I’ll be working at the Microsoft booth at the August 27, 2016 Maker Faire in Mokena! I’ll be showing off my Raspberry Pi gizmo. Since I last blogged about it, I’ve added a relay and have control of one of the two motors working. The other relay is due to arrive in the mail this week. I also am close to having it pull vote counts from my voting site, http://bit.ly/PiVote, a site I created with an application platform called OutSystems. The voting site exposes a REST web service that reports the vote counts. I recently added a REST web service so it could collect votes, but I haven’t added code to the UWP app on the Pi to use those. I also started thinking about a UX redesign, where the UX would be separated into three parts: Config, Test, and Vote. Come see me at the Maker Faire and I will tell you all about it!
