Daniel Arcé, Mike Steventon, and Stefan Wiechula have been working on a 
browser based firmware programming interface to give users of AID an 
interface for modifying the AID firmware.

After several brainstorming sessions and mock ups we have decided to 
start at the back end and create an engine that could be generalised 
enough to be interfaced by a number of user level graphical application 
interfaces such as a web browser using html forms or Java, Pure Data, 
Python, Processing, Shockwave, Flash etc. These are planned for 
development "in the future" ;-)

Back in the realm of the current, Stefan presented a proof of concept 
python script last week which maps inputs to outputs according to user 
preferences and generates a .c file.

As a test we set AD channel 0 to write to Bus0. Mike compiled the 
resulting file and downloaded it to AID. A bend sensor at AD0 sent data 
to 8 LEDs at Bus0 and alighted them according to the degree of bend in 
the bend sensor. A successful proof of concept.
