A record of technical stuff, but I think it would be better to move this and make it more disintegrated.

As the breeze kindles the fire hold me near, ooooh breeze in the air.

Set up a table. Plug in speakers. Electricity. Desk. Install Debian on Macbook Air. His name is now marcus he is my new friend. Install Arduino on marcus. try to set up nano. no. try to set up esp32 WROOM dev kit. yes. needed a python upgrade first. debian is unfamiliar but nice to try it. the tape on the screen was maybe too much. the tape on the desk will also be too much. structure. build it up and then destroy it all again. againtropy. breadcube is sick. something with the hard drive. grub. its better :)

go to /etc/apt/sources.list and change all the bullseye to bookworm.

sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade

its more better.

esp32. check the pinout to find an analog in. GPIO36 works, its marked SVP on the board. SensVP on the pinout, i dont know what that means. connected it to a 3.5mm jack. loaded an "AnalogRead" example sketch. it seems to be reading something, cool.

break it down. think about it. work it out. think about it.

voltage divider.

in python use pyserial. import serial. look up docs. interpret the data. sensor = serial.open(dev/ttyusb0) or something like this. make a while loop where you read the serial. use an fft library to interpret it.

find notes from last year on how to send stuff from python to pen plotter.

As well as making connections I want to examine ones that are already there, and examine my own practices as they exists generally.

Simultaneous and consecutive interpreting: what are you doing here stephen? Documenting old and new things that I am doing and how they connect.

What does it mean to perform?

per- 
word-forming element common in words of French and Latin origin, meaning primarily "through," thus also "throughout; thoroughly; entirely, utterly," from Latin preposition per (see per (prep)).

The verb was used with wider senses in Middle English than now, including "to make, construct; produce, bring about;" also "come true" (of dreams), and to performen muche time was "to live long." Related: Performed; performing; performable.

How can a performance be open in the same way as an object can, to refuse to be finished?

now I try to connect the pen plotter to marcus

today I think I will learn how to use debian some more.

What is the difference between "su" and "su -"? Something to do with $PATH. Something to do with directories.

Its a little confusing switching between two laptops. The manual for DraftPro DXL plotter reminds us to use the hpgl IN command.

And first the tty needs to be configured: "9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, one stop bit, and continuous error checking." on page 7-7 of the manual.

stty 9600 parodd parenb ixon ixoff -F /dev/ttyUSB0

Then you can send it hpgl files or directly send commands with echo.

cat file.hpgl > /dev/ttyUSB0

echo "IN; SP1; PU0,0;PD0,100;PA100,0;SP0;" > /dev/ttyUSB0

Also its not important for the cv2hpgl module, but I want to test sending text to the plotter.

I'm using chiplotle now again and I think it might be helping with buffering, not sure.

chiplotle> plotter.write_file('myfile.hpgl')

So editing the hpgl file and running this from another terminal window (in the venv).

I think I will switch to using a python script with chiplotle imported into it. then the python script can take inputs from the esp and send them back out the other side as hpgl.
