I did my Picasso Design Challenge as an unofficial contributor as I didn&amp;#39;t fancy the stress. My HoloPiBot didn&amp;#39;t work out quite as I had hoped, but it did something as well as illustrating some things not to do, plus I had great fun. I learnt a lot about step motors (even though I thought I already knew stuff) and driving them as well as the Raspberry Pi and LCD displays. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is always good to see what others do, including when it doesn&amp;#39;t quite work&amp;nbsp; out as we hoped.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dubbie&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=7228&amp;AppID=224&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Sweating to the end</title><link>https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/picasso/b/blog/posts/sweating-to-the-end</link><pubDate>Wed, 05 Jun 2019 04:19:18 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:3229d2c6-326d-499f-8360-25f4470ced2e</guid><dc:creator>gam3t3ch</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;Just relax and have fun it&amp;#39;s about the journey enjoy it!&amp;nbsp; But can&amp;#39;t wait to see the updates.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=7228&amp;AppID=224&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
