## Executive Summary
Do you ever feel like someone or something is watching you? In the case of this project, it is! You can use a Fruit Jam running CircuitPython with a USB webcam to display monster eyes that gaze in the direction of motion captured by the webcam. The CircuitPython code utilizes Turbo helper modules to speed […]

## Architectural & Systems Analysis
From a silicon and hardware engineering viewpoint:

- **Interface Neutrality:** Mitigates dependency on proprietary BSPs, empowering open toolchains to address hardware directly.
- **Supply Chain Verification:** Schematics and open pinouts allow deterministic audits against silicon errata.
- **Lifecycle Decoupling:** Decouples physical hardware utility from commercial vendor end-of-life obsolescence.

## Impact on the Open Ecosystem
Ensures that computational autonomy remains in the hands of the architect rather than closed silicon vendors.
