PROJECTS
BrailleBox
An ingenious project to help blind people stay informed,
the BrailleBox at its simplest loads news stories from
the internet and then translates them into Braille for the
user to be able to read it.
The project has evolved beyond this initial concept,
though, allowing the user to slow down or speed up
news reading, and to press a button for the device to load
the latest news story from News API (newsapi.org).magpi.cc/dxMNje
Sentinel
Looking for a home security robot? Well, you might
want to keep looking (and wait a few decades), but you
can build this semi-autonomous Pi robot that’s able to
provide some level of security.
The Sentinel follows the maker’s dog, as he
wanted to see how it’s getting on while he’s not
home. Sentinel was cheaper than IP cameras. Facial
recognition has also been added, as well as text-to-
speech so the robot can talk to you.magpi.cc/YsxVco
