I hope this is not the wrong place for this and I apologise if anyone doesn't like that I posted it here.
I wasn't sure where to post it and as it is related to the future development of Axo and I do seriously intend to get up to speed with the code enough to be a useful contributor or at least a beta tester eventually so I posted it here. Mods please feel free to move it to where ever you think it fits best if not here.
I don't expect to be spoon fed but I would appreciate some guidance as to where to start with understanding how the patcher and firmware work, how they communicate as well as how the firmware and hardware architecture work.
Knowing enough to work on the firmware will take a year or so I expect realistically but once I get to that point I will start working on a board revision and/or add on card(s), with more memory, faster cpu and balanced audio i/o and eurorack audio and cv i/o. From there I can possibly turn out commercial products such as eurorack modules built around Axo and a 19" rack mounted general purpose programmable DSP that uses open source software and hardware with 2 Axos in it.
I don't care if people don't like my ideas or get offended at the suggestion of future possible improvement to what I think is a good enough base for me to invest my time in. Isn't the fact that I believe in the project enough to put my time into it some of of compliment to the project itself anyway? I really don't understand the resistance to change and to ideas about possible future directions that I seem to be getting.
Anyway.
I can see a direct path with Axo as it is and the tools and knowledge I have already to make what I need for myself, by myself anyway, I just need to do the work now, which I am doing.
Perhaps if others appreciate what I am doing as I post my work I will think about making some products to sell based around Axo if there is enough interest.
I don't care if no one wants to help or use what I make because I need these things for myself and commercial options are far out of my price range.
It will be a great learning experience for me even if I fail.
I've been looking for an open source project to get into for years and the possibilities Axo offers have got me excited enough to motivate me to get into it seriously.
Make of it what you will, this is my plan, help out or don't, that is up to you.
I will get there eventually one way or another under my own steam regardless.
I don't think I've been this excited about, and committed to, a project I've been working on since I was first learning programming in high school. It would be great to see some other people as excited and enthusiastic as I am about it as well.
Thanks all.
Oh and BTW in case I haven't made it clear already.
I think Axoloti rocks and I will be eternally grateful for the people who have worked to make it what it is already.
I just think it could be made even better.
