Planning a telegram bot + home web server, possibly using the Bluetooth to combine with an android and make a self driving go kart, but that seems a bit ambitious, especially considering most of the GPU acceleration isnt supported with Raspberry Pi.

That sounds great.

For what do you need GPU-Accel?
There is plenty of software that benefits from it (e.g. FM-Transmitter, Omxplayer).

And keep in mind to update the software in one week or so. Recently there had been discovered Apache and Bluetooth exploits/bugs. To my knowledge they are not fixed yet.

The best in such projects is how much you learn during the development. I mean you obviously want it to work, but effort you give is more important.

@LinusCDE okay, I'll check that out. I'd need GPU acceleration if i wanted a self driving go kart for computer vision and image processing

@calmyourtities I guess OpenCL should work.

@LinusCDE i dont think raspberry pi supports opencl

@calmyourtities You seem right with that.
It is said that there is no point for Broadcom to add support.
So if you need the GPU you have to use classic GPGPU-Coding which seems a lot more work.

@calmyourtities really interested in the self driving go kart. I'm thinking of making a self driving RC car with my Pi. You think that's feasible? Any ideas?

@hacker yes, it sounds good, its been done where it follows a track, but if you could make a mini road it would be cool
