why not just take the cables from button and make connection that way

2017-01-23 16:03:52 UTC  

Wait.

2017-01-23 16:04:03 UTC  

This is an automated servo

2017-01-23 16:04:06 UTC  

That pushes buttons for you

2017-01-23 16:04:19 UTC  

Wtf are you automating this way

2017-01-23 16:04:29 UTC  

indeed

2017-01-23 16:04:43 UTC  

probly stuff that SHOULD NOT BE automatised

2017-01-23 16:05:06 UTC  

Maybe lights, if you rent your place.

2017-01-23 16:05:12 UTC  

But it seems so dumb lol

2017-01-23 16:05:20 UTC  

I'm thinking about any kind of machine with buttons that I don't want to open the casing and mess with the wiring of

2017-01-23 16:05:59 UTC  

what is this autismo shit

2017-01-23 16:06:06 UTC  

^

2017-01-23 16:06:11 UTC  

lights, coffee, turning stuff on, etc

2017-01-23 16:06:16 UTC  

the product in that webpage is terrible

2017-01-23 16:06:20 UTC  

but the idea is useful

2017-01-23 16:06:25 UTC  

Yeah I guess.

2017-01-23 16:06:34 UTC  

why not just hot wire the buttons to an antenna

2017-01-23 16:06:41 UTC  

and use a dumb phone app

2017-01-23 16:06:54 UTC  

^

2017-01-23 16:07:03 UTC  

that's my end goal in 3 months

2017-01-23 16:07:06 UTC  

There are so many more elegant solutions

2017-01-23 16:07:10 UTC  

but i gotta learn to write apps

2017-01-23 16:07:15 UTC  

I don't even want an antenna or an app, I just want to be able to electrically override the button without having to care about the electronics behind the button or hack the plastic casing sometimes

2017-01-23 16:07:26 UTC  

I have some wifi enabled lights, expensive. But it's pretty sweet turning my bedroom to a brothel

2017-01-23 16:07:31 UTC  

or be able to remove everything relatively easily

2017-01-23 16:07:38 UTC  

ur gon run into structure problems

2017-01-23 16:07:54 UTC  

me htinks

2017-01-23 16:08:01 UTC  

if you use wifi then the NSA and GCHQ can hack your lights

2017-01-23 16:08:11 UTC  

how so? A servo that can press a button shouldn't need to be bigger than half-thumb size, no?

2017-01-23 16:08:20 UTC  

the servo has to stay in one place

2017-01-23 16:08:32 UTC  

the servo vibrates

2017-01-23 16:08:37 UTC  

duct tape

2017-01-23 16:08:45 UTC  

you think tape would fail too quickly?

2017-01-23 16:08:47 UTC  

i would guess maybe 10 hits and it would flap off

2017-01-23 16:08:52 UTC  

fucking hipsters.

2017-01-23 16:08:57 UTC  

even industrial tape?

2017-01-23 16:08:58 UTC

2017-01-23 16:08:59 UTC  

idk

2017-01-23 16:09:03 UTC  

fug

2017-01-23 16:09:07 UTC  

these are the first things coming to my mind

2017-01-23 16:09:11 UTC  

I'm looking for an old walkman, but they're like 100+
