A Useless Trophy

The trophy runs on a raspberry pi with a 7" touch screen. I uploaded the application I wrote in python if anyone wants to see how it works.

Other things to note:

• Guizero was used as the application framework
• WiFi connectivity handling with RaspiWiFi
• Hiding the cursor with unclutter
• Getting Mars Weather Data
• Keeping the Pi from turning off the display and sleeping

Special thanks to the Developers over at MacroFab for answering my basic python questions.

Stephen and I discuss the Trophy design and build over on our podcast: https://macrofab.com/blog/mep-ep188-design-contest-useless-machines-wrap-up/
