Raspberry Pi Dune Weaver table draws images in sand using magnets

Raspberry Pi.

If you're looking to add a luxurious piece of furniture to your house, why not build it yourself? That seems to be what maker and developer Tuan Nguyen has done with this incredible Raspberry Pi-powered sand-drawing table he calls 'Dune Weaver Pro'. Using our favorite SBC, this table automatically draws pictures in sand either on a schedule or on demand using a custom app.

The table is a coffee table that measures in at 29.5 x 19in but while that's somewhat small for a table, it's huge for a sand-drawing machine. It's built using an existing table that's been fitting with a Raspberry Pi, a motor, a magnet, and housing for the sand so that a metal ball can be moved about the bottom to draw the images.
