components came a few days ago, which means there are no more blockers to full-speed-ahead. 

been writing firmware, backend, and UI since their arrival — and benchmarking battery life and processing power on the microcontrollers. 

shaped the case for the main unit today and pushed it over to the printer overnight. we'll find out tomorrow how my measurement gambles play out.

Adafruit is kickass, by the way. there's drivers and guides and python libraries for every single component i bought from them. it seriously could not be easier. 10/10 would recommend.

everything is moving really quickly. Fusion 360 continues to shine as some of the most consistently impressive software i've ever used, and i haven't really... i haven't run into any blockers yet. nothing has caught me in a troubleshooting quagmire, everything has just been working, and answers to my questions abound.

knock on wood.

more to come. stay tuned.

update: some parts fit perfect, others need finesse 👌 

oh and literally all the screw holes are out of place

no kings. only working on impossible things.

What are you building exactly? Do you have these logs in a blog somewhere I can read easily?

sprinting towards a first build right now, but will be setting up a formal log once that happens (aiming for tomorrow or the next day)
