I'm building a new controller board for Apple Wireless Keyboard (A1314) so that I could have complete control on what each button does and add new functionality (e.g. switch b/w devices quickly, fast blutooth connect/reconnect, longer battery life, mouse control).

#155A substitute for the conky part in my $ conky | dzen status bar. It's practically a learning exercise.

#160Earlier quoted context omitted.
The only real failsafes I have are overcurrent detection on the blade motor (when you hit something bad, current will spike) which triggers immediate shut-off, as well as a big red emergency stop button that will be on top of a pedestal at between knee and waist height. Otherwise I intend to implement naive obstruction avoidance to start where I detect proximity to an obstruction and simply steer away from it when I'…
