Ask HN: Fun DIY projects to do with a month free?
For the next month, I have essentially nothing to do, and I was interested in working on a project, preferably one that ties together engineering and coding. I'm a competent coder, but only have a little electronics or engineering experience. There's a hard limit of $350 for the project, though the cheaper the better.
I was thinking of building and coding a magic mirror[1], but I'd love to hear any suggestions you have!

- kleer001 11y agoIt's obviously a very personal decision. But I would point you in the direction of problems that need solving that aren't obviously tied to coding or engineering. Maybe a few hours spelunking through the half bakery would yield some treasures that get your creative juices flowing. http://www.halfbakery.com/ http://www.halfbakery.com/
