Another highlight is the LEGO Control Board for the Raspberry Pi.

After a configurable time interval the sand is smoothed out by a pair of vibration motors and the cycle starts over again.Īlong with the automatic time mode, the clock software has a command mode which allows you to control the pen using simple commands. A real eye-catcher! This nifty gadget built around an Arduino Uno uses some servos and a pantograph mechanism to write the time in a sand bed.
