What this project explored

Stepper motor circuit boards and systems for swapping driver ICs and sense resistor values while testing drivers on a torque transducer.

This comes from the physical-computing side of the work: hardware, robotics, AR, and embodied interfaces where software has to meet messy real-world constraints.

The project is part of a broader pattern in Kyle's work: build the smallest useful version, learn from the behavior of the system, then use that prototype to decide whether the idea deserves more time, polish, or a totally different direction.
