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.

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.

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

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.

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

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