Everything is broken. Has value as notes, and as an indication of the direction development will take. Repairs forthcoming....

Minor update. Git repo now contains working code. It doesn't do anything, but at builds.

I've got my makefile rewriten, but still working through problems introduced in the re-org.
I asked the rhetorical question in my "details" section: "Have you ever tried executing a day without your hands?"

I'll let you know how that goes. I think I broke my right scaphoid metacarpus tonight playing volleyball. I need an xray to be certain, but in any case, my right hand is essentially unusable for a few days. I'll still be coding one-handed, but I will be taking it easy for the weekend. The big update happens next week when I will post pics of the fist PCB set when it arrives.

Also: This is a good chance to talk about the achirality of the design. I am right-handed. I had planned on making the first unit right-handed. But if my right hand ends up immobilized in a cast for 6-8 weeks, the first unit will be left-handed. I made several conscious choices to make the design achiral. Lets find out how good a job I did. :-)
