@astrm_labs is building autonomy for all unmanned systems.

every layer from ground up - boards, algorithms, models, sims, machines.

It's like posting a go-cart to his race car, but I'm pretty proud of me little rack.

[Shivam Kajale @shivam_kajale]

There is no other way!

We’re looking for more engineers and researchers to lock-in on our mission. DM if you want to bring such tech to the real world.

[Harshit Parikh @harshit2283]

India has built affordable crematoriums. Genuine credit to the people who did that.

What it hasn't built is remembrance. The customs, the record, the explanation of what just happened.

Someone should start a deathcare company here.

no pilot... no joystick... just vibes, AI, and target lock @astrm_labs

@confusedqubit @oxidecomputer @Etched @bcantrill I’d be thrilled to get my hands on something in hobby class

[Harshit Parikh @harshit2283]

You don't choose the hand you're dealt. You just choose how hard to bet. That's the game I'd play...

AFC_01 takes flight 🛸

First test - multiple peripherals and flight modes tested; all stable.

What's flying it is ours end to end: the AFC_01 flight controller, the on-board LoRa receiver, and ASTRM's own transmitter - OmniTX. No off-the-shelf radio anywhere in the loop.

And the thing in our hand isn't an imported radio. It's a phone! OmniTX turns it into a long-range LoRa ground station - full control of the bird, from an app.

From the flight controller to the link, @astrm_labs has silently but swiftly built the entire sovereign stack in-house.

God's eye view with ASTRAL.

Rendered inside a spatially reconstructed mission map at @astrm_labs.

Rendering the future in real time!

[Shivam Kajale @shivam_kajale]

🎯 AFC_01, bring-up complete!

STM32H743, full sensor suite, SD logging - and a LoRa RX integrated on-board - all on a 30.5×30.5 mount.

One board, no add-on receiver. Because why not.

@astrm_labs , in-house. Flight test soon🤞

[Harshit Parikh @harshit2283]

What to do with these FR4 remnants?
My plan is to use it as poker chips maybe

[Harshit Parikh @harshit2283]

Anthropic is responsible for my non-existent sleep schedule, resetting limits twice in a week, crazzy. @thsottiaux A folks getting inspired by you

[Harshit Parikh @harshit2283]

My sleep is inversely proportional to Anthropic/OpenAI/Google launching their models.

[Harshit Parikh @harshit2283]

Establishing provenance is a pain nowadays, I'd rather read books pre 2000s or maybe what survived is propaganda again

[Shivam Kajale @shivam_kajale]

Few things are as satisfying as killing a hardware bug!

Today's @astrm_labs : an MCU whose flash-pin naming is so misleading it sent our MCU -- flash connections to the wrong pins — and did it consistently enough to sail through every continuity check. (The pads are named after one on-chip bus but wired to another. By-the-numbers layout = quietly wrong.)

Root-causing it was the thrill engineers live for: snooping signals off tiny SMD pads on the scope, firing probe commands in bootloader mode, decoding SPI frames bit by bit — then bodging a Frankenstein board to test the hypothesis.

The flash finally answered with its real ID — firmware flashed clean, and the whole board came up as intended. Fix verified.

Already folded it into the next spin.

[ASTRM @astrm_labs]

@astrm_labs is building for real world situational awareness.

From fragmented data to common operational picture.
