Ultimately, I do intend to work on getting Euphoria running on hobby microcontroller boards like Arduino, Pi Pico, and ESP32, but to do that we need either a lightweight interpreter that can run directly on the device, or a specialized translator that can output the correct. It would be worthwhile to model this after CircuitPython or its upstream project MicroPython.

While that's a great goal, i am thinking a nice idea would be to use a win/nix/dos desktop/laptop as a main interface, to have graphics, bulk storage, data munging, internet access, and single point access to multiple sources. Surely a dumb remote can dump data upstream to a smarter terminal, Ryan at least got the dumb 3-pin serial device to talk to a Raspi, which displayed and logged and sorted and ran OE and was on the ethernet. I assumed, obviously incorrectly, the same raspi could have sensed switch closures and analog voltages (from light sensors, pressure sensors, etc)..
Starting a huge new project to run another 10 years to maybe put OE on a micro which doesn't have the megabytes to hold OE/OS/data, seems like drilling down too deeply, like using a microscope to buy car tires. And then the tires don't fit that car's rims, and the rims don't fit the car.

What you describe here corresponds almost exactly to my toy project that I had already linked here in a different context. It's not a ready-made solution, but you'll find everything you need to turn an Arduino into a Modbus sensor/actuator and communicate with it. All you need to experiment with it is an Arduino (clone) and a USB cable, maybe a few jumpers, LEDs and resistors. But I don't have to explain that to you, I think you know a lot about electronics.
If you have any specific questions I will be happy to try to answer them. But you have to experiment for yourself.
