Live stream to http://twitch.tv/adafruit showing part 1 of a multi-part build to make a Cat laser toy controlled by the internet. This video looks at a previous version of the project that is the inspiration and outlines how it will be improved in this series. In addition the hardware components of the laser toy are connected to the Pi and tested.
