I've never seen Costco be multiple orders of magnitude on any item. That would be a huge difference.

I don't believe the wing was in a stall in this situation. There would have been an abundance of airspeed over the wings. While performing a Split S the issue is that you are pulling too many G's and you and the sooner you level out the more you are pulling.

Pretty cool project! The design reminds me of the midtbot(https://github.com/bdring/midTbot_esp32).

I made a small solar powered CGOL(https://davidhampgonsalves.com/solar-powered-conways-game-of...) that has a low pixel count. After 100 frames it randomly generates a new starting point b/c I didn't implement loop detection.
Are their any algorithms or techniques for generating interesting starting states?

Cool, it looks like your processor is only slight newer then mind and is also on a 32 bit version of ARM so this approach would probably work. I'll keep this in mind for next time mine needs some work.
Really nice project.

I didn't realise they made 4.7inch version. I find that a little small for my uses but you really did a lot with it. Nice project.
I made a solar powered conways game of life with an esp32 and a 4.2 waveshare display but the whole time I wanted a few more pixels.

Nice result.
I agree, dithering on these devices works really well. After this project I worked on displaying images of the sun from the NOAA satellite. Until I got dithering working displaying the image with just 4 levels of grey was was very lackluster.

Very nice. You've made a beautiful looking device. I'll be in touch.

Yea doing that the first time was a pain but FBink is pretty widely supported on these type of devices and really lowers the barrier to entry.

It goes into deep sleep and only wakes up once a day after midnight. It gets about 3 months on a charge.
I use to leave it plugged in but got sick of looking at the cord.

Yea, to avoid this I run tbis device(kindle non-touch v4) unplugged and get 3 months on a charge with a fairly new battery.

I have a music server(Navidrone) running on a similar setup (https://davidhampgonsalves.com/junk-drawer-phone-as-a-music-...) but preventing Termux from being killed is a persistent issue. PostmarketOS seems like the best option but its device support is quite limited.
