Firmware at Scale: Managing Features, Memory, and Usability on the ESP32
How real memory limits, multiple node roles, and DIY usability constraints shaped how firmware is built, delivered, and deployed in LCC Fusion.
Why LCC Fusion Exists
Explains the architectural problems LCC Fusion was created to solve, and why a systems-first approach matters before wiring, configuration, or hardware choices.

How early observations about LCC events, open-source foundations, and flexible hardware led to an interaction-focused automation architecture in LCC Fusion.
Implementing Distributed Power in a Layout-Centric System
Well-planned layouts already distribute power, but modern electronics require clean, regulated, and protected supplies. This tutorial explains how distributed power is implemented using three power levels, centralized hubs, optional downstream distribution, and local board-level conversion. By combining layout power, regulated pod power, and on-board protection, the system balances capacity, wiring simplicity, and electrical isolation.
Built-In Self-Testing: Making Modular Electronics Trustworthy
DIY PCBs rarely fail in obvious ways. This post explains how built-in self-testing in the LCC Fusion project validates power, communications, external boards, and attached ICs—providing fast, practical confidence before modular hardware is placed into service.
