I am working on a Raspberry Pi Smartphone using a Pi Camera, cellular module and 3.5in touch screen along with a lithium ion battery charging circuit.

I am working on making a MIDI/Effects Modulator and an instrumental track looper out of Rpis

I am making a electric scooter, ALL running off of a raspberry pi (my endtime goal making the build hence "modular"), and a surprisingly light Emergency-Computer-Power-Backup. (that is a quote from the label, Good luck saying that 10 times, Salesman) Surprisingly the brake servos and the throttle were the hardest to get reliable, but working, sorta, i will go about a mile, then the LCD gives you the battery low symbol. but managed to ride it to the taco shop and back fine! Next project, run a 3 monitor (yes THREE) monitor setup (thinking of http://j.mp/16usbmon for the monitor)

Currently working on a coding club at my school to get children into coding and interesting in the whole coding world

I'm working on a portable, easy to use Outside Broadcasting box for the radio station I'm involved with.

Two Raspberries housed in this aluminium case:

The case will connect to our studio, or directly to our transmitter sites, via a VPN connection over Ethernet, WiFi or 3G/4G mobile data network.

I'll also give it Bluetooth, in order to be able to take listener's phone calls, using a cell phone.

I have started a task of developing surveillance camera that can monitor small computer lab.

Main aim is to highlight certain camera system that mimic camera motion in all direction as if it is watching every corner of lab.

As here I observed student misbehave with computers & other equipment the rotating camera will scare such students.

Planning to include some LED's (Red, Green)

Which switch over by detecting person's motion.

Need to find appropriate CCTV case which can carry pi-camera and other accessories.

****future intention to really implement some motion base Codding & recording

-play some recorded warning & instruction on speakers at appropriate time***

It seems there are a lot of soccer fans here. [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-6de39756-33e7-43f0-9519-5f5acd1b2e93/8080.contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

I am 14 and from London. I've done many different things with the Raspberry Pi.

I have done multiple timelapses: Raspberry Pi Timelapses - YouTube

I have made a light chasing robot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pwl8lOTAC8

I have built a line follower and am working with 4tronix on a robot kit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKsmTuD_n3w

I am in the process of a year long timelapse: https://twitter.com/RaspberryPiTime

I am working on an add-on board kit as a Piano: http://t.co/V5YeKTwPaH

I plan to build a raspberry pi self balancer in python with the Pi using an RTK000001 and an MPU6050, and so I'm currently learning about PID controller systems.

I would really live this football as I love pi so much! Thanks [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-6de39756-33e7-43f0-9519-5f5acd1b2e93/2273.contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

My 7 year old son and I are working on a robot that will sense where obstacles are, and try to avoid them. We hope to also have it to be able to go from 2 inch ground clearance to 1/8 of an inch to be able to go in tight crawl space under house or ceiling attic spaces, to use in electrical or even search and rescue.

Cool,

With this tiny computer I'm working on the fallowing things:

- Raspberry pi laptop on a Motorola Lapdock

- Learning security over kali linux OS for Raspberry Pi (specially wireless)

- I'm also interested in a bridge between Raspberry Pi and Arduino, but I'm just starting to learn Arduino...

Go soccer world CUP!

I am currently working on adding a raspberry pi to my combat robot.

Battery Monitor: The Raspberry Pi will read the print out from a battery level monitor circuit and then will send the percentage to my laptop over a wireless internet connection. Using this ''Uh-oh'' Battery Charge Level Sensor - RobotShop I will change out the led with a low voltage relay. When the relay is closed it will let power through which I will have attached to the gpio and act as a switch.

Motor Control: Using a homemade H bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia using MOSFET's (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) to control the motor systems over a wireless internet connection.

FPV: I am going to use the Pi camera module as a First-person view (radio control) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia system, which will allow me to pilot my robot in battle much easier because I can see the opposing bot from my robots point of view.

Control Program: With all this information being sent back to me, I will need meself a good interpreter. Python and C++ is what I want to use. It will be able to read potentiometers from a joystick and then convert it to pwm with the MOSFET's to control the motors and direction of travel. It will also give me the view of the camera on the middle of the screen. The battery level indicator will simply turn on a red light on screen that says battery.

Overall my project will be very difficult and I feel as though earning a raspberry pi football for my idea would be a great reward.

My robots name is Warp Drive if anyone cares.

a football playing robot of course, and I still need a ball.

I'm thinking of the RaspBerry Pi as an houesekeeper kombinend with an roboter platform. Favorite is an track vehicle, controlled bei an Arduino.

Hello!

I am working on project “Entertaining robotics” which is aimed to popularization of robotics among young people in Russia.

“Raspberry Pi: first contact” is one of the main directions in our project. We provide text and video instructions for people who never before deal with Raspberry Pi. This platform is not popular in Russia and there is not enough learning materials in Russian language. We try to fill this gap. Now we have 3 lessons and we plan to make 10-12 lessons more this summer.

You can see posts devoted to Raspberry Pi here.

For example first, second and third lessons. It is about very first steps in Raspberry Pi.

All video are avaliable on youtube.

For example video from the first lesson:
