Starting to play with Arduino more. First I’ve fiddled with electronic assembly in ~20 years and the biggest learning is: middle-aged eyesight and finger dexterity suck. Reading resistor values and assembling even a simple circuit was more eye/finger strain than I expected.

I never found patience for Arduino.
Same for nuts and bolts fidelity.
Biased towards towards systems integration.
Felt like the Pi took me further, quicker that way.
Still don't understand why every sensor does not have a USB interface.

We mounted SQUID(PiCam+Accelerometer+Hotspot) on City 🚗 to take pics of the street every 1 second and match it to the accelerometer reading to automatically profile the street.
Then used CV to detect potholes.

This is when I ssh'd into SQUID while it was surveying a random street in the Bronx.
Felt like I'd connected to the Mars Rover 😂

Am Game!
Especially interested in doing some low-cost lidar mapping of sea floor
These folks are doing interesting things in that vein

Well now we have to do a naval version. Maybe controlled via tether from an OpenROV
