If you're tired of being disturbed when you're on a Zoom call, then how about building your own custom "Video-call Interruptibility Status Indicator" (VISI) to let people know when you are busy - and here's exactly how to do it.
My new custom 3D-printed case houses a Raspberry Pi Pico, Waveshare LCD1602 back-lit text display and Monk Makes 'Squid' RGB LED with buttons to switch between 'do not disturb' to 'free to chat', or somewhere in between.
Following up on all the learnings from my prototypes ( • Video-call Interruptib... ) this video doesn't go into the details of how I developed the MicroPython code or the precise design of my my case - these can all be found, ready to use, on my new website: paterpracticus.com - just the build itself
Files can also be downloaded directly from the GitHub at:
github.com/PaterPracticus/Vid...
Obviously, you'll need a 3D printer for the case, but all the .stl files are available to download - I'm particularly pleased with my embedded nut assembly which you can see in action at 7:16.
