Anyone who's been to GitHub before has no doubt come across the unforgettable Octocat mascot. Its pointy ears and friendly smile accompany a wide library of code shared by thousands of people over the years. Today we've got an adorable Raspberry Pi project to share created by the Infineon Team who's using a Pi to bring the GitHub Octocat mascot to life.
Most of the time when we describe a project as "bringing something to life," we're referring to a sort of robotics. Today is no exception, but there's a delightful twist that makes the creation notably interesting. The team is using pneumatics to make silicone tentacles flap on command. The Pi is able to address each tentacle using Infineon's new DC Motor Control HAT.
