt-based read/write - DONE READ

does this store the incoming bytes in a buffer ?

read UART0, $value; # a single byte read UART0, Action/ISR { $value = shift; # a single byte };
I2C
SPI
USB
Ethernet
Watchdog Timer - DONE for PIC16F690
Power management
Interrupt on Change for reads (Event based reading) - DONE for P16F690
```
  read RC0, Action/ISR {
      $value = shift;
  };
```
