Yep, that's what inspired me to make this. A lot of this stuff was directly learned about from the members of his Patreon discord channel.

Looks like a clone of Joe’s work. Sensors, capability, and even board layout are quite similar.

Surprised there’s no mention of Joe and his “AVA” on the git.

Yeah sorry, Joe's AVA was definitely an inspiration. I'm actually part of his discord channel and a lot of people there have helped me with this design.

Definitely reminiscent at first glance. I don’t know if/how Joe licenses any of his work or if any of this is infringing in any way so I’ll avoid that topic.

I will say that I am seriously impressed with folks that are able to combine so many disciplines, especially when each domain seems to have its own set of unique hard challenges.
