Sounds good. Simpler would work well for DIY'ers. Then later maybe some AI could learn using it also and skip LECIS?

The python/music/abstraction lecture by Lars Lon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9koJOCL8Bms&feature=youtu.be

is a lesson I could hear.

What steps are repeated most, and how to describe what is in them in terms of old lab gear, USB connected lab gear, ethernet
connected lab gear?

For Lars Lon's style of non-obsolescence, the user needed to know when something was incapable of responding with meaningful data
because he set most server parts of code to "not error out", responding with, "Yeah, sure, I did that", even though they couldn't.
For low cost lab gear, one thing to do differently than his style is security. You probably want a send-message function and a
separate send-message-securely, just so you know it really was secure.

Otherwise, you would like functions abstracted such as "time-difference( rising-edge(machine-22,IC-U2, pin-a12),
(rising-edge(machine-22,IC-U2, a13))", or "measure voltage(machine-22, IC-U2, port-type-adc, pins(a16)).

Then when machines change, you redefine machine-22, which might still use port-type-adc, or maybe port-type-diff-comp instead.
That's the python on microcontrollers version of Lars Lon's abstraction suggestions. It's harder to stay as abstract as he likes
since the hardware is limited and the peripherals and networking are different from case to case.
