A short story from one of our members...

"Welp, what do you do when your food filament dehydrator stops working? Well, of course you slap a Raspberry Pi in it, isn't that what every sane person would do?
Jokes aside the logic board for my dehydrator gave up the ghost, so with the help of other members we wired a heater and fan to a Raspberry Pi Zero, did some magic in Python and built a webUI to control it. Right now this thing has:
