Here’s one
Gratifying to read how many of you are pi-heads (special shoutout to Gordon R. Durand, who uses one as his main desktop machine).
I know, I know…I understand that once you’re buying premade and troubleshot components, you’ve left the realm of tinkering with innovative machinery and landed right on putting together a Heathkit – but I must say, Pidog looks fun.
You have to supply the Pi, but it comes with an awful lot for the money – sound modules, light and movement sensors, pretty sweet looking servo motors. It must have an internet connection because it hooks into AI for facial recognition and coordination and stuff. Here’s a YouTube (complete with annoying robot narration).
I just realized I can’t have one because I don’t have enough clear desktop space to walk him on. I wonder what diabolical things a clever person could do with all those components, connected differently…?
