Or is the idea to build capabilities for people without the means or desire to purchase expensive products to have similar or superior capabilities of commercial alternatives? I would argue that the latter is more important.I would too but it is obvious that there are a lot of people who believe in the first goal. I think it is because they already have such systems.

I agree completely and it is my goal but my ability to achieve this is limited by the hours in the day. I have designed and build wind sensors, water speed sensors for myself as well as a lot of other things but I simply cannot produce them and sell in quantity. As it is I had to give up on selling autopilot parts for a bit to try to deal with my own problems.
