I would be interested in making a project using the PiRack.

I am new to the RPi world as I only just recently got mine. I've been reading and working pretty much full time on it though. My intent is to replace my existing web site with one that runs on the RPi.

So far I've built a case from an old power supply to host the RPi, a 100GB 2.5" Sata HDD and a powered USB hub.

I'm working on a new structure that will mount onto a VESA bracket to attach directly to the back of an LCD panel.

I'd like to use the PiRack to mount all the add-on boards that I have ordered for my project which will ultimately combine 2 or 3 RPis. I've got a couple of prototype expansion boards, RTC, RTC with thermometer, Power pack, power pack charging module, a 16x2 LCD panel, a 16x2 LCD panel with buttons and a 20x2 LCD panel. The goal is to mount as much as possible to give lots of status information on the LCD panels and run a LAMP web site headless.In addition I'd like to mount 4 x USB Voltage/Amp meters to monitor power drain by the various components.

Hello sir ,

I am currently doing a robot with face detection ,voice recognition ,which combines both arduino mega and raspberrypi . This robot will be a humanoid robot which will be connected lot of sensors and actuators .

So if you can help by providing me the PiRack board ,I think it will be a lot easier to complete my bot and join the challenge .

I just completed a Raspberry Pi project. It is a web-accessible controller for a cat feeder. A Raspberry Pi hosts a python-powered web site that displays information on the number of treats given in the last 24 hours and the last treat time. The software uses the Pi camera and a motion detect algorithm to take photos when the cat is moving in the frame. The HTML served by the web site does AJAX calls back to the web server to get updated stats and to check for a new camera image. A button on the web page allows you to dispense a cat treat, enable/disable the motion capture, and manually trigger a photo. In addition, there is an LCD and a button in the control box that lets you see the treat information and trigger a dispense cycle locally. Here is a two-part video showing the project:

I just built BerryCam which integrates the Camera module with smartphones and tablets through an easy to use UI

easily allows users to play with the various filters built into the camera as well as capture settings (WB,exposure and so on)

initially released for iOS the Android version will be following soon.

We have successfully deployed Digital Signage with built-in GPRS/GPS in City Buses based on Intel ATOM Platform. Now after running through the short comings of the platform for three years, we plan to develop phase 2 of the system. Raspberry Pi with all the accssories avalible and more over capability of running HD videos at low power makes for a perfect match. Development is based on python, hope to florish details at the earliest.

Hi, I would use Rasperry PI and Arduino Kits to Promote Technology via teaching Python Programming, Robotics , Making, buliding DIY things to elementary and middle school children in my neighbourhood.

Hi,

I am buidling a wireless, interactive projector. Images. videos and other data content can be transmitted to a projector wirelessly from a laptop located remotely.

I'm planning on building a cool Augmented reality controlled Robot. The PiRack would allow me to use the camera module along with the other hardware control boards allowing me to get complete package to build my Bot!

hello,

i am writing code to have the raspberry pi use the blue tooth smartcords from adafruit. so i can text or email and have the raspberry pie turn off all electrionics in the house. im thinking of having it set up timers too so i can have the pie be my clock and give alarm @ wakeup time and turn power back on.

i have a few challanges for me (since i have never used a developement board, never used python or bluetooth, or transmissions of text or email) i have slight programming knowlege about 4 weeks of college courses.

did i happen to mention i dont have a raspberry pi yet, its post to be here on the 16th, lol.

i decided to try this for my first sample project since theres a MAST fortune of information on bluetooth text and timers, as well as save me time when im late for work and dont have time.

QUESTION: what are some useful projects out there that would help me learn electrical engineering. i dont make enough for going to college. i want to obsorb as much as possible for some sort of job in this field of study.

Thanks

I'm building a system where in which a GSM sim card is used with a GSM module to output ASCII text of any SMS messages that come in and are printed to a small compact thermal printer

I hope to release the code as open source, its for a project for one of my qualifications and needs to be fairly advanced

Thanks

I recently bought a wide variety of sensors (thermometers, humidity sensor, barometer, accelerometer, magnetometer, gyroscope, light sensors) from Newark that I plan to build into a data collecting platform to be mounted in a capsule that will be sent into near-space via helium-filled weather balloon. It will be loaded with GPS and RF antennas to track the mission with live telemetry and to aid in recovery of the capsule. I will also have Raspberry Pi cameras onboard to document the journey, and I will use all this sensor and location data to reconstruct the flight path in 3D (with Google Earth) and show the correlation between these measurements in the context of a near-space flight. Having a PiRack would be really useful because these sensors all use I/O ports on the GPIO header, and the wiring would become really crowded without being able to break out the GPIO into multiple expansion ports.

Hello,Sir,

I am writing a book about the arduino+raspberrypi, the chinese name is "你也可以玩arduino+raspberrypi",which will be pulished by Tsinghua University Press.

If you can help by providing me the PiRack board , this book will mention and market the PiRack and the other accessories.

Thanks a lot!

Best Regards,

David.Wang

I'm building a customised video intercom system for the guys at work so that the guys in the workshop can get in touch with the guys in the warehouse without having to track them down all the time - with camera, call buttons, and lights and buzzers to grab their attention.

I'm building an automatic gate operator entirely from open source hardware. When I arrive near my home based on the car's GPS position, the Raspberry Pi activates the open logic without pressing any button. Question is how to open it from inside when leaving, but I think simply by turning the ignition the gate opens since I'm to go.

The Arduino Robot I'd use to teach electronics to my kids through playing with it.

Thanks,

Tamas

I think it would be fun to build a robotic test platform for the projects I work on.
