Raspberry Pi Cat Laser 2.0 pt. 4 with Tony D!

Raspberry Pi Cat Laser 2.0 pt. 4 with Tony D!

Author: Adafruit Industries July 29, 2016 Duration: 1:29:44
Live stream to http://twitch.tv/adafruit showing part 4 in the Raspberry Pi Cat Laser 2.0 series. This part looks at how to build a cloud server with Python, flask, and flask-socketio which allows multiple people to control the cat laser. Instead of each user trying to individually access the Pi they instead access the cloud server (running a virtual machine for now) and it sends control messages to the Pi (using MQTT) and serves up the Pi's video stream. Adding the cloud server allows many more users to control the laser vs. if they tried to access the Pi directly and overloaded it's meager CPU.

Adafruit Industries has long been focused on making technology accessible, and their Raspberry Pi podcast is a direct extension of that mission. It’s a space where curiosity about this small, affordable computer meets practical, hands-on guidance. Rather than just defining the Raspberry Pi as a low-cost ARM GNU/Linux box, the discussions here explore what that actually means for your projects. You’ll hear conversations that delve into the intersection of hardware and software, often centered on Adafruit's own specially designed components and how they unlock the Pi's potential. This isn't about abstract theory; it's about the tangible steps between having a board and building something functional with it. Tuning into this podcast feels like joining a workshop where the hosts share a genuine enthusiasm for problem-solving and creative electronics. The tone is welcoming but assumes a drive to tinker, making it a great resource for both beginners finding their footing and experienced makers looking for specific insights. Each episode contributes to a broader, collective effort to learn and share knowledge, embodying Adafruit's core goal through the lens of this versatile little computer.
