5 [fun] ways to fall in love [again] with code
summary
Five concrete projects and the actual tools used: Minecraft redstone to model real logic (including a simulated 4051 chip and an LED matrix idea), Arduino and Raspberry Pi wired to PHP via serial and GPIO, an RC racer controlled over Bluetooth using carica firmata, Lego Power Functions and Boost hacked into Arduino, and parametric modeling with OpenSCAD to export STLs. Demos include a wireless Arduino RC car, PHP-driven GPIO demos, and a working redstone logic gate — not high-level promises but working builds.
