Your Smart IOT

<p>I was invited to a dinner at Queens’ College in Cambridge a few weeks ago. I got talking to another attendee, and said enthusiastically:</p>
<p>“Do you know, I don’t think I’ve been here since I was an undergraduate. Back then I was here every week.”</p>
<p>“Supervisions?”</p>
<p>“No. This is where the Star Trek society met.”</p>
<p>My mother despaired of me: a 21-year-old woman who had a giant crush on a yellow android, went around in public with a communicator keyring that went “<a href="http://ift.tt/230VD7v" target="_blank">burbleburble</a>” and wore a Bajoran earring. (Everything turned out OK in the end.)</p>
<div class="ezAdsense adsense adsense-midtext" style="text-align:center;margin:12px;"><script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js" type="text/javascript">

<p>So this project…let’s say it <em>really appealed</em> to me.</p>
<div id="attachment_21113" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img alt="screenshot (1)" class="wp-image-21113 size-large" height="300" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" src="http://ift.tt/1MSP7pO" srcset="http://ift.tt/1MSXebu 300x, http://ift.tt/23iuFIE 768x, http://ift.tt/1MSP7pO 500x, http://ift.tt/1MSXcQE 792x" width="500" />
<p class="wp-caption-text">REAL nerds know it stands for Library Computer Access/Retrieval System.</p>
</div>
<p>This is the first finished, publicly available LCARS interface we’ve seen for the Pi (and it works with a touchscreen as well); <a href="https://tobykurien.com/" target="_blank">Toby Kurien</a> has made this adaptable for any project you’re running on your <a href="http://ift.tt/1o7SsLh" itemprop="url" target="_bank" title="Raspberry"><strong>Raspberry</strong></a> Pi, so you can substitute your own retro-future display for whatever dull desktop you’ve been using up until now. Everything you need is on <a href="http://ift.tt/1VUP41O" target="_blank">Toby’s GitHub</a>. Toby’s using one of our <a href="http://ift.tt/1XVdJpS" target="_blank">official displays</a>here, and the finished product looks (and sounds) great.</p>

<p>While Toby’s using this interface to monitor and control different parts of his automated house, he’s made it easy for you to swap in your own project. Go and <a href="http://ift.tt/1VUP41O" target="_blank">take a look at the code</a>, and report back if you end up using it!</p>
<p>This is not a Rob Z post, but I am going to pretend it is.</p>
