What Raspberry Pi accessory doesn't exist yet that you want/need?

nlarson

While there are many Raspberry Pi accessories available today, are there any that you think should exist that don't?  Please share your idea below!

  • composite video INPUT board!

    This would be useful as a mini editor or effects processor in an educational environment, or projects such as a video server or security camera/baby monitor server for devices other than the camera board now available.

     

    Currently the only solution is the Easycap USB dongle, which is plagued by non-working counterfeits on the market, driver problems on the RPi and slugging video through USB causing a bottleneck. Creating a video in module that sends data in like the camera board would resolve all of these problems, and allow a slew of new applications!

     

    Though it may feel like composite is an old technology, it will be used for many years to come, because of allowing long cable lengths and many low cost accessories being on the market.
