## Maker thingies
Even though I love software development, deep down I am also still a maker. And a maker likes to "make" things (go figure...), so when I got asked to do a project involving a Raspberry Pi I couldn't refuse. Even though I had no idea what exactly the project was going to entail I enlisted anyways.

Throughout the entire project we will be using a [github repo](https://github.com/Mastermindzh/han4pi) to sync changes. One of the benefits of a github repo, apart from the actual git stuff, is that we automatically share all our code / designs. This means that anyone who is interested can either reproduce or follow along with us.

Hey guys, as some of you know I was really, and I mean **really**, excited when they announced the official raspberry pi screen. Now why is that might you ask? Everything the raspberry pi people have released so far has been really solid. The boards, the sd cards, the wifi-dongle, all of them work absolutely fantastic! So as soon as I saw that the official screen was available for pre-order in the UK I ordered myself one and started waiting.

The moment had arrived, I plugged the pi into a battery pack (creating a makeshift tablet-like device) and waited. First boot wasn't all that promising... Touch didn't work and I had an annoying little square in the top right. This was however not my first rodeo with a pi and I quickly worked out that the little square indicates insufficient input power. I did a quick update and after rebooting touch worked wonders! The only thing my makeshift tablet test was missing was some sort of input method for the keyboard. For this I used a program called "matchbox", which was available in the default repository. After playing around with touch for a bit I switched to a solid 2 amp power supply and the little, coloured square disappeared, as suspected.

Of course! All code will be open source! All other stuff (drawings etc.) will also be opened up to the public. Everything can be found on [Github](https://github.com/Mastermindzh/TekTree) once again.
## Step 1 - Design!
## Step 1 - Design
I've thought long and hard about what kind of "controller" I wanted to use. And of course I immediately wanted to use a Raspberry pi. But I asked myself, why a pi? Why not use something simpler (like an arduino) to control the lights and switches. After some serious brainstorming I decided to go with an arduino in the end. I figured the Raspberry pi zero would be too cumbersome to work with for a simple christmas tree. Besides, I have a lot more uses for a pi zero than I have for an arduino, and I got more arduino's laying around than pi zero's at the moment.

Last friday I actually got to cut the parts for my TekTree! So excited! This is by far the biggest "piece" I have ever laser cut but luckily everything went well. This in part is thanks to my brilliant friend [Ron](http://www.ronnabuurs.nl) who helped me create the sketches for the laser cutter. Thanks again [Ron](http://www.ronnabuurs.nl)!

In the 3rd part of my TekTree project I'll show you guys how to wire everything. This time I even used separate colours for the power,ground and signal wires. So no more complaining ! ^\_^ All in all I think the result looks absolutely wicked. Even without the arduino case which has yet to come in the mail. (and probably won't fit)

I want the project to be "manageable" for everyone. To do this I kept the wiring as simple as possible. Every LED has 2 prongs, 1 goes to ground 1 goes to the arduino. Simple. Same goes for the potentiometers, 3 legs, 1 power 1 ground 1 signal. The only led's I did bundle together (in terms of wiring) is the star. I did this to create a single star instead of multiple led's.

Well yes, as all of us know I'm perfectly capable of designing a [refined build](/images/blogs/han4pi/Front_thumb.png). I didn't want to go with a pcb this time however because that would make the barrier to entry way higher on this project. And that is something I definitely **don't** want.

Only a few of the goals I had set I haven't reached. I have given up on losing weight and because of the extra portfolio work I didn't really start LSR either. 5 new tutorials is a detable goal.

## Losing some of my stuff!
## Losing some of my stuff
As I mentioned before I have lost some of my hardware to a lightning strike. I didn't just lose my motherboard however. I also lost my microphone (blue snowball), my keyboard (razer blackwidow), my xbox controller receiver, 8gb's of ram and some random usb peripherals. Some of the stuff was insured and thus I have gotten some money for it. However I did not simply want to replace the lost stuff, I wanted to upgrade too.
