-# Todo
+## Status
 
-Update doc for other humans. Boot new hardware, do spindle speed control, test, use in machine.
+New boards are in, waiting for time...
+
+## Next Steps
+
+ - stuff one board
+ - re-hash code for different pinouts, with updated libraries
+ - try speed control with IQ-less FOC (simple sine commutation)
+  - if this is not satisfactory (field lag due to inductance), use 6-step comm
+ - implement speed control network command
+ - re-hash documentation
+ - use to control a spindle in a machine 
 
 ## What
 
-The MMKBLDC Project is my attempt at building a decent controller for Brushless Motors. BLDCs are excellent sources of mechatronic actuation: they're [power dense](https://jakeread.pages.cba.mit.edu/actuators/) and serve the motion control justice present in most state of the art robotics. However, controlling them is non-trivial, and requires the combination of some EE expertise, some control expertise, and some hardware know-how.
