So I've got this raspberry pi 3 and no inspiration what to use it for.. and it bugs me, just sitting there taunting me: -"you aren't very creative are you?" So.. ideas and suggestions?

Alexa pi :) works great

use the pifm library (which uses gpio pins switching to radiate radio waves!) for something cool, like jammin drive thru headsets while ordering at McUKnowWhere.. RadioTrolling durring lunchbreak? lol

Run your own server with open-source cloud software or your own development projects

Lights. Smart home. That's what I would use it for.

I asked the same thing

@kdev although that is illegal (in the UK, most of Europe and the USA at least).

Kodi media center!

I used mine with a spibox case and noir camera for a mini camera to see my door, was also going to set one up to notify my when my laundry was done but don't have the time or resources. I would suggest browsing hackaday and seeing if any of those projects interest you!

Webserver

NAS?

@DeadBladeLord been trying to figure this out for my pi. I want to set up a huge sata Nas for my home, but it is proving challenging

Skynet.

seedbox for open source softwares

Turn a quadcopter into a pet!
Add facial recognition, mapping, and a squirtgun.
Could also relay voice commands to a server so it obeys ^^

I really try to build a little robot. I'm Running ros on the pi.

Build a drone

Pik3a!

@niche Well, Let's see if I can help you out. What are you stuck with?

@DeadBladeLord not stuck with anything yet except about four four terabyte hdds. My initial plan was to find some kind of sata expansion board for five 8tb wd reds on an rpi 3 but have had no luck

@retnikt
maybe jamming.but theres plenty if other fun pifm possibilities , and if you have a amature radio license (as I do) it possible to keep it "legal". But keep in mind most things that are fun in life are "illegal" and what is "illegal" today may not be tommorow.

Install retropie and use it to play old games emulated. That's what I'm currently using mine for.
