I volunteer at a train, trolley, and subway museum. As a non-authoritative, hobby project combining my love of trains, electronics, mapping, and data, I am building a LiDAR scanner to map and analyze the museum.

But it became a fan favorite and that in-universe model, the MSE-6, appears throughout subsequent movies, TV shows, and video games. All […] The post This mouse droid knows how to party appeared first on Arduino Blog.
