Radar update! Built a live sensor-fusion display: 360° LiDAR (FHL-LD19) + 24GHz mmWave radar (RD-03D) on an ESP32-S3, streamed over WiFi to a Clockwork Pi uConsole running Python/Pygame. The debugging path was a rabbit hole: mirrored point clouds, a 90° rotation offset, CRC errors from a Serial-print bottleneck starving the UART buffer, radar frames silently dropping under WiFi congestion. Fixed it all with a compact binary protocol instead of JSON, a non-blocking radar config sequence, and properly sized UART buffers. Now it runs clean — zoomable live radar/LiDAR overlay, real-time target tracking, distance rings, the works. Sometimes the “one small bug” is really five bugs in a trenchcoat.
