What cool projects have you done with a raspberry pi ? 😋

*graps popcorn*

I'm willing to get one after I finish this summer semester, have no time now :/

Pihole

@rhl2401 Seems good 😍

I use mine as a media center!

@khunnaball I tried that. openElec is awesome !

@rhl2401 Does it effect internet speed? I have a 2Mbits line and I can't afford losing speed :/

Else you can buy a relay and build a smart home controllable from a website or app on you phone (and of course also create automatic jobs to turn on a lamp or anything at a specific time).
This project is using the GPIO pins.

I have made a smart home myself with a RPi which also runs PiHole along the smart home system.

@gitpush hmm. Maybe a little. I have not experienced anything. You need to make all requests through the RPi which means that it is one more step from the server to you computer.

The route is:
Server -> Router -> RPi -> Your devices
(There is of course multiply steps but this is roughly the route).

@rhl2401 There is no harm trying, thanks man

Novelty paperweight.

I've also made a clock+weather display, but that's been replaced by my smartwatch.

I am currently building a rc car controlled via the internet. You can see a live video from the car's perspective and you can control it with any browser. The rpi is attached to the car.

I'm installing Pihole...

One for Plex Home Theatre and one in my magic mirror 😁

For the people wondering if pihole slows down your internet, no it does not. It's just a DNS server. It would probably just make your internet faster since it blocks the ads on a DNS level.

Edit:
@rhl2401 @gitpush

Server

Just installed and configured Pihole, It's AWESOME !

I'm thinking of getting a RPI primarily as a dynamic DNS updater, but would be a waste to just use it for that so I'd possibly make it a media centre. So this rant is great for me to pick up ideas :)

@axelbr that's pretty awesome.
If you need someone to test it from another county to test the delay or something, I'm willing to try it out for you.
Will this be a public access or private thing?

I'm using one as a VPN server and I made a RetroPie out of another. I definitely recommend the RetroPie if you're into retro gaming at all, but some emulators like N64 are a bit buggy.

@gitpush Same here

@bthrsmynmbr life is tough but something better than nothing 😀

@olback thanks bro much appreciated 😀

Rendered a simple 3D scene using Aqsis opensource renderer. This was done on the first generation Pi.

@Charmesal
You can login with username/pw and manage your cars. I can contact you if it is usable!

@axelbr manage your cars in which way? (It sounds pretty interesting)

@axelbr Sounds awesome. Sure it me up if when you need me. Happy to help.

To track whether ISS is passing over the town I live in and how close (as in latitude and longitude translated to kilometres) it is to that town

Google Home like device using the Google Assistant SDK

I have a WiFi hotspot that routes can be routed through a VPN. Otherwise, it's used as a little NAS (with a HDD on it), it's used for PiHole und has RetroPi installed.

I modified the PiHole Webinterface a bit so I could change the VPN on a web page.

All that on a single pi. :P

I currently have a RPi at home that I use to control energy sockets via radio frequencies to turn on/off lamps in my apartment using HomeKit for iOS :)

I have also made the typical retro pi to play old console games, I have used it at as web server and as an owncloud server.

I love RPi 😍

@1n9i9c7om I have thought of connecting a HDD to mine for a while. How does you setup look like?

@rhl2401
Register your car, name it, upload an image, view stats, etc.
Until now I implemented the steering/accelerating on the car side and the login/registering. A big problem i am facing right now is to find a way for finding the car because it should use mobile internet which makes finding it by IP-Adress impossible. I am looking for a p2p-technology to solve this issue.

AlexaPi , ChromeCast , Wifi Router, Line Follower, Drone(45cm)

Currently used for wifi bruteforce.

Got a raspberry Pi 3 and an adafruit nfc antenna and now i can read and write in a nfc tag (i did the programming part in Python v2 cuz of the adafruit lib)

@axelbr couldn't the car connect to the server using sockets instead of the server looking for "wild" cars. This way you can build a list/array with all available cars and just add one to it when it connects.

automated my house, coffee machine (it selected coffees in an order connected to weather), lights, alarm, central heat boiler (software cut my heating bill in half), computer and some stuff like that. all you need is: gpio, raspberry pi 3 and some python experience.

@Charmesal
Thats the point. I would prefer that the server only handles connecting to cars, etc. The communication between client and car should happen directly. The reason for this archtitectural choice is the time delay of the videostream and the load which would sum up if multiple videostreams would run through the server.

For pi-hole, and running scripts I don't want to run on my main box

personal homepage
Python Email spambot
Nodejs smarthome
Php smarthome system
Radio station
alexa voice service
Server for java chat application

Wireless Music Streamer (with Wi-Fi and UPnP) http://anudit.in/2017-01-30-your-ow...

Quite a lot. Webserver (nginx + node)
Pihole
Tor hidden service
And as a digital picture frame.

All on the same rpi3 + screen

My biggest project...? Setting it up with Raspian and having a quick hack on mine craft pi. Then not knowing where to go from there 😶

I have Raspberry Pi 3 that runs Seafile. I found a data center that offers free Raspberry Pi colocation because they like the Raspberry project, which means that I pay nothing for an encrypted (if you use the Seafile clients the files will be encrypted on client side, if you use your browser the encryption is done on the server) cloud storage.

By the way, the file sync of Seafile is a lot faster compared to Owncloud (and probably Nextcloud, which I haven't tested so far).

Use the io pins to control led lights via webserver on the pi. So we could set the color from anywhere via web interface. Required aditional power just fyi

VPN Server using OpenVPN, 4 disk NAS, network monitoring with Icinga2, wireless AP, timelapse camera, RDP thinclient, portable wireless NAS...

Home Assistant (https://home-assistant.io)

I used to have a Gitlab server on it and later Kodi media center.
