Here’s how I did it!
The first ever Raspberry Pi Design Contest is challenging makers to build something novel that includes the Pi single-board computer. And one lucky maker will win a Printrbot Jr. 3D printer for their build!
Dave Bryan added a Raspberry Pi and a couple of continuous-rotation servos to a commercial cat feeder to make it dispense automatically: Back in February I started teaching my Raspberry Pi 101 class at The Hack Factory. After the first class I think I had Pi on the brain, I was scheduled for a quick […]
