Something is still missing

apn201

A While ago I got a new shipment. It's a 8X8 LED matrix kit for Raspberry Pi. The idea is that I'll assembly the kit and use it to practice programming on the device - and then eventually I'll just replace the LEDs with resistors or something.. at least that's the theory.

I'm still missing something and that is the motivation to start. I know once I start, things will move quickly as I cannot leave any problem unsolved, but also, as I know that this project will consume all my free time for some weeks. I'm afraid to start.

  • Juha,

     

    I often find myself in a similar situation, especially when the sun is shining, as it is at the moment. I often tell my wife that I'm inversely powered by the sun - whenever it shines I just have to sit/lie down in the sun and have a doze.

     

    It is also the reason I have not made an official PiCasso Design Challenge application. I managed to get an old Raspberry Pi B running connected via Ethernet, for the purposes of gaining experience and then just stopped. There's still time for an unofficial entry though.

    Nice to know that I'm not the only one. The feeling of having "so much time" and "if I started, I could easily get this done" just makes it too comfortable to take it easy - until you notice there is one week left and you have not yet started.

     

    Also I have not made the official application - although if I did and was accepted, there would be more pressure to get things done.
