first-hand Parallel Logic development diary
Public project diary maintained by Parallel Logic. It marks the project ongoing, documents planned DEFCON34 pickup, project motives, prototype r1 testing, LED-bank design, planned IR message exchange, and evolving Python/C++ firmware architecture. Its embedded photos are evidence only, not a reuse grant.
