I’ve had a few Raspberry Pi located around the office plugged into network switches, and I wanted to tidy them up, so this is how you network rack a Raspberry Pi i 1B+, RPi 2 or RPi3.

Project office busy light using a Raspberry Pi Zero W – so Andy does not walk in on a web conference in his pants!
Friday, June 12th, 2020My little project has been completed which I blogged about here
The Problem
Now that Lindsey and I and both working from home, and in two different offices, and spend most days on Zoom, Google Meet, Skype, WebEx etc in meetings with work colleagues or vendors it is difficult to tell if we are “BUSY” engaged in a meeting, and microphone and webcam are on!
also to stop me walking into Lindsey’s office, semi-naked just wearing my pants!
The Solution
A Raspberry Pi Zero W, which is a small wireless computer running Linux, with a LED display, which can be programmed with an Available (green), Busy (red), Away (yellow), Party (rainbow) mode status light!
Lindsey just says – “I could have used a post-it!” – but where is the fun in that!
Busy Status Light it’s Party Time, and it’s POETS day!
Parts required below

I’ve arrived home from work yesterday evening late, after changing yet another wheel on my car after a puncture! A nice treat after spending an hour changing a wheel/tyre!
