Married, kids all left home now.. 1x retired guide dog (retriever/GSD cross), 1x basset hound, 2x guinea pigs, Principal Engineer in Intelligent Transport Systems, Volunteer Blood Biker, my wife would say too many motorcycles, I'd say not enough...
I now have a lot more Raspberry Pi's than bikes, and trying to understand python...
Stumbled on BYC, as I'm investigating code to automate coop doors with Raspberry Pi - and there's a good few sources of info and experiences on here, not to mention a wealth of Chuck ownership experience!
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
