Chris Hall3 said:I was just sitting here brainstorming—you know how it is—and realized I've got an Arduino for maybe $25, plus five stepper motors and drivers at about $2 a pop... basically the cost of a Starbucks latte under the table $33 and enough potential for some serious fun. Give me something to build, guys—something for five motors. Maybe a spider bot? Or some kind of walking robot? I need something concrete to sink my teeth into while I wander around. Everyone seems to have all the answers, and frankly, I’m always looking to pick the brains of the smarter folks in the room.
An automatic chicken coop door that triggers at dusk!
Throw in an ultrasonic sensor to detect coyotes lurking near the coop, which then kicks off an MP3 player with a full-blown laser light show to scare the living daylights out of Aunt Linda.

Good grief, you’ve certainly got some life experience under your belt... what are you doing, just shoveling cash into the furnace and praying for the best?
Lay it out for me—put an Arduino R3, an Adafruit board, and a Raspberry Pi 3 right there on my desk and let's see you go at it... man, this IoT stuff is just one giant headache after another. 🙂
First things first: get your IDE set up and make sure you've actually selected the right port on your computer. Get that LED blinking... just to prove you can catch a break for once... LOOK! IT'S BLINKING!!! 😍
So, what exactly were you planning to run with that stepper motor system? 🤔
What am I supposed to use to get this grill going? 🙂
If I could just get my hands on the full recording right now, I honestly think this is something nobody should be sleeping on.
My late grandmother used to always say, "The devil’s coming for you!"—and believe me, she knew what she was talking about 🧐
I really owe this forum a thanks for helping me practice a little bit of patience and grit 🙂

If you tried to jam that thing onto the tip of your nose, the whole damn pole would just snap right off. 🙂
Man, whatever the Germans cook up, people just blindly follow! 🙂
It’s absolute nonsense—it couldn't even handle two hundred pounds!
Just like those Passats and other junker cars... 😉
