I really learned more good basics by playing with that. My problem is that I take so much time to do almost anything, and then I get distracted by my Raspberry Pi – I try to save and import my project into the stand-alone software on the Pi, and then try to fix my browser that keeps corrupting my profile…

If I make the controller again I would spray paint the bottoms of the cans different colors and use cloth for the cover of the box – not wrapping paper.
