Interesting farm platform (acorn)

Posted on March 24, 2022 by robertwilkie

The author is pretty colorful. Its using an ardiuno/RPi combo for controlling it, right now its just the platform and its goal is to automate farming. I think this looks interesting, but has a ways to go.

Nice Magic Mirror build with RPi

Posted on January 15, 2022 by robertwilkie

Nice build, but expensive. The author didn’t cheap out on the build. I think he has at least $200 into this. https://www.instructables.com/Build-Your-Own-Google-Home-Enabled-Smart-Mirror-in/
