Want to learn all I can about Telemetry Controls and Telemetry Costumes!
Hello! This is my first post here, so please forgive me if I did something wrong-
I've really been enjoying all these courses and, while I haven't been able to make anything yet, feel like I'm learning a whole bunch! Though I will say that there is one subject that I haven't been able to find too much about on here that I have a big interest in, and that's Telemetry controlled systems. More specifically, Telemetric controlled suits and costumes.
The idea of eventually being able to possibly have the telemetric controller/Waldo actually inside the costume intrigues me and has been sort of simmering in a pot in the back of my mind for the past few months. But I feel like I've hit a roadblock on learning about this and thought that I might as well go ahead and see what other info I could possibly be missing! (Which I will admit, is probably quite a bit, my brain still has trouble wrapping itself around potentiometers!)
Any info on this is appreciated!

I would start by learning as much as you can about modern digital servos like dynamixel servos, stepper motors, linear actuators, etc. Then you can dive into microcontrollers like Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, etc.
We do have some animatronics and electronics courses that cover some of the basics:
