Let's Get Portable!

Pi in the Sun is our summer mission to bring you more Raspberry Pi Projects that can enhance your summer. To meet this goal, we need more portable Pi projects for you to take along on your summer plans.

 

To give you a great reason to help us, we're making 10 Raspberry Pi Starter KitsRaspberry Pi Starter Kits and 10 Battery Packs available to 10 yet to be determined lucky Community members who have existing projects that would be more summertime friendly if they were portable.

 

What you have to do:

  1. Add a comment to this blog that includes a link to your existing Raspberry Pi Project (either on the element14.com  community or anywhere on the world wide web)
  2. Tell us why your project would be better if it were portable.

 

HINTS:

  • We like photos and videos and details so special preference will be given to those entries that have detail and a compelling reason for going portable.
  • Think Pi projects that support activity. (Moving a joystick on your gaming console DOES NOT count as active.)

 

We’ll take submissions through midnight, Monday 7-July Central time.  Good luck!

 

BONUS: FREE RASPBERRY PI FOOTBALLS (Or soccer balls, depending on where you're from)

  • Like getting free stuff?  You might be interested in a Rasperry Pi football

Please NOTE:

By submitting an entry you will automatically start receiving notifications of other responses to this post. If you do not wish to receive notifications, select "Unfollow" at the top right of the post.

 

If you have any questions, please let us know in our Feedback & Support area.

    I want a portable Robot (Educational Platform) with voice control and open source. That's why I want Wolfson Audio + Rapiro the two were made for each other. My entry starts with http://www.raspians.com…

    I wondered why it was going up so fast... must be the shark based interest compounded over the inverse proportional exponential growth of my posts or something... now I know

    I would like to use the RPi as an portable electronic housekeeper.

    I want a portable Robot (Educational Platform) with voice control and open source. That's why I want Wolfson Audio + Rapiro the two were made for each other. My entry starts with http://www.raspians.com/wolfson-jasper/ and will go on from there. Let's not focus on the Engineers of today lets focus on the Engineers of Tomorrow that's where our true future lies. Yes if those that know now can teach those that will proceed them. Then the world will truly be a better place.

     

    It would be based on this starting point I posted:

     

    https://github.com/emre/storm

     

    Along with

     

    Jasper Wolfson short demo

     

    And this post helps to make it possible connecting the Pi to Rapiro with the pinouts shown in this post by fvan IoT Alarm Clock - Part 1

    In these DIY Google Glass style enhanced reality goggles, portability is the most important part as they have to be wearable as well as functional. This portable starter kit would be great as it is minimised allowing the visual impact  (and weight) to be reduced allowing these to be more wearable and user friendly. This currently involves a Raspberry Pi controlling displays wirelessly with voice recognition to control the display. This is the result of combining the Internet of Things with wearable tech. Plus we have (and are managing to stick to!) a budget of £100.

    If you are interested in this, heading over to the link and giving us a vote would be amazing.
