I use a post-it note. Works well enough for me. :)

I don't really understand a lot of what happened in this video but it still is cool. Good Job!

One more thing. why at 7:36 did you write "donde esta lunch?" if you can speak Spanish enough to find it humorous to write partially in Spanish then why not just write it completely in Spanish? not really a serious complaint. just wondering.

Hi Alex, I love your videos! I'm assuming you have a background in engineering. Out of curiosity, what discipline are you? And how does your job now compare to the work you did in school? I'm in my fourth year of university studying mechanical engineering with an emphasis in robotics, and I'm pretty excited to get out into the real world and work as an engineer!

Hi Philip! Thank you for your kind words! I'm happy to hear that you enjoy the videos! My background is also in mechanical engineering and robotics -- it is definitely a hot field right now! My job lines up pretty closely with what I studied in school -- my studies were mostly hardware/controls focused, so there are quite a few opportunities out there in this area as robots become increasingly used in the workplace. Best of luck as you finish up your studies and good luck with your job hunt! I have no doubt you will find interesting things to work on in the real world!

Would it be possible to use the Raspberry Pi remote access to run a 3D printer while you are not at home? I've heard of octoprint, but it still takes special configurating to use the outside of your home.

yes it is certainly possible i haven't tried myself tho as i like to be around when i start a print

Could please tell me what soldering iron you have please ? Thanks

MrJefferson105 I use a wireless Hakko iron in this video. I put a link to it in the video description!

Did you explain the reason for the random message? Just for fun? Or a way to make sure the tweet goes out without triggering Twitter's "you already sent this tweet" error?

ohmynoun That was just for fun. Keeps my mornings exciting to get a different message every morning haha.

or you can set reminder on your phone :/

There are plenty of other cool projects. This is an overkill!

Would it be possible to make a 3D printer with a RPI in the next episode?

+Thib _ It’s possible to build a 3D printer using a Pi, but that being said, it is probably cheaper to buy a kit/pre-assembled version than to buy all of the components individually. 😕I’m not sponsored by them, but Monoprice has great printers for great prices!

Super Make Something thak you very much i’ll look up for it

Maybe the ESP-12E can do the same thing🤔🤔🤔

鄭曜寶 Good idea! I have not had a chance to play with one of these yet, but would be interested to try it out!

Yes, just give it a try - using Arduino IDE your start will be smoothly!

Love your video, I think the Pi is an overkill for this project, but it depends if you are going to use it for other purposes, for example vpn box, etc

Avrora Foto Thanks! Yea I agree - while the computational power of the Zero is pretty low, this project doesn’t nearly max it out. Because of the extra resources though, this project is a great base to expand on for further home automation tasks.

Well, why not 3D print the case in PLA? I guess you printed it in ABS as it really did warp.

doesnt really make a different. The temperatur was to high, and he probably doesnt have a heated bed.

Mr.Burito PLA is less prone to warping, at least that's what people say. Don't have a 3D printer myself but I am looking forward to get one. He says that his printer doesn't have a heated bed at 9:01, so you are totally right with that.

Nice video! First!
