- An interactive button board that I made for my kids that ran off a raspberry pi. I found lightshowpi that was designed to make christmas lights dance to music. By studying the code and following other people's implementations, I hacked together my own program written in python that allowed me to loop through my own sound files each time different buttons were pressed.
- A photobooth that I made using a raspberrypi, touchscreen, arduino, LEDs, and an old computer power supply. The photobooth allowed you to connect any digital camera (using gphoto2) to the raspberry pi and take photos through a locally hosted web app. My fork was primarily to customize the look of the webapp to meet my needs.
- A raspberry pi camera project, PiCameraBox, written in python to control a camera module so that I could take pictures, record time-lapses, or capture video inside my laser engraver.
Mixing technology, lasers, and traditional mediums, I enjoy creating unique pieces of art, decor, and more.
