Challenge: Cameras and Motors

Don't know what to do? Here are some suggestions:

1. Try to control a stepper motor (we didn't do this yet).

2. Try any of the camera activities we didn't get to here (like specific object or face tracking, using EdgeImpuse and more). 

3. Try to use motors to have a camera follow your face using the challenge example at the bottom this page.

4. Can you figure out how to use OpenCV to add a filter to a camera image?

5. Can you add buttons to your Raspberry Pi. One takes a single photo and one takes a series of 5 photos. (easier)

6. Create a visual interface using Pygame that would allow a user to control the movement of a motor.

7. Add two buttons to the Raspberry Pi. One moves a motor left, one moves it right. (easier)

8.  Try the tutorial that applies sentiment analysis to the latest NYT headline.  (easier)

9. Create a web interface that can control a motor.

10. Make a servo move based on API data (for example, have a pointer point at something)

11. Try using Tensorflow machine learning library with the camera.

12. Use a temperature or distance sensor to control a motor. (easier)

13. You don't have to do any of these! Think up your own experiment.

Documentation Requirements

1. Post your finished code to your site.

2. Take a photo / video / screenshot of your working device and post it to your class site

3. Write a paragraph about how it all works.
