A project log for Detachable Electric Drive for Wheelchair

The aim of this project is to build an electric drive for my daughter's manual wheelchair.

Okay, so I'm pretty stoked about this-- Triad Semiconductor finally has the castellated TS3633 modules in stock. These are the light -> voltage frontend photodetector modules that go with the Vive lighthouses. If you haven't read about how the Vive lighthouses work for precision tracking, it's a pretty awesome design. But in short, these are a key piece in putting together a crazy-high precision indoor tracking system. Because of the precision and fact that it's royalty free, I'm convinced we're going to see some awesome innovation coming out of this tracking in the next couple of years.

Anyway, I just got my order in and should have them in hand soon to start putting together the tracking piece for the autonomous chair.
