What project do you wish you had the time, the resources and the knowledge to build?

This is not a question about what is on your bucket list, since I think of a bucket list as things you might actually do. But you could mention bucket list projects as well. To keep save-the-world mega-projects off the list for now, it should be a project you could do mostly yourself.
Do you want to build an autonomous solar powered boat to take you around the world, how about a solar powered aircraft, how about a completely self-sufficient off-grid dwelling complete with automated greenhouse, how about the ultimate gaming computer with an 18 core i9, or how about a full AI system to discuss politics with, or a robot to do all your chores for you.
Personally I would like to build a humanoid android robot just for the challenge of making it seem human, not trying to make it better than a human.

    I started, but gave up on, designing a sub-1 GHz edge device. I got somewhere, but would need more time (not money) than what I want to invest, to make it reliable and scalable.

    It resulted into some blog post here, deep diving into MBED. Not the core of my design, but the rabbit hole I gladly jumped into when I realised that I didn't get the joy I expected when working on the original goal.

    I am surprised nobody has suggested an SDR.

    Do you continue to use it or is it mothballed?

    I use it - it's a good device to learn signal mixing and downmixing.

    I don't listen to the radio with it Slight smile
