1) - You can put the pump stones anywhere you like. That is part of the 'randomisation' of the game. I tend to only place them where there is a 'blank' but anywhere is fine - it's your call!
3) - Good question, we wanted the Loot Crates to be simply 'bling' (cool stuff to dress your animal in), but as you perhaps saw from later iterations, we got more 'creative' - so for example the Wings allow you to avoid conflict and 'fly over' an opponent, (or you can still fight if you want to - but you have a choice). This explains why the 'moustache' or the 'scarf' have no real 'purpose' other than being silly, but now that you mention it, Mark and I do wonder if this might be fun to say, make the Moustache have the power to say move a Loot Crate in exchange of missing a turn (as all Baddies have Moustaches, right?), likewise the Scarf might keep you warm at the cold mountain top, and allow you an extra dice roll (as you're not cold, so move faster!). Etc. We are indeed, just playing w…
see more »5) - In truth, we didn't make a 'special move' for the Underpants. The reward was just winning them. That said, Mark and I have yet to play anything less than 'best of 3 games' with our boys, and so you could perhaps have a 'carry over' rule, where you play a second game and you have some special power - perhaps you don't fall down a level, or something....but you'd not want to make it impossible for the other players to then beat you. Hmmm - these are all great questions! Thanks for sharing. Any more - just ask =)
View Instructable »2) - If you're using the 'paper' Loot Crates, we'd assumed you simply turn these upside down, and place them this was, so that you 'reveal' these and turn them over when you land on them. Sorry if that was unclear ;o)

Hi Guido,Sorry for slow reply - was just checking in with the guy who did the PCB for me. I'll try and upload the Gerber files when they are back from Holiday...You are correct that the 'Protoboard Hats' are just of Amazon, and you can solder those yourself, DIY, just as I did. For a 1-off this seems sensible, as the circuit is not super complex. However, if money is not a big issue, you can of course get a quote for the PCB from the Gerber Files.Hope this helps =)

Thanks so much for the kind comment. Yes, we do get a kick out of trying to do things cheaply, even if I respect 'time' is the big luxury for things like this!
Thank you - glad the guide was 'clear'. I tend to write detailed guides as often it's the small details which you can miss if you're new to it. So please keep me posted on how you get on. My son was probably 5 and 1/2, when we did this first, so it's a nice age! And you're correct that many fences will have some. You don't actually need that much to get started - a few good handfulls will work.

View Instructable »Re: Rotary Encoders, the vertical one can work with a wider tolerance for being 4 or 6mm dia, as this uses a coupling - and you can just get whatever you need to fit. However, the horizontal RE would need you to modify the CAD, or drill out the hole slightly. This is not a huge task, so long as you do it with care, going from 4mm-->6mm is likely to be ok, and could even add some epoxy around the central shaft (3D printed part) first, and let it set, so as to add strength. Just a thought.Good luck, and no worries on the questions! =D

Hi Guido,The RasPi4 was used as it was the latest Pi when I was doing it. However, it is arguably 'overkill' and so 1 or 4 GB versions will more than run it.It works on a RasPi3B+ also. And I'm told in principle it will work with lower models also.Hope this helps!Jude
- Hey Jude commented on Hey Jude's instructable RadioGlobe - Spin to Search Over 15000 Web Radio Stations!View Instructable »
Hi Guido,You can use any RasPi 1GB or 4GB - both have the same physical structure so the CAD files will work. Do keep me posted of your progress!! Any questions, please ask =)J

This is so great! Please would you post translation when you find time. (My wife actually works in translation, so this is especially interesting - and fine if you say 'this has no equivalent!' - sometimes that's the really intriguing stuff!!). No pressure, but can't wait to see these 'in action' also...

Yes, I doubt you'll squash a chicken, anymore than anyone can ever catch a pigeon! They may be dumb, but they are fast! But yes, for the sake of getting kids to appreciate 'safety in electronics and mechanics' it's a good problem to set kids. The counter sounds really tricky the more I think about it! xD Good luck!

Hiya, this is a nice project - thanks for sharing. I was wondering about that 350lb force on the actuator. I really doubt it *would* crush a chicken, they are pretty quick reflexed animals, and would be scatty at anything, so I get this is not a 'risk'. But it got me thinking how might you create a 'anti-crush' switch, just in case, (being at a school) a kid was sill enough to 'play chicken' with the closing door.... I was thinking something like a micro switch, but of course the floor could have debris so this could have a false trigger. I considered a light gate, but chickens being messy, might get left open. One could possibly use a train gauge, to stop if the resistive force peaked before door was shut but perhaps a bit elaborate? Lastly, I did think it might be fun to have a 'chicken…

Hey Julien,I guess you're new to Instructables contests - no problemo =) The good news is there is a TinkerCAD prize - in addition - to all the other prizes that don't need to use TinkerCAD. Think of it as a bonus prize!!If you're wondering why I added a note to the judges, it's because I uploaded the Goats and Llama CAD using TinkerCAD, but I stressed that they were not modelled in it. It was done in ZBrush, but it's useful to have it in TinkerCAD as it this is optimal for people in Instructables. So I was just being clear...Just to reassure you - no foul play ;o)This is in the finals as it qualifies as a boardgame. Hope this helps! Enjoy!

Thanks! I always worry that the 'epic' guide will intimidate people and put them off, but it's because I write steps on the basics, that it's so long. I think if you're good in the workshop, you probably just need like 5 steps! But I also know what it's like to be a noob, and you need the granular detail or it looks messy. Looking forward to seeing others make it tho - but it's certainly a full weekend (or more like 2 part time) project!

Thanks so much! Hope it's just 'thorough' and not intimidating...I tried to document it so people who were new to prototyping had support, but the pros can skip over it. Let us know if you give it a go, and/or share with someone who would also enjoy it? =)
HUGE Credit goes to the amazing Mark Greenbaum, who did the VO and Edit. I shot the footage in my shed, on my iPhone and am amazed at how well it turned out. Glad KS went well with you, we certainly contemplated it, but honestly re-designed this to explore what 'Downloadable Physical Play' might mean to people. This is a really exciting experiment to see...let us know if you make one!
I don't think you'll regret it. I actually WON my first 3D printer on Instructables many years ago with a Solder Buddy project. I now also have a Ender 3, which for c.$200/£185 is honestly a bargain, and works so well. I've used my loads. Thanks for the kind comments!

Great guide. It's a small thing, but I love that you made the batteries visible. Great guide, and someone beat me to it to suggest glue on the burnt bits - but this is a small detail, and such a nice invention. My son's a bit older now, but would have loved this (I've also submitted a game for when you kid is older!! haha!). Will follow your future work! =D

- Hey Jude commented on Hey Jude's instructable Make a WiFi Camera Bird Box - Cheepy Cheap!View Instructable »
Hi again, so personally, I rather liked that this was battery powered, and hence was not possible to run 24/7. I am no expert on circadian rhythms of birds, but I think it'd be unkind to run at night, right? (You'd be annoyed!!). Haha!That said, I googled if Birds can see IR, and apparently not, so if you were keen to would convert to IR Camera (Raspberry Pi has this for example). Hope this helps...
- Hey Jude commented on Hey Jude's instructable Make a WiFi Camera Bird Box - Cheepy Cheap!
Hello - great that you're trying the project! I found that one of the key things here is not to have cats able to jump in to the 'flight path' of the approach to the Box. As for the WiFi setup, I have wondered if you could even use a solar panel, but I think it makes more sense to not run the device all the time, as the LEDs are quite warm over hours I suspect. The side window was bright enough for images, but in truth that one had not been nested in, so perhaps it's too 'weird' for them - but this is part of the fun of the experiment!
View Instructable »I found we can walk some distance away - like 10m easily. Our garden is not very large, so I can't say I've tested much more that that. But I saw this as a way to 'check in' on the birds rather than create a 24/7 setup. Hope this helps? =)

The 'correction' factor is an interesting one, I agree it depends on getting a nice globe. I got one from Amazon and it was way off, but for $10/£10 it's hard to expect perfection. To be fair I sent it back for a refund and got another an it was fine. I'd be inclined to perhaps 'centre' the 0,0 coordinate in such a way that it 'splits the different' of the general error of your globe. e.g. if things are a bit West-offset, centre with an East counter offset. If that makes sense?I'll certainly mention it in case it has an easy fix, but scaling the lookup table sounds tricky, as the distortion is also not constant. In an ideal world, you'd pick a 0,0 then say pick 10 major cities and calibrate on each of these, then the map would 'magically' interpolate between all of these. haha. I say that…

By chance was speaking with a friend in Wales, and quite a few sheep have only been recently sheared. So I guess it varies a lot by area and climate, and perhaps breed of sheep??
