Summary
by metafa.stThis article introduces 'Magic Markers', a novel method for creating interactive visualizations using a pen and paper. The technology combines physical markers with digital processing to enable users to create dynamic, responsive graphics without the need for specialized software or hardware.
i made this for my niece for her 3rd birthday. it was inspired by this reel: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIE2O59Svcz/?igsh=MXNnbmJsZWR.... the main difference (i believe) is that this is entirely self-contained and does not require integrating with a smart home system. the bulb connects directly to a wifi network on the nanoc6, and the nanoc6 posts commands directly to the tasmota command endpoint on the smart bulb. this was a lot of fun to build :)
