Tell me about glue please: How do you connect a microcontroller that conditionally executes code in different languages over USB serial on a typical desktop distro?
This is something that perplexed me a few years ago with Flash Forth on a PIC18/PIC24/Arduino Uno. I was using the Python serial emulator S-Term because it is simple in the source code and worked.
