Got some new toys today! A Raspberry Pi 3 and a Arduino starter pack. Any suggestions on what I should do with it?

Server. Pihole. Media center. Home automation. Image recognition. Rc car spy car with picam with arduino having batteries. Etc. Others lemme know in comments

Most people go for Kodi on the Pi, but I would suggest that you teach yourself some embedded Linux and write a simple driver for the GPIO; my first project was an I2C master driver for the Pi which I then used to talk to an IO Expander connected to a 16x2 character LCD. The world's your oyster!

More like what can't you do with it.

Looking back, most starter packs for Arduino are ripoffs unless it comes it a project guide

@SpencerBeige there is a thick book included, explaining how everything works and how you're supposed to put everything together.

@olback ah, that's pretty cool. What all did it come with?

I made an Arduino bluetooth controlled door lock and it's badass. You can also try RFID or a keypad to type in a password, which the kit probably comes with a keypad

@SpencerBeige Image quality is probably sheit and I guess the Swedish on the box doesn't help 😂

@skyrip12 sounds really cool! 😎

@olback Wait they gave you a neopixels ring? NICE! those things are really cool. But, I hope it included some kinda soldering pen...you will need one for it.

@SpencerBeige Aah! That I already have :)

Send it to me, as a gift ;) And I will build my own Google glass

Look at how pretty it is, daydream about some awesome system then throw it in a drawer.

A camera for your bedroom, if you obsessed to security

Make a bitcoin miner 😆

Throw it away and get some real PLCs and do some serious hardware.

Why'd you buy it if you didn't have a plan on what to do with it?

In any case, I built a web server that responds to any request with a NMap scan followed by exploitation analysis followed by exploitation if available. Because fuck these probing servers from china

Put it on your pets and stream cat telemetry over MQTT

Pick any electrical device lying around you and dissect it rewire it and program it through your Raspberry Pi 3
