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.

JägerMachine

The JägerMachine is, according to its maker Pegor, “an IoT shot-pouring machine powered by Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+. It features a full GUI that allows the user to configure the device, pour a shot, and also check previous messages sent to the machine. Once paired with its own Gmail account, the JägerMachine waits for emails containing a secret user-defined subject line and a custom message that gets displayed on the screen. Once an email is received, a shot is poured.”

Brilliant. It started as a daft idea for a gift for a friend’s birthday (the pair exchange Jägermeister-related gifts as a joke), and has gone from a boxy design in Fusion 360 to a fully functioning oblivion dispenser.
