Not an Ad, just showing the book I wrote :)

Weird view on OSS... I'm still in university but my GitHub profile would've already gotten me 13 offers if I would've been into starting to work for a company.

It got me my first talk on a conference, got me in contact with a lot of different, very interesting opportunities and people from around the world.

Haven't seen a single disadvantage in it, yet. Not even one.

Totally legit, let's just kill everything that is a predator but the humans themselves... What a thoughtful comment, thank you for that

Good question, I hope we will find some easy ways to get over these "problems" as well...

It's called Blockly. Google developed it, it's open source and free to use for everybody!

Haha, yeah I absolutely understand that.

Haha, thank you for all the ideas. They are pretty cool! I knew I'm not the only one with this kind of problem :D

Thank you for the idea with the new name. You're right, it sounds a bit more suitable.

Thanks, these are some pretty nice ideas right there!

Yes, that's the idea behind it. If you have an idea how to improve that, i would love to hear it

Yes ok, thought you looked that up online.

Well, good point. Forgot to add that, good thing i hadn't to pay that :D

Where did you look that up?

Sure, i'll add that immediately

Awesome project, would be interesting to add something like a leap motion to make it controllable without smearing the mirror :D

Hey, you're right. But since I'm a CS student who likes to try out and learn stuff, over engineering is not a bad thing for me.

For a little home, we have an unnecessarily large inventory and it is really comfortable to just look it up on the smartphone than take the staircase to the basement and search through the stock :D

It's not just ketchup btw ;)

I'm still searching for an over engineered use case for my new label printer... The printing with this system is simply done with a Wifi printer nearly anyone (at least here in Germany) has at home. You can simply print a list of all the stock and if you want even a simple groceries list of which items are empty ;)

We installed a new shelf but once this one is full, you still got the problem. I mean, you could add even more, but at one point the room is full and you're back where you started :D

Good idea, will record one and add it to the project, Thanks

Oh, sry. Definitely will add that soon.

Basically it's just the screen put in the case and all the other stuff stuck inside the case.

Haha, thank you. Let me know if you come across problems or bugs.

Thanks, the printer is an Objet30 3D Printer. The washing station is, like you probably already know by now, to get rid of the support material.

Yes, i thought about that in the beginning too. The problem i had was, that if a product isn't already in the database (outpan), you have to enter the name to add it.

I really dislike capacitive displays, especially writing on them and i think a onscreen keyboard is also really annoying.

Right now i have a keyboard which has a little touchpad, to get rid of the separate mouse.

But i also would prefer a touchscreen. Being spoiled from the nice keyboards on smartphones and tablets, i couldn't live with a PC onscreen keyboard.

I'm sorry, i didn't explain it very well, i'll definitely fix that. Basically the problem was, that we had a lot of groceries in large amounts while the ones we needed weren't there at all. If we went shopping we mostly forgot to check what we already have and bought even more of the things we already had, forgetting the stuff we needed.

The Project therefore is a simple tool to scan your products and keep a list of the things you have (with the amount). If you're on your way to the grocery store and you realise, that you don't really know if you need this or that product, you can simply VPN into your home network and check the stuff you have at home.

Did this make it any clearer ?

Haha, why would you make it look like a cat :D

Like already written, the information comes from Outpan... If the product isn't already on outpan you're asked to enter the name of the product and a new entry is created.

Thank you! I definitely will explain it better/in more detail.

Thank you for the advice with the hardware, I'm not yet too familiar with the hardware side, but I'm learning and your feedback is really important to me, thank you.

I tested the barcode scanner with quite a few products and thought it to be pretty good for the money. I mean, for me it's a personal thing, so no need for super high performance. If the item is already in the system, you can scan 2-3 times per second, which is pretty good i think.

I'll definitely look up the PI and monitor part thank you !

No need to guess it, i will add the problem to the readme.

In short, the problem was, that we always had like 10 bottles of ketchup in our basement, because we never knew that we still have this many... So we ended up buying the stuff we already had and still forgot the things we needed. So we had to go again.

This way, you can easily VPN into your home network and search for the things you need and not the ones from which you still have enough.

You're completely right... There was a problem, for which this project was/is the solution. I will definitely add that to the description.

Hey, yeah sure. Should be no problem, i haven't tried this yet but just create 2 scripts and enter your username and password in the InstaPy(username="", password="") constructor. Then just use 2 Terminal windows/tabs to run both of them separately.

Have fun

Yes, exactly. If it enters the space of a tilted device, a force (depending on the rotation of the device) is applied to ball.
