Raspberry Pi, Servos, Lasers & Legos : Science Project 2017

Posted by - March 22, 2017
We over-built the entire thing. From too much code to too many lasers to tearing apart an old DVD drive I took a lot of side-trips. It was all a lot of fun and I learned a lot about lasers (masers), lenses, servos, python, and about how to finish a project inside the guidelines. Middle school is a lot to get used to and a big science project really helped. There were mis-steps and side goofs, but some how I tied it all together and salvaged a 100% score.

Raspberry Pi, Servos, Lasers & Legos : Science Presentation 2017

Posted by - March 18, 2017
