As I mentioned last time, I added a Raspberry Pi B+ to the project, basically to take advantage of its GPIO pins. Today, I was going to start interfacing the Arduino , which is driving the Neopixel stick. I had read that there was ...

I got a box of nice parts to build my copy of the Foginator 2000 My biggest confusion was what to do about the other parts I would need. I did not know if they were arriving seperately or whether I needed to order them. As tim...
This is my second blog entry about this project. I must have saved the first one to the wrong area on Element14, and I'll work on moving it after I finish this entry. As I mentioned in part 1, I could not get the special pin extend...

As I read through Charles Gantt's blogs on the Foginator 2000, I saw that he used an off the shelf relay board to switch the fogger on and off. However, I didn't want to spend the money when I could just as easily create my own relay bo...
Hello everyone,Candi is almost ready to give to children. Tombstone is done, programming is 95% complete, treats are bought, infinity wishing well is almost complete. We have been very busy. We decided to have the children pick a ghost or ghoul to ra...
The Halloween projects from CyborgDistro are under way. This should show you some of the awesome Multi-Robot Pi-Borg costumes you can make with Raspberry Pi and a couple of inexpensive robot arms! We know you've always wanted to become a Pi-Borg -- n...
Quick update. The extra parts came in but when I attempted to replace GPIO header with no pins sticking out with one with extended GPIO pins I am having problems actually getting the new Header to slip on. I will attach a picture at botto...
First off, let say thanks for being part of this project. A couple of weeks ago I started assembling my project. The LCD display will come after. I managed to destroy a servo, by playing with it. Also, I'll simplify the box by using and RGB...
While I'm waiting for some parts to arrive, I decided to build the amplifier board that was supplied with the parts kit. Here's what came in the kit: Step 1 of the build was to install the resistor: Step 2 was to install the d...
Welcome back to the Trick or Trivia Blog. In this installment, I am going to lightly document the process I used to build the faux tombstone that will be used to hold the Raspberry Pi 7-inch touchscreen. My original plan was to buy a 5-foot tal...
A very busy October so far and finding out that my project kit has been misplaced by UPS means that I have less than 10 days to Halloween with not really a lot of equipment at disposal! So I have come up with an achievable plan I can work on over the...
So we (Chrystal and I) received Candi's remains yesterday, a very happy yet sad occasion. Attached are lots of photos of what we received. Also is a chart of what we will make for the Halloween candy dispenser. Below is what has to be modifi...
The blogs that seem to be getting updated are the 7" RPi screen ones so I thought I would keep the Foginator people rolling while they are waiting for their kits to come to them. :-) Earlier I posted a picture listing all of the parts that...
Project items came in! List of items staring in the center and spiraling out clockwise:1. The Raspberry Pi Sense Hat. Key to the project.2. The Raspberry Pi board. 3. Adafruit 8 channel level shift4. Adafruit...
First off, let say thanks for being part of this project. Sorry for the late post. A couple of weeks ago I started assembling my project. For starters I choose to setup just the GPS module. The LCD dis...
While we wait for Candi's remains to arrive we are preparing for the undertaking to bring her generosity back to life for children. My daughter Chrystal is very good at programming Scratch language. This will be the programming language used for this...
