  1. Fantastic! I love that you’ve thought outside the box and built your own thing 👏.

    As discussed, you could add a second slider control and a second servo motor (and a third!) to be able to remote control some kind of robotic arm. Check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCYJAyIXBdA for an interesting and very low-tech way of building a robotic arm from components you already have. That project uses four servo motors, so you may not have the full range of movement, but see how far you can get!

    Another cool thing you could do is to create three sliders that control Red, Green and Blue, and then set the sidebar LEDs and/or your LED strip using the block that lets you set Red, Green and Blue by numbers (ranging from 0 to 255). You could make a funky mood light for the bedroom, or just, you know, impress random people that you see 😁
