Raspberry Pi: The coolest projects
The Raspberry Pi is probably the smallest computer in the world. Cool projects can also be carried out with the mini-computer. We have summarized the coolest projects in this practical tip.
1. Raspberry Pi project: OpenELEC
- OpenELEC is a small and compact Linux operating system that runs easily on the Raspberry Pi.
- So you can get the Xbox Media Center on your mini-PC and manage and stream all media files - to download OpenELEC
2. Raspberry Pi project: NOOBS
- In this form NOOBS stands for "New out of the Box Software" and in no way means an insult.
- Rather, it can be used to install a small but fine operating system on your Raspberry Pi - click here to download
3. Raspberry Pi project: PIPHONE
- No more with iPhone or Android - with the Raspberry Pi you can build your own smartphone.
- For this you need some cheap parts and a lot of tact.
- You can find more information in this article.
4. Raspberry Pi project: Vertical printer
- Using self-written software, the Raspberry Pi can also control two motors and thus guide a print head.
- Quickly attach two more ropes and your own printer is ready - consisting of the Raspberry Pi and a little software tinkering.
- You can see what that looks like on adafruit.com.
5. Raspberry Pi project: protection against burglaries
- The Raspberry circuit connected to light switches on the house, so that light can be switched on and off alternately.
- The perfect programming can ensure that different lights are controlled in different rooms.
- From the outside, this looks like someone is at home. This will deter burglars.
- This idea was developed by a school class.
6. Raspberry Pi project: automatic feeding
- Do you always want to feed your pets at the same time? No problem with the Raspberry Pi!
- Simply use this circuit, which always opens a flap at a certain time.
7. Raspberry Pi project: AirPi
- Another student project is AirPi: The Raspberry Pi is equipped with various sensors and software and is placed in a location outside.
- Using the software, the mini-computer can then predict the weather and evaluate the quality of the air.
- The pollutant content in the air can also be measured as a result - further information.
In the next practical tip, we'll show you how you can use the Raspberry Pi as a game console.
