Needed CAD of a USB camera Give Claude 10 photos with AprilTag backgrounds, it overlays it’s model to the references images and iterates the dimensions Model checks out

Well it’s one way to temperature compensate an IMU Need to make a Peltier test jig next

It did in fact turn on

Time to see if it will turn on

For those that don’t want to touch the GPIO header of their Jetson Made with @BackplaneWorks STM32G474 3x CAN-FD 3x LSM6DSV16X IMU + legacy IO

My $1,065 PCBA run got hit with $229.21 of taxes and fees at the border: 21.5% Even after reclaiming GST, that's 11.5% in fees on goods with a 0% duty rate. Why? I was $65 over the import threshold. It was $1,000 in 2005. It's $1,000 today. I was born in 2005.

How the test bench started, how it’s going now. The first time Claude flashed my STM32 I was in awe Now it tests a bus of my smart sensors while I sleep Sometimes it needs me to do a power cycle I’m just the meat that presses the button Time to get a programmable power supply

Testing some ROV thrusters from Taobao. 1/8th the price of a Blue Robotics T500. Corrosion resistance and reliability are yet to be seen, but they definitely push water. Follow along as I build an autonomous underwater robot with them.
