Important news about HackSpace

We have some important news to share about HackSpace: Issue 81 was the last issue of HackSpace as a standalone magazine, and HackSpace has become part of The MagPi, the official Raspberry Pi magazine. Starting with issue 145, We’ll be adding pages to The MagPi to make room for the stories and tutorials you’ve come to expect from HackSpace.

Create a Motion Tracking Face

By Andrew Gregory. Posted

Chartreuse is an interactive face that follows you when you walk by. When she sees you, her eyes turn yellow, and she gets a happy expression in her eyes. As you walk away, her eyes change to blue, and she sadly turns away.

Chartreuse is powered by an Arduino Uno, two servos, and a stepper motor and a couple of addressable LEDs. She’s constructed from a few pieces of 1/8” hardboard.

The creators, Anna Lynton and Alex Fiel, are both Technology, Arts, and Media Students at CU Boulder.

The build instructions are available at: www.instructables.com/id/Motion-Tracking-Face/
