This second stream of work have been tackling the long-term goals of developing the large range of electronic devices, controllers, sub-systems and management services.
Shaun has been building up a Development Environment to aid us in writing, analysing, implementing, testing and building finished products that will be integrated into the fabric of our house. One of the tool is an editor that will make it so much easier for Shaun to write, compile and test lots of code, without having to rely on the vast majority of the off-the-shelf offerings that uses all visual presentation with mouse controls and hardly no keyboard awareness.
It is an opportunity to get this process started while we wait for the the glass to come, and the Editor is coming along very nicely, with a highly configurable input control and language layout of the different types of source code that needs to be written and compiled.
Stephen has also been working on the Electronic designs, by looking at various software to run the microcomputers in these devices.
