The full story
A first proper project: a speedometer for the maker's son to use skiing, built from an ESP32, an OLED display and a cheap NEO-6M GPS module. It cycles through current speed, maximum speed and distance, and matched the car's speedometer and odometer in testing.
Claude wrote the code and helped with troubleshooting, asking the maker to check whether the GPS TX and RX were swapped, which they were. A smaller battery-powered version in a printed case is planned.
