Machine Week TODO

Prepatory Hardware Actions

• hardware kit... aligning with demo parts ?
  • i.e. improve that belt axis a little ?
• router circuits reflow, assembly ?
• circuits on motors, fertha kids ?
  • 16 motors... either we reflow the known codes or we deploy-test the new lads
  • we have enough of each, but need to PNP by hand
  • tbd if this is worth it over the cost of the new boards:
    • spend the few-hours bringing up firmware instead... at the cost of 1/2 circuit stash,
    • re-ups possible, but maybe time consuming... but testing is also worthwhile
• limit switch boards, or some other way to Reduce Limit Switch Suffering (or fk it, focus on code)
• backpack-to-whatever circuit ?
  • jlcpcb rush assy ?

Prepatory SI Actions

• important: NOT SURE ABOUT FIRMWARE UPDATES YET
• minimum:
  • non-blocking queue planner / segments transmitter
  • (!) forwards and reverse transforms, for homing cycles ?
• the handbook ?
• ... graphs, or what ?
• deadbugger, hbridge, stepper firmwares ?
• docs for circuits, python, etc ?
• consider: more productive to do nuts-and-bolts perf for the segment solver (etc), than full-on graphs - though the latter is more fun
• how to rename devices, besides just uploading new firmwares ?

Demo Desires

• make the xylophone into a standalone example project
• samesies for the little guy, vvelocity

When is it Over

• prep is done when:
  • kits are ready
    • and pic acquired
  • routers are ready
  • ... other circuits are ready:
    • either firmware-and-test for the new drivers or build and test the og's
    • one deadbugger, one hbridge each, with firmwares and APIs for those ?
    • limit switch switchuation ?
  • demos are ready:
    • piano-or-midi xylo
    • little guy
    • this includes unfking maxl (and it might just be that one bad await-all call)
    • and i.e. a rasbpi setup w/ power situation, etc - the little guy should be finish, bottled !
      • the mega / multi plotter ?
    • docs:
      • cable building ?
      • cad, interfaces for circuits (mount holes...)
      • firmware loading / reloading ?
      • what happens when multiples of the same name connected ?
      • how to connect servo-z-axes, etc ?
  • handbook OK ?
