I have an Raspberry Pi 3B+ sitting for another project, but that won't happen until I get my hands on the official Pi PoE hat (coming "soon").
Instead, let's put this unproductive Pi in an old clock, get the time, and then work on a personnel assistant with reduced spying on the user!
What I have,
- Raspberry Pi 3B+ (32GB SD)
- USB to SATA adapter (remains of a shucked external drive)
- Crucial 128GB M4 SSD
- Old clock... I do not remember why I have it
- My wife while learning Python found a base project to fork. It already has features such analog or digital faces, local weather, etc. Goal is to add and enhance.
What I do not have yet,
- New "clock face", a ~7" LCD screen (HDMI or Pi ribbon)
- Pi Camera
First, the housing need a little work. It will need a bath in Murphy's Oil Soap.
After taking it down to bits, the bathing, and the drying; it's time to start from the bottom up.
Cheap bonding agent dries quickly and guarantees your product will fall apart after the warranty. Basic everyday yellow wood glue will take about 2 hours per surface to cure, but it takes a sledge to destroy the end result.
Future posts: More wood, hardware, and software.
