Face-Following Carousel @Raspberry_Pi #PiDay #RaspberryPi

Super handy project from Pete Warden up on Hackster.io. I totally relate to the story behind the project as well — this could be so great for things like watching recipe videos while moving around in the kitchen. The tutorial also points to our Adafruit Learn System Guide Getting Started with Raspberry Pi Pico and CircuitPython by Kattni – thanks for the shout out!

When I’m cooking or cleaning I’ll often watch shows on my tablet, but I’ll be moving around the kitchen and my hands are often full or dirty so I can’t keep the display in view easily. I have a similar problem at my desk, where I have a fan that I’d like to keep pointing at my face as I type. With those situations in mind, I decided to create a stand that you can place an object on, and it will always rotate to face you. This project guide shows you how you can build one too, for around $50, with no soldering!
