Update

Hey folks, hope all is well! Here are the bits:

Storage Move: Yesterday I moved all of the extrusions and pour over cones to a new utility space directly across the street from me. The goal here was to remove some friction and overhead for when I start packing kits. Minor in the grand scheme of things, but moving nearly 2000 lbs of extrusion was quite a slog. Im just a sentient full body ache today.

Code Releases: Today I pushed up two significant completions, the mech-control Operator service and the final mech-control Arduino code. You can find them both in the Operator repo here. They have also been pushed to the original MugsyDev repo if you happen to be following things there.

There are a lot of details to share about this, but I’m completely tapped today. I will have a long form update going out on Wednesday night to do a walkthrough on how it works.

I also added a small helper script that will spin up a web socket endpoint that will accept mech-control commands and pass them over a Unix Socket to the service. This functionality will be covered by the brew service, but as it is not yet complete, I wanted to have a way for folks to see how it works immediately. You can find it in the helpers directory in the same repo.

Brew Service and Brew Demos:

As noted above, the brew service is not complete so I have not yet been able to record some full demos using production code. Completing this was blocked until the mech control service completion. I think the only piece left here is getting the pourByWeight return values into the parent brew service. This is a big part of the step controls, but not a difficult feature to finish. All the data and streams exist already, so just connecting some dots. I will confirm if there are any additional tasks in Wednesday’s update.

Ok, that is all for now. Will see everyone again on Wednesday. Cheers!
