(1) Likely will just reuse previous assembly

1.1. Next step

1.1.1. Order any needed supplies

Screws. Need to establish a better source of hardware as existing sources have finally dried up. I'm not paying $0.50 each for a #4x1/4" sheet metal screw.

1.1.2. Assemble and test

2. Swocer

2.1. Most crashing addressed

Nullified 'handle' API free functions helped a lot. Still see some errors in operations.

2.2. Added outline for 'bottle' test

Added all functions believed to be needed for 'bottle' demo test. Test doesn't pass so is disabled.

2.3. Next steps

Swocer future. Check out what's needed for gears.

3. Soap Molds

Investigating mold making for hand soaps (for Annie). Need to implement 'drafts' in swocer if I go that route.

4. ca-r

Tier data finally deprecated so processing is removed.

4.1. Next Step

None.

5. Linux Audio

5.1. CSound programming.

The FORTRAN of computer music. Getting up to speed.

5.1.1. Next Steps

  1. loscil demo
  2. pvanal to spectrogram
  3. spectrogram loop point analysis

5.2. Faust programming

5.2.1. Next Steps

  1. GAC Patch save/restore
  2. LV2 autopatcher

    Exploratory tool to generate (was pd, ecasound, now carla) patch for arbitrary LV2 plugin: hook up audio inputs to signal source, audio outputs to speakers, control inputs to control surface, etc.

  3. OSC control surface

    Some sort of GUI tool (knob/slider) to OSC messages. This may be as simple as a Faust UI program.

  4. Faust/csound

    See if a faust generated unit works.

6. EPICS

6.1. Next steps

6.1.1. u3scpi network port testing

6.1.2. initial EPICS interface

6.1.3. u3scpi analog/digital port reconfiguration.

7. Brini Tracker II

Suspended for now.

7.1. Next steps

7.1.1. Validate remaining standard GPS messages

7.1.2. Investigate GPS chipset data logging

7.1.3. Investigate LoRA radio interface

8. wktcolor

8.1. Next steps

8.1.1. Explore how to get a minimal coloring

Need a specific planar graph four coloring.

9. wktplot

9.1. Next steps

Understand why -r doesn't solve the wktvor/wktdel "sliver at edge" problem. Explore biological cell Voronoi organization

10. AMDGPU

10.1. Next step

10.1.1. Reverse engineer HSAKMT programming.

11. Ninja v Make

11.1. Next Step

11.1.1. clean simple measurements

12. GMP Forth

Need to think about adding floating point support
