A local epub eBook server for my xteink

As I wrote before, recently I got myself a XTEINK X4, even the blogpost is not that old I got it a little more than a week ago.

Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: Almost exactly 2 years with my Samsung Hauzen vacuum. What I like versus Roomba/RBot: semi-intelligent room mapping via camera, instead of random cleaning. Works inconsistently, not in the dark.

Used an old USB webcam and C# to build a motion detector that only reacts to a green laser. I bought some cheap servos to make a tilt/shift setup with a red laser that follows the green one. Video demo included. ...
