    That’s so damn cool. Honestly, stuff like this makes me want to learn some engineering. I’m an electrician so going back to school isn’t really a priority, but down the line…

      Right. This is at its core a mechanical computer. This is only a few changes away from doing stuff like calculating real world data

        It is calculating real-world data. It’s just specialized and applied calculations.

        Yeah, but my hardware knowledge is real basic. Closest I get to stuff like that would be PLCs, but I’m not really an industrial guy.

        Maybe as a hobby though
