SUMMARY

FORTRAN is not commonly used for programming microcontrollers, as most development platforms primarily support C or native assembly languages. The discussion highlights that while some microcontrollers may support BASIC, there is no widespread support for FORTRAN in this domain. Users seeking to explore FORTRAN applications in engineering should refer to resources such as GHS FORTRAN compilers and FORCE 2.0 for potential use cases in electrical, computer, and aerospace engineering.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of microcontroller programming languages, particularly C and assembly.
  • Familiarity with FORTRAN and its historical context in engineering.
  • Knowledge of microcontroller development platforms and their supported languages.
  • Basic concepts of electrical and computer engineering applications.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research GHS FORTRAN compilers for potential microcontroller applications.
  • Explore FORCE 2.0 for programming capabilities and applications in engineering.
  • Investigate the use of C in microcontroller programming for better performance.
  • Learn about the role of assembly language in microcontroller development.
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for engineers, microcontroller developers, and students interested in programming languages and their applications in electrical, computer, and aerospace engineering.

With FORTRAN I may program Microcontrollers ? what else ? Can you give me some edu sites (offer such kits) of using fortran such a way ?

Welcome to PF.

Most Microcontroller (uP) development platforms use C (an artificial assembler).
Or can be programed in their native assembler.
Some uPs support Basic.

I don't know of any that support Fortran, unless you want to call Windows/Mac platform machines Microcontrollers.
 
how fortran used in engineering(electronics) or else ?

Here's more info about Fortran. It was actually the first language I learned, back about a billion years ago. C is a much better language for uC programming, IMO.

All fortran can do, I may do it with FORCE 2.0(http://force.lepsch.com/index.html) ?
