  • Wrote the readme for the Midiamp library and test program
  • I think there was a little confusion of what the test program actually is.  the test program is literally a test of the basic functions of the library.  It is not a controller prototype which is why is it not made to be scalable or anything like that.  I have partial prototypes of what the controller should be but I was not sure what route Phil wanted to take so I gave him the basic classes.  Now that the hardware isn’t of as dire need as it was the Saturday when I posted the sound libraries I can put more focus into fleshing out this controller.  Basically the only reason this is up there in its current form was because time was a factor and I didn’t want Phil to stumble through my controller without knowing the basics of how it worked.
  • The sound controller prototype only needs the logic written.  I made a few models for this so I will have to determine which one is best as they work somewhat differently.  If I know what and how many objects need to be processed by the controller it should be easy to finish these.
  • The readme took a while longer than I thought and I still want to proof read before I post it.  Maybe I went a little too deep in writing it as well as there is a lot of how things work at an electronics level in there.  Considering the electronics doesn’t have any documentation of its own this is probably a good thing.
  • Added some stuff to the checklist for designing the new board so I don’t forget them.
