The Digital Mermaid | Ep. 95 - 2 Throttles, 2 Motors, 1 Brain - DIY Helm Controls @TheDigitalMermaid | Uploaded May 2024 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
I've been deep into learning STM32 embedded development, and I'm finally starting to come up from under the rock I've been hiding under.

This vide is pretty technical, and probably not the most interesting. However, I wanted to make it anyway because projects are not all sparks and excitement. Working through long, slow spans of learning to do something is a real part of taking on big projects.
