Happy New Year 2024 - what's your dream project this year ?

Happy 2024 - Anyone have a dream project for this year, or a project to take off the shelf and finish ?

My dream project is build an autonomous model car, i.e. a Donkey Car. I have the RC chassis. It started in 2021, RPi 3. A bit of prototyping in 2022 with a MOTOPLATE hat . 2023 replaced the RPi3 with an RPi4.

2024 I want to replace the RPi camera with a Nicla Vision. I wonder if an RP5 is in its future. Maybe this project gets an unexpected upgrade for a Road Test with ROS2.

What's your dream ?

Happy New Years Gary. Look forward to seeing your autonomous car. For my part there are some projects on the back burner. Unfortunately though, I am finding it difficult to motivate myself to finish them. However I do have a short term goal, and that's to learn more about SD cards so that I can incorporate them into future projects.

I'd like to buy two park homes side by side, one to be a combination of electronics lab, computer programming office, an ordinary office, lightweight construction and modification of various items, bespoke creation of devices, repair and restoration of vintage tape recorders, repairing electrical and electronic things belonging to friends (as well as my own), you know, the sort of things lots of us on here get up to.

The other would be bigger, perhaps double-sized, which I would use as the living quarters with all the usual fixtures and fittings plus hi-fi, large TV, amateur radio gear (not CB), etc.

A tin shed somewhere nearby would be safe housing for my two motor-cycles.

Trouble is, prices of everything have virtually doubled whereas my savings and income have not. So I'm afraid it will forever remain a dream.

Happy New Year everybody.

I guess my first (not dream) project is to build a shelf to put some projects on.

Then I would like to explore the m.2 form factor, I feel like this is the breakthrough year it deserves. I have ideas already.

I wish everybody a boring year with only precedented events and ordinary activities, in the best way possible.

Cheers to making stuff.

My dream project is to setup a new home lab since I moved to a new country leaving all my stuff behind

Something cheap...
I have some short WS2812B strips that have been waiting for me for a while, and I want to make a honeycomb pattern light panel. It remains to be seen if I put an mcu and touch buttons in each element or do it with the command from the phone with ESP32.

neopixels are fun and make magic happen. A honeycomb panel sounds good.

It will imitate something well known on the Internet (I don't need to give an example.)
