One way would be to advertise ourself over StackExchange that possibly has some users interested in IoT. For example:
Raspberry Pi SE: as Raspberry Pi is a well-known device which can be used in wide variety of applications.
Arduino SE: as Arudino give a fast way of prototype making, so many re...
I've recently investigated the functioning of the Stack Overflow views counter because I wanted to implement something similar (which I did). My ramblings on the matter are here: Dissecting the Stack Overflow views counter
So, how that thing works? Quite simply, as I turned out to be.
Every que...
We've got a new statistic on the shiny new Profile Page Prototype. It's not perfect yet. And we did a pretty crap job of explaining what it's all about! Let's talk.
What you do here isn't just about solving one person's problem.
A while back, a user contacted us about his friend's account. His...
If I go to upvote those community ad answers on other sites where I don't have a meta account and I click 'join this site', the /openidconnect route 404s for some reason
I have noticed that we are getting a lot of questions like this one
Which really are CAD / Mech engineering questions. I will note this person needed several rewrites of his question. Though I am not sure asking for Hollywood 007 scifi computer automagic is focused enough for the group... we can...

In any case it's out of the queues. @bravokeyl, @Helmar, and @Ghanima voted to leave open, so unless three more people happen along that feel especially like closing it, I think it will stay there.
I recently asked this question to determine whether it is possible to get a count of the number of my upvotes that are on questions vs. answers (or at least a percentage).
I am proposing that under the vote tabs all, upvote, downvote, etc, there be another list of tabs that would split the votes...
@Aurora0001 On sites this small, me neither. It's when there are 10 answers that I notice.
But sometimes 6 are deleted answers. It doesn't really make any serious difference, it would just be so easy to implement that I thought I would suggest it all the same.
Several news sources such as Intellihub and CEPro seem to suggest that Amazon's Echo home assistant constantly listens to conversations and sends them via the Internet to Amazon's servers. CEPro states that:
By saying a key phrase Amazon calls a “wake word” the Echo comes to life and begins l...
So, I want to use this alexba.in/blog/2013/06/08/… to make my future Pi able to infrared command the shit out of tv and stuff and then use Alexa to order the Pi around
Yeah, easiest option. Buy Raspberry Pi, manually solder together an IR transceiver, manually decode the the IR codes and the write an Alexa skill to call up the Pi.
Your Alexa records your voice, sends it across the Internet, processes it on a server hundreds of miles away, sends a signal back to your Pi which fires an infrared ray which hits the TV receiver which decodes the signal and then changes the channel
