I need to focus on hard problems that need to get solved.
Rather than the odd ball odds and ends I find myself
wasting my life on. Not to say I won't continue to do them...
It's just the fact that they seem to be all I do and that
is very backwards.

...

However, tonight I was working on things that move me
forward. The system I spec-ed out tonight was the basic
system for controlling powerful DC motors of the sort you might
put on eletric cars or winged contraptions of the sort dreams
are made of.

I'm so excited to be able to code and work out much more
interesting things than I could even fathom as I was growing
up. I've been wiring chips and writing code to control motors.
It's pretty narly stuff.

I spent about 3.5 hours tonight getting it all up to speed for
tomorrow when I'll be mulling over circuits, staring at waveforms on
the O'Scope and trying to debug a renegade servo system.
If I had a working camera I'd take a picture of all the schematics
and scribbles tonight yielded but alas that is still to come in the
mail. (I have still to order the thing.)

I worked out some logic for my Coupling System that basically
is my way to turn 5 pins into 3 with one extra Quad NAND Chip for
every OSMC Board I care to use. I need to make a lower cost version
of those. I'm guessing a simple H-Bridge Chip aught to do for most
simple things but I'm not the expert in these systems.

Gotta go pack up some tools and hardware for tomorrows meet up.
Too bad, there won't be pictures for the amazing occasion when I
first get to test my coding might against a large and meaningful DC motor
and real power supply.
