Q1. How many people here have released a OSHW project? (x1/y)

example projects

  • led prototype board light-on wsd 20 clone stm32 - up and running
  • halloween vending machine build earrings for rabbi
  • rc2014

notes

  • diffs are useless unless you pay for a service
  • openscad - jump to microelectronics
  • challenge getting into digital space
  • "structural diffing" - see diff tastic
  • need for name-spacing; unambiguous means of referencing component instances
    • need a means of mapping dof schema to other tools (e.g., KiCad, FreeCAD)
      • this enables referencing data (s.a., part description) in DOF to enhance understanding data in other tools (e.g., what is the purpose of capacitor C2 in board layout)
      • this enables deeper referencing within instructions (e.g., where to place capacitor on a board based on board layout within assembly instructions)
    • any instance of a component in DOF needs to have a (fully qualified?) singular definitive name; this should be one-to-one and onto
      • investigate connection between structural diffing and mapping to other tools in user stories
  • need context as to why a design was changed (e.g., a capacitor was swapped out or removed), or any design decision
    • this is a kind of annotation capability that should
      • annotate any element in a project (e.g., components, aspects of components, steps in instructions, any data structure)
      • include ability to leave commentary
      • be able to point to one or more element(s) that it is annotating
      • be able to point to one or more "source" element(s), s.a.,
        • a Bib reference
        • another annotation
        • an "analysis artifact"
      • be supported in m30ml
