The Raspberry Pi Bell Slapper - a software-controlled bell

The King of Ding!

This is a quick video I made to show how I built the 'Raspberry Pi Bell Slapper'. The full details about the project—and how you can build one of your own—are in this open source project on GitHub:

Let me know if you like these kinds of projects and I'll try to record and publish videos about more of them! I usually don't set up a camera or document things as much on these quick one-off projects, but if you like this video, I'll try to do more :)
