Project: | Wiki Tape Measure Gadget (I) |
Description: | A tape measure that changes how far it is unrolled based on a value on a mediawiki page. |
Skillset(s) : |
3D Modelling • 3D Printing • Electronics • Mediawiki • Programming • Python • Raspberry Pi |
Project Type(s) : | |
This was mostly built as a curiosity, and a study on how to combine mediawiki with physical computing, which could tie into physical Office Automation.
A tape measure rigged up with a Raspberry Pi using Python and a servo, which scrapes a specific mediawiki page for a number and rolls out the tape to that number.
