Milestone Description

Integrate xToys functionality with the Open Source Sex Machine (OSSM) to enhance user experience and expand device capabilities, incorporating Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connectivity and a message streaming service while addressing specific challenges related to real-time control and device variability.

Objectives:

1. Implement xToys API connectivity
2. Install and configure BLE via the NimBLE library
3. Develop a robust message streaming and queuing system
4. Create synchronized motion controls with consideration for OSSM variability
5. Design user interface for xToys features
6. Ensure secure data transmission
7. Optimize performance for real-time responsiveness

Key Challenges (as noted by xToys maker):

"Bluetooth is slow and can't be depended on to send at a consistent rate. But position commands being off by a fraction of a second is very noticeable."

1. Addressing latency and consistency issues with Bluetooth communication
2. Developing an effective command queuing system that allows for interruptions
3. Balancing between T-Code limitations and custom protocol development
4. Accounting for OSSM hardware variability in motion control

Proposed Solutions to Explore:

1. Implement a JSON-based command system with queuing and queue management
2. Develop a modified T-Code system with queue clearing capabilities
3. Consider alternative connectivity options like serial or websocket for more real-time control
4. Implement a calibration system to account for individual OSSM hardware configurations

Key Features:

• Seamless xToys script execution on OSSM
• BLE connectivity using NimBLE library with optimized performance
• Advanced message queue system for ordered command processing with interrupt capability
• Real-time motion synchronization accounting for hardware variability
• Custom OSSM-specific commands for various operation modes (position-based, speed-based)
• User-friendly interface for script management and device calibration
• Compatibility with existing OSSM functionalities

Technical Requirements:

• NimBLE library installation and configuration
• Implementation of a robust message streaming and queuing service
• Development of a calibration system for individual OSSM setups
• Integration of BLE and message queue with xToys API and OSSM controls
• Potential development of a custom, compact message format for Bluetooth efficiency

Success Criteria:

• Successful execution of xToys scripts on OSSM with minimal latency
• Stable BLE connection with consistent command delivery
• Effective queue management allowing for real-time updates and interruptions
• Accurate motion control accounting for individual OSSM hardware configurations
• Positive user feedback on integration usability and responsiveness
• Maintained stability of core OSSM functions
