How to make Skeleton head look at you w/ Raspberry Pi & OpenCV #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi
This spooky awesome project was sent in by Scott. Thank you, Scott!
How I made my Halloween skeleton head turn to watch people as they walk by using a Raspberry Pi Zero, servo, camera, and OpenCV python library.
