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) :

{{#cargo_query: tables=Project

fields=skillSet where=_pageName = "Wiki Tape Measure Gadget" format=list default= No skillsets

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.
