Turning on tiny lights by tiny computers O:

With great model-builds and lighting comes great responsibilities.
Or something like that, i’m not a spider myself…

I didn’t want to plug in and turn on my model kits everyday to admire their cute lights, so i automated it.
Using a Raspberry Pi Zero, 4xRelay-Board and USB-Ports, i can control four USB Power Connections with one single power-input.

Every Port gets its own Push-Button for manual controls. There is also a master-switch, which turns off every output channel.
Simple & dumb python-scripts get called by cron to turn on/off by time.
