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.
Wow, these have come a long way.

Pretty cool project! The design reminds me of the midtbot(https://github.com/bdring/midTbot_esp32).
"The Blot is paid for by Hack Club" - My reading is the machine is free if you create a piece of generative art.
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?

My favourite cave generator and the Dyson hatching is a great touch. Good read.

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.

Dandelion fritters and pancakes are also excellent and b/c they use the the flower heads / leaves they are easy to forage for.

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.

Hacked kindles work well for this.
