Hey Stroller, nice to see a friend in a similar situation as mine! I'm sure that having the hardware already, you probably made a lot of tests in the past... can you share some of your experience? and also, i wonder, why did you let the project down? was it because of lack of motivation (ie other priorities) or because the difficulties you found?
