Trying to build the future using solder fumes, aluminum chips, and suspiciously inexpensive electronics from Shenzhen.
This organization is under continuous development.
Many projects are experimental and evolve rapidly.
Some prototypes may contain:
- unfinished firmware
- questionable wiring
- dangerous optimism
- excessive LEDs
- engineering chaos
Working as intended.
Practical aviation experience + embedded hardware + imagination = better tools.
