Battlestar Chronometer v2 (Part 1)
At the culmination of what I’ll now call “version 1” of the Battlestar Chronometer, I highlighted a few things that I’d like to improve in a future version. It didn’t take long for me to start on “version 2”.

So this is a project that has maybe been percolating for 7 years or so and now I feel confident enough to tackle it!
Network Accessible Bookshelf Lighting: Update
Since the first post I’ve ended up tinkering with the code for this project every night.
Some notable additions:
- A smarter homepage,

- An improved Manual mode,
- Behind the scenes tidying to the API.

The kit itself allows you to add voice interaction to your Raspberry Pi and in typical Google fashion it came with a cardboard case to keep all the bits in. Well that was the plan, but unfortunately my kit didn’t come with the case. Nevermind, I have access to a 3D printer! (more…)
