RaspiWiFi VS CXA81-IR-Remote-Server

I made a robot that cheers every time the Green Bay Packers score (American football).

The chassis is 3D printed and a Raspberry Pi is hiding, with a couple of speakers, in the base. The Pi connects via WiFi to the local network and checks ESPN’s publicly available JSON for that day’s game to determine if the score has changed.

I gifted it to a friend that owns a bar and wanted him to be able to move to new networks and reconfigure without using a computer. So, I wrote some python scripts that interface with the GPIO pins on the Pi to reset the device and broadcast a WiFi network and web interface that can be used to connect to other networks.

That last bit now has over 500 stars on GitHub!

https://github.com/jasbur/RaspiWiFi This is a python solution I went with. I'll be honest, it does seem a bit buggy. For example, I have found if you type in your wifi password wrong, it didn't reset again to default back to the hotspot. Maybe I did something wrong. I also soft bricked a pi I had to totally reflash by messing around with this code, so be careful.

I've been working on a RFID based music and story player for my daughter in spare time. https://www.github.com/ozfive/StoryBox

The other physical thing I built was a IR remote with a raspberry pi zero w for my Cambridge Audio CXA81 amp. I just recently put together and Android app with a couple buttons to interface to the API I wrote. https://github.com/ozfive/CXA81-IR-Remote-Server.

Both projects are mostly written in Go.

Don't get me started on the 2.5 years that I worked on custom AVOD systems for private jets and helicopters. I probably was the first person to integrate an Amazon Echo into a aircraft cabin to control the lighting/audio/video through voice over a satellite connection.
