I hope someone out there is up for a challenge and has time and energy to port the algorithm to “C”. I’d love to see what the algorithm can do on modern multiprocessor systems. Be aware that the existing 68k code is non-trivial, heavily relying on recursion.

I’ve got several projects where I’ll be posting source code using the GNU GPL. These include.

My Pente Program “Cinco” – 68000 assembler, written for an early Mac. I’d love to see someone port this over to “C”.

The firmware, Osmond PCB, and postscript files for my exposure timer and event counter.

The firmware for my barn door telescope tracker. I’ll post schematics, artwork and an outline of the project, as well. This project uses 2 AVR ATtiny2313’s, one for an 7 segment LED controller and the other contains a simple control system and a stepper motor controller. This project is not currently on my website, only mentioned on one of my podcasts.

Java Source for the DCC programming software interface to Powerhouse PRO.

It will take a while to put these project on my website, but it will be coming…If you have interest in any one of these, let me know, so that I can prioritize the projects that have the most interest.
