About the project
I’ve always loved tinkering with Raspberry Pi’s but had never ventured further into the world of microcontrollers and electronics. Until Raspberry Pi released the Pico. It was so cheap it was zero risk to pick one up and learn something new, both in terms of hardware and what it was capable of and also coding.
I’ve since bought a few versions, one being the W, with wireless built in.
One of Raspberry Pi’s first projects is to build a web server to control the blinky light. But I had the ambition to make this a startpage for my home network. One page URL, with all the links I typically use, in logical categories. Available 24-7.
I’ve detailed the project in my blog post here, with the project stored on Github here.
I’ve posted it to a few places (Reddit being one) and it’s been received well. It’s amazing to see people star and fork it, even in small numbers.
I’ve been going back to it here and there to improve both the code and the capability. Once to better handle images. That blog post is stored here. It’s also spurred me into a similar project, this time involving more lights, custom 3d prints and MORE lights.
As usual as soon as it’s stable expect more on my blog.
