BrickPi Book Paper Reader

Since we wanted to use the Raspberry Pi Camera, the whole BrickPi setup had to be placed a bit high to get a good picture of the page. The structure that we ended up with looked a bit like a lean AT-AT from Star Wars.

It’s a bit tricky to set up the motors at the bottom. The motor with the rotating arm has to be set in a way that it only goes an inch inside the book so that it can get a soft grip on the page.
