10 Years of Raspberry Pi - Longest Serving Raspberry Pi Projects Competition

Let us know about your longest serving  Raspberry Pi projects! image

Have you created an amazing and awe-inspiring project using a Raspberry Pi that is still going strong?

Were you one of the first to purchase a Raspberry Pi from Farnell’s website in 2012 and that same board is still in operation?

Or does your school or coding club have an example the longest serving Raspberry Pi used in education?

To celebrate a decade-long partnership between Farnell and Raspberry Pi, we are looking for the top 10 applications which showcase examples of the longest serving Raspberry Pi.

All you have to do is share your story to be in with the chance of winning some fantastic prizes.

Use the space below to tell us about your Raspberry Pi application, including as much detail as possible about your project such as what you set out to achieve, how it was a success and – most important of all – when you built it.

The 10 best examples of 10 years of Raspberry Pi use will receive a major prize including 10 Raspberry Pi Picos and a Raspberry Pi NOIR 8MP Camera, to either keep for themselves or donate as they choose. For example, a winner may want to re-gift their prize to their local school to inspire the next generation of programmers.

Ten bundles of 10X Raspberry Pi Pico and Raspberry Pi NoIR Cameras are to be given away

Closing date for entries is Saturday, 30th April 2022. Terms & Conditions apply (see below) and the judges’ decision is final.

 

About Raspberry Pi

Raspberry Pi was launched with the aim of reversing the decline in applications to study Computer Science at Cambridge University by providing young people with a fun, robust, low-cost computer with which they could learn to program. In the decade since, Raspberry Pi has sold tens of millions of units around the world to help people to learn programming skills, build hardware projects, do home automation and even use them in industrial applications.

 

Ten winners will each receive 10 Raspberry Pi Picos and a Raspberry Pi NOIR 8MP Camera

Step 1: Log in or register on element14, it's easy and free.

Step 2: Post in the comments section below as much detail as possible regarding your project including what you set out to achieve, what inspired you, how it was a success and when you built it. Videos, pictures and text are all welcomed forms of submission. At least one photograph must be submitted as part of your entry to evidence your Raspberry Pi application in action.

And that’s it! Judges will review all entries submitted before the closing date of April 30, with the 10 winners announced in May. All winners must agree for their details to be used in promotional activity relating to the competition.

    Mine arrived too. The boards had the pins already soldered, actually very well, don't seem to be bent or anything else.

    I will start building something during this period, winter is coming and I won't have anything else to do.

    Thanks to Element14 Community.

    Good job everyone!

    I completely missed this until I got a notification that I'd been mentioned in the comments.

    Obviously I'm way too late to enter, but I thought I'd mention that my oldest serving Pi project is a 2B that has been running a slideshow since 2016 in a doctors' surgery where my wife works. That's 6 years of daily service without a hiccup! Not even a corrupted SD card from a bumpy shutdown. I did leave instructions on how to shutdown and how to update the slideshow, but I still expected the odd IT support call when they were ignored.

    I got it working, but not when the two were on the breadboard. When I did direct wiring, it started working (see):

    I received my prize package also, but am traveling so can't post any pics.  It is identical to what you received - thanks to e14phil and Element14.  Hope to do many more RPi projects in the future.  I wonder if they will embed sensors and create a Pico W Sense Relaxed.

    As from 2014 I have an RPi 2B running in my utility room as a server for various applications. The most important is de server side of a home automation energy monitor and thermostat function.

    The control is via a linux based scraan in my living.

    It cotrols my heating via a NorthQ/Horstmann Z-Wave thermostat and originally a NorthQ electricity and gas meter reader.

    As I now have a smart meter the RPi now directly reads the Smartmeter and converts its readings to the screen in the living.

    It also functions as an Internet radio client and sends the audio to my bathroom under web control of an old Galaxy S2.

    During Christmas time the 2B also controls my christmas train circling the Christmas tree.

    The oldest SW I could find dated back to august 2014 when the RPi changed from test phase to production phase.

    The software however did change to cope with changing environment and requirements.

    Back then we used fancy aluminum alloys for bats which sounded like that, now it is mostly carbon composites that sound completely different. I didn't do much audio processing, (that I recall) It used a directional mic that could be placed quite near the batter (on the backstop cage).
