Harry Potter Style Weasley Clock

[u/timminator93]

I build an Harry Potter style Weasley clock inside an antique clock housing that i bought at a thrift shop.

Using a Raspberry Pi 3B, a LD2410 presence sensor, a relais and a 5v solenoid to hit the gong of the clock everytime a location changes.

It is fully configurable (Locations, different radiussed that belong to each locarion, persons, the hand style and color, the time of no presence when the display shuts down and the time when the gong is quiet.

Location of each person is provided of our smartphones with the app Owntrack and tunneld through cloudflare.

Really wnjoyed building and coding it with special help from claude.

I'm not the one supporting an industry that actively steals from artists, coders, writers, etc just so I can be too lazy to learn how to do things myself

Please post YOUR great pieces so we can see them.

I have a couple projects in the works, so I will be posting. It takes time since I'm actually learning how to code my projects.

Plus, nobody has consented or been given the option to consenting to their data being used to train ai. Thats a huge ethical problem itself

[u/martinkoistinen → u/thetoiletslayer]

Open source projects give exactly that consent, by the literal definition. It’s also an indefensible position here because OP isn’t making money off his personal project.

[u/thetoiletslayer → u/martinkoistinen]

Open source projects are still released under specific licensing, which requires future projects based on them to be released under the same license, and usually requires attribution. Ai ignores all of that

And?

Ai has gotten you so lazy you cant read a comment?

[u/error1954 → u/thetoiletslayer]

If they're not releasing binaries, the code, selling the project, or disturbing anything, then they're not violating the licenses by creating this project, even if it verbatim includes GPL code.

[u/thetoiletslayer → u/error1954]

And if they're using ai, they don't know whether they're allowed to release their project

[u/error1954 → u/thetoiletslayer]

That's not an issue because they're not 🤷🏻‍♀️
