This tutorial from instructables user Aleator777 shows you how to build a fun desk accessory that alerts you when there’s a new email in your inbox:
We’ll need to configure the Raspberry Pi before we get things up and running. I’ll be making several web-connected Pi projects using the Netgear Wi-Fi adapter, so I’ve created a brief companion guide for setting up the wireless connection and links to properly setting up the Pi. Follow along here:
Connect the Raspberry Pi to the NetGear G54/N150
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
