## gistfile1.txt
# Notes

# Agenda
- Hardware is chugging along
- Someone got a board manufactured from an uknown source
- Mac build is maybe fixed

# Notes
- Generate a release build now that Mac buids are fixed
- Adrienne found alignment bugs in the 930 and others filed in Githubs
- Do we want to automatically mirror the images when you're knitting? Brother had a reverse button so if you wanted
    things not to be mirrored, you'd have to remember to hit it. AYAB patterning is reversed by default but the image isn't. Causes
    problems with lace.
  - Could add a preference to always mirror?
  - Are most people used to the established Brother way? Maybe, according to the survey that Sonia ran.
  - Should clearly label the image with knit side or purl side
  - Bottom display should be exactly what the needles are doing
  - Various suggestions for ways to display which side you're seeing.
    - an e icon that is clearly mirrored or not
    - words
    - making image look like real purl or knit images
  - Make it a setting
  - Will be running a beta at some point to get real feedback
- Hardware is chugging along, looks mostly done.
  - Can't find good/reliable source for 910 and 950 connectors, common machines in the UK, some overlap with the 965. Tom might know a cheaper option.
  - Looking for parts that are still being produced and are easy to get and not super expensive. Connectors are harder.
  - PCBWay or JLC to do assembly or DIY. $20 each fully assembled based on quotes. Connectors will be more.
  - Might need to ship with only a few machines supported then other people buy connectors individually.
- Craftwork, artist collective, does textile stuff, did the machine knitting documentary, textile camp in Michigan every year.
  - Going to be home institution for NSF grant
  - Might be able to handle distribution. Have experience marketing and selling stuff.
  - Inviting them into the Discord
