Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Kalman Filter Tutorial: Kalman Filter from the Ground Up
They are widely used in narrow circles :)
Two of (arguably the best) open source RC aircraft flight controllers (ArduPilot and PX4) are using extended Kalman filters in their state estimators (essentially sensor fusion that provides attitude/position estimate):
https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/tree/master/libraries...
https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot/blob/main/src/modules/e...
I'm not that familiar with cleanflight/betaflight/inav scene to know what the FPV racer flight controllers use.

here pro vs here 4 GNSS RTK performance
Trimble also has some nice stuff, I think the BD940 is interesting. I do not know if it's recommended or not, but Ardupilot has a driver for the Septentrio GPS (https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/blob/master/libraries/AP_GPS/AP_GPS_SBF.cpp), as well for Trimble GPS (https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/blob/master/libraries/AP_GPS/AP_GPS_GSOF.cpp). So people have used these brands for drones.

Robotics team is entering in an autonomous boat competition, need some advice.
I'd like to emphasize the reference to Ardupilot bc there is a lot of material already developed there: a lot about navigation and guidance from UAVs, and the low-level stuff. Check this out

Lilygo T-Deck: 2.8-inch IPS LCD display, mini keyboard, and ESP32 processor
Gah, I just ordered one on impulse [1]. I've wanted to build out a WiFi PDA for quite some time now and I like this hardware.
I'm quite liking the idea of running tulip MicroPython [2] on it, or going back to pure MicroPython [3] and writing some drivers. Apparently something like ampy can be used to upload/download Python files [4].
Threads could be quite exciting for running multiple programs at once [5], although I have no idea what it means for two programs to fight over GPIO! It does seem as though MicroPython can only utilise a single core [6].

about microprocessor
If you really want to engage in the travesty that is shoehorning a high level scripting language into an environment that has 512 bytes of RAM and less clock cycles than an electric toothbrush, there is micropython.

Ask HN: Embedded Scripting Options for Microcontrollers
Needed for hobby project, maintained by very small team. Haven't decided on specific microcontroller. Needed for general bit-banging, speed and code size are not priorities.
So far have considered MicroPython [0] [1] and Lua [2] [3], but open for suggestions for others.
What are experiences?
