OpenSIPS

Submitted this PR: https://github.com/OpenSIPS/opensips/pull/3255

SCAMP

Implemented grshift/grunshift: https://github.com/jes/scamp-cpu/commit/a180c4a61f3523cfc6bb93b52c9ed7602ec87a3c

• add some automated testing
• install new filesystem on real computer

So the plan for the automated testing is that I'll type make test, and it will build a test program using compiler/slangc, make a new os.disk using kernel/Makefile, it will then use fs/fs to replace /bin/init with a test program, and it will use emulator/scamp to run the test program, and then diff its output against the desired output.

I've made a start on this under test/.

Garage

I put a powerline ethernet adapter next to the PC, but it didn't get any signal. I found that it gets signal in some of the garage sockets, but drops off as it gets further from the house. I've put it in the last socket that gets a good signal, and then ran a long ethernet cable to the PC, and that seems to be satisfactory.

• pin the cable up
• put the shelves up
• put a MDF top on the island bench
• put a MDF top on the computer desk
• organise the mess that is all over the floor

Most of my short-ish pieces of metal are now stored in the rack:

I have made good progress in organising the mess from the floor, but not done the MDF or shelves yet. I want the place tidier first.

Next up I have cleaning products, lubricants, glues, finishes to organise:

Stepper motor clocks

I'm making a start on 3d printing the parts for the clocks. For each clock, I need:

• 4x bearing-block.stl
• 4x collar.stl
• 2x dialfoot.stl
• geneva-drive-wheel.stl
• firstwheel.stl
• secondwheel.stl
• secondwheel-pinion.stl
• thirdwheel.stl
• hourwheel.stl
• hourcounterwheel.stl
• secondwheel-spacer.stl
• thirdwheel-spacer.stl
• counterwheel-spacer.stl
• electrical-cover.stl
• hour-hand.stl
• minute-hand.stl

For the white parts is 2 print jobs, totalling 6 hours printing time and 150g of filament. That is if I try to print the electrical cover with no support material. Not clear how well that will work.

Then there is obviously a separate job required in black filament for the hands.

And perhaps tomorrow I can surface off the CNC router table, flatten the boards, and make the wooden parts.

Update: printing the electrical cover with no support didn't work. I'm leaving the job running for now because I think the 3 gears might come out successfully, but I'll have to print the electrical cover on its own.

Update: I've stopped it because it was making too much of a mess. I should have stopped it earlier.

I reprinted just the gears. I now have all the 3d-printed parts required for 1 clock except for the hands and the electrical cover.
