windscreen wipers that dance (well, sort of)
Why take life so seriously? I actually think this is: 1) quite amusing 2) not that much of a waste of time 3) something I might do to the Lil'van - just for cuteness okay, okay, it's simple. you have a motor that moves left and right for your windscreen wipers, it's a motor, you have controllers for motors that you can then write code to control them with. I didn't say it was rocket science....and it'll probably end up burning out the wiper motor, but, hey, they're not that expensive (yay! go recycling activists) and if you can find old/abandoned wiper motors to use even better. On a different note: I'm still very keen to get around to my FarmerBot system. Next year I really want to have the greenhouse all setup and automated - along with some lovely Machine Learning going on so some lessons can be learnt. ie. I don't want to just read some sensors and have a hardcoded rule that states, if variable X == y and variable Z IN[1,2,3,4,5]...
