   Know what you mean ... I've got tons of parts - for
   those "someday" projects  :-)

   The executors of my estate are NOT gonna be happy.
   Hell, even have a ZX-81 in The Heap somewhere  :-)

   PWM ... why not steppers ?

   Build a better chassis ? Of course that requires the right
   tools, which means off to the hardware store, which
   means bringing back a bunch of other stuff you didn't
   know you needed and ........

   I come across robotics sites selling more-or-less
   finished chassis. Just bolt yer stuff on.

   Radio comms, esp with limited units like Ards, can
   be annoying. They DO make an Uno with built-in
   wifi now - so depending on your coverage you might
   be able to run it straight up from a laptop. There
   are various 900 MHz bi-di modules too.

   Again, I get it.

   My last job left me time and leeway to fool around with
   various projects that MIGHT, maybe, be useful someday
   some way. A few were. Fun, and I learned a lot.

   The Pico does interest me. Basically a hopped-up
   microcontroller and you can get wi-fi too. Looks
   easier than starting with a raw PIC or '51 and
   building up from there.

   In any case you can get surprisingly good computing
   power and peripherials for pretty cheap now. Outfits
   like Grove have whole fams of accessories kinda
   meant to go together.

   I don't build a UNIVAC to start any new
   computer project, so perhaps it's not
   "cheating" to take advantage of what the
   modern microcontroller/microcomputer
   catalog offers.

   Just glad a LOT of people are still into this
   sort of stuff - don't think a smartphone is
   the end-all of tech. The spirit of Radio Shack
   lives on.   :-)
