Roadmap

This is very flexible and will change, but here's the idea

v2.0 - First public release with installer

• Newly re-designed interface for clearer moves
• OS-dependent display for consistency
• existing PoMoCo 1.0 functions
• Robust Serial connection
  • intelligently queries the OS for serial ports
  • capable of auto-sorting serial ports based on likelihood of servotor32
  • auto-detect when connection dropped
  • auto-connect button
  • offer multiple connection options
• report servotor32 firmware version
• arduino move code generator
• console window built-in - redirects stdout
• servo offset calibration wizard

v2.1

Requiring servotor32 V2.1 firmware:

• ultrasonic module widget (like servo widget)
• write offests to servotor32
• more robust binary mode
• full ultrasonic usage
• send serial commands from window
• option to update to latest firmware: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23780125/uploading-arduino-hex-file-using-avrdude https://github.com/daid/Cura/tree/SteamEngine/Cura/avr_isp

v2.2

• keyboard bindings for moves
• Built-in live-scripting window
• moved robot definitions to folder-based system
• cli-only mode for headless (raspberry pi!)
• interchange is robust to modules being missing

v2.3

• switch from DC to GraphicsContext (smoother graphics)
• convert from wx.CallAfter to pub/sub: http://www.blog.pythonlibrary.org/2010/06/27/wxpython-and-pubsub-a-simple-tutorial/
• Basic 3D sim of Hexy in OpenGL here's a good basis: https://github.com/daid/Cura/blob/master/Cura/gui/preview3d.py

v2.4

• dynamic orientation based on linalg
• gamepad interface

v2.???

• ROS integration (investigating feasibility)
• conversion of basic python logic to move files to arduino code (investigating feasibility)
