What's Your Pi Plan??

Former Member
Former Member over 13 years ago

Hi!

 

Just curious about what people were planning on using their Raspberry Pi's for once they started getting them!??

 

Current plan- SFF Media PC / NAS etc mounted onto the VESA on the back of my TV

 

Later plan- Replace car stereo etc with RPi

 

Probably not the most origional use there but still, godda start somewhere!

    I developed a GPS board addon for the RPi

     

    Added some bluetooth, some external SRAM, high power LEDs, temperature sensor and ports for I2C for other sensors

    Wow! I love the GPS addon. what are you using? Sirf? I'd only considered using it for weather etc. More info on your solution would be gratefully received. Reckon I could develop a fuel sensor to give data alongside the GPS and feed it through NMEA2000 to a data screen

    The bluetooth would eventually talk to other devices I'm building such as a CAN enable MCU that talks to the car, maybe some distance sensors, or maybe a bluetooth powered remote ignition. Im also considering a GPRS solution for remote access but that is still being planned

    I'm making a Pisatellite with mine, first though I'll have to make a PiRocket to get it up there.

     

    You will need this to work with your planned PiGPS units.

     

    Although eventually it may well become a PiShelfspaceUnit image

     

    Starting out as an XBMC media player thingy I think I'll dig out some of the interface boards I have in the cellar

    and control the world or perhaps just a few LED's.

     

    If I was allowed to put an LED message board in the back of the car to tell people to check their back lights, get off my backside

    or pull over and take the bus then that may be a good project for it.
