Prototype

Gesture dimmer on the bench

Proximity-based dimming module — small batch, lab-only for now.

A proximity sensor, a tiny MCU, and a lot of tuning. The gesture dimmer in the shop is the first public slice of this work — still very much a prototype.

Future posts will cover firmware, failure modes, and when *not* to use proximity in architectural installs.
