# Last Week's Plan
## ARCADE: BAD TO THE BONE
1. Get pymodbus and other necessary packages installed on the BeagleBone.
2. Follow pymodbus tutorial to send information back and forth to the bone.
	1. To do this I need to figure out how to let the BeagleBone share my laptop's internet connection. In progress.
	2. This really should not be so hard.
3. Robert and I joked about completely switching gears and [doing everything in Rust](https://github.com/slowtec/tokio-modbus/tree/main). Only joking. For now.
	1. There's no reason we couldn't have a MODBUS client written in Rust on the Bone while the EndPoint uses Python. Shouldn't be an issue because MODBUS is just the communication.
## Diffusion
Work on that abstract paragraph.
## Zotero Web Server
1. Start installing things. 
2. Ideally get a WebDAV server working. This is probably a couple hours of work depending on complexity.
## Rust
Chapter 4!
# Accomplishments
## Tasks and Notes From This Past Week
Deleted because I think it's bugging out
### Papers read this past week
## Remarks
### ARCADE: BAD TO THE BONE
I got a lot done for this this past week.
I did the following:
1. Learned how to use Git and GitHub. Figured this is a good investment of time to do the versioning for me.
2. Learned how to use Python virtual environments. This is important so the code is portable.
3. Learned a whole lot about pymodbus. Made two scripts that have no problem sending a sine wave back and forth using TCP locally. 
4. Tried to get this working with one client on the BeagleBone. Getting weird network issues though, I think the computer or the bone is using a default networking route that is screwing things up.
5. But the beaglebone does run the pymodbus server, it just can't be reached by my laptop yet.
### Zotero Web Server
1. I got ssh set up on the web server for Zotero
2. Installed a web and file server "Caddy"
3. Get a WebDAV system working
	1. Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning
4. Got Zotero working with it. This was a PITA but it is operational. 
### Qualifying Exam
1. Started working on technical abstract. On v2. 
2. Currently 117 words over budget.
3. Know what I can trim though. 
4. Feeling good!
### Other things
Still working on monitor recommendations.
Classes started. First week was piece of cake. Didn't know atoms eat electrons and puke out antimatter. 
# This Week's Plan
## BAD 2 THE BONE
Get pymodbus server running on the bone.
Start integrating Robert's FHE code.
Asynchronous?
## Zotero Web Server
Write instructions
## Qualifying Exam
Finish abstract like today so Dan can 'consult'
