both
What have you done so far?
nothing
everyday carry thread
>someone has handgun
the reason Im asking is because I want to check if there is a newspaper in our mail box
without having to go outside
So you have a scale
And you have a rpi?
I have rpi
but not a scale that is small enough
also do you know any small chink scales
I do not
Anyway, go one step at a time
You didn't even figure out how to connect a scale to the rpi
tru
>i want to know if there's a newspaper in the mailbox
without having to go outside
thats the main point
photoelectric sensor
using a scale is retarded
do u even ee
or you could use a piezoelectric element that detects the impact of something within your mailbox
endless possibilities
and a scale is the most stoopid of them all
holy shit the photoelectric sensor is pricy
>pricy
wat
119 pounds
lol
what the fuck are you searching
you can build a shitty one literally out of an IR LED and a phototransistor/photoresistor
ok
what kind of mailbox do you have?
uhh
idk
like form factor
a box with a slit on top that you tilt to shove in the newspaper
or american-styled that you open in the front that has one of those gay ass flags that the postman is supposed to put up
