Good morning SteveWoodgate, Good to see your comment. Yeah, your name has been mentioned many times in recent weeks in the shop - I think you are going to be really pleased to see what is being done with that sensor! Cheers and thank you so much for the suggestion and for the financial contribution, it made a WORLD OF DIFFERENCE on this project. Cheers! Chris
Hi Chris. First time being first comment. I feel for you at this point. I've been there too. Code gets out of hand at times regardless of how organized one is. It's in a way annoying and a little discouraging but, at the same time, the thought of a re-write is very appealing. Not a scratch re-write but a re-organization, a re-grouping of code parts as you said. However, time is not our friend when we also have other things going on in life. I find block diagramming the organization of the functions helps but I'm sure you have always done that. Another positive is that during the re-write/organization you may find some questionable code or concepts that you could/should change and as you said, get rid of the unused experimental bit & pieces. Kinda like defragging a hard drive but in this case the code. I wish you well and some great ideas to present themselves. Take Care. 🇨🇦
Good morning Starlight-AG, Thanks much for the kind words and perspective. As programmers and tinkerers I believe everyone goes through this experience but few are comfortable talking about it as it can be perceived as failure. While certainly exhausting to think about a rewrite, it is filled with new opportunities to learn, improve and innovate. In the next handful of episodes, things will certainly be changing ;-) Thanks very much for sharing your thoughts and beliefs. Cheers! Chris
Bush up on your OOP skills Chris. Wrap up bits that work as objects , export them to files and import as required. OOP was invented to help code organisation.
Good morning wktodd, Thanks much for the encouragement! In the real world I am about 5 weeks ahead of that video and a lot has changed - A LOT!!! Committing to a big change (complete rewrite) is difficult at this phase of the experiment, however, things are "MUCH MORE GOODER". The results of that commitment will be the topics for the next 4 or 5 videos and overall things are so much better. Some really cool additions and changes are ahead and they are providing good results. Thanks again and Cheers! Chris
Thanks for the shout out. Hope it goes well from here.
