Congratulations to Instagram user DavoDD_ for being the first person to drive the Jigsolve robot through Twitch.

Special thanks to Twitch Developers Canary and BarryCarlyon for help with broadcasting software setup.

Apparently the solution is to stream the pi cam to the LAN, watch the feed with VLC, and then use OBS to screen scrape the image and send it to Twitch. The lag is awful – 2 seconds or more! – but it works. Maybe Twitch Dev or raspi experts can tell me how to shorten that delay. please please pretty please

Second challenge, the pump is not letting go just like my ex even though I run it in reverse. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong there, it’s probably a software mistake.
