It'd be really interesting to hear about any projects that people are currently working on, or have planned. I just recently put together an electronic compass (to help align antennas) and am putting together a DIY GPS disciplined oscillator as part of some radio-related plans, my first proper foray into FPGAs. This weekend I played with a pimoroni 7 colour e-ink display - the display is lovely and crisp but the refresh time of 30s+ makes it pretty hopeless for most real world applications in practice, which is a pity. Other fun stuff I've done recently includes a web app video transcription tool that breaks videos down in to chapters, summarising each one briefly using AI, and a custom terminal for MacOS that "remembers" what you were doing (a bit like termux does).
Cheers
Patrick
