It took me almost 20 years, but I finally thought of something interesting to put on the Internet. ;)
I've been experimenting with a BeagleBone (embedded ARM V7 platform) and was able to get Squeak 4.2 running without a problem. I put together a simple demo with a blog post and video, and thought the Squeak list may be interested (also, please let me know if I have any technical errors in my smalltalk code explanation).

Very nice!
There is one flaw in your code. You should never run Morphic code outside the UI process. But your "appendValue:" message does that. The correct way would be to write
WorldState addDeferredUIMessage: [graph1 appendValue: lightValue]
That will cause the block to be evaluated at the next display cycle.
Of course, the proper way to make an updating Morph is to write a new Morph class. Then you could use Morphic's stepping mechanism to read the data and display it.
But for a 10 line hack your code is not bad :)
