Title: I just got a Raspberry Pi...
Post by: Bu🤠ns on February 22, 2013, 05:56:41 AM
...now what should I do with it???   :evil:

Also: I grabbed an Adafruit cobbler breakout board as well so once I solder it, I'll have access to the GPIO pins.

XBMC

duh. I thought everybody knew that.

were you wanting to do a physical computing type project, or just a small form factor electronics box like the xbmc thing?

Ultimately, I wanted to get a better understanding of electronics and programming.  But I don't want to not try other physical computing stuff either.

I have xbmc on 5 computers/consoles/laptops at home already so that's already been done

I'd really like to see if i can do some sort of home automation "Jarvis" kinda thing.  Someone in IRC mentioned that emacs did a voice recognition thing...but that's emacs...and i'm not opposed to learning it...buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut....

yeah. i'd love to do some voice recognition stuff for home automation.  i currently know very little about programming (aced my C class in university 7 years ago, but that's about it)
So, i've got the bug too.  maybe we could compare notes as we go along?
I also wanted to dig into the ROS stuff and the OpenCV.  that seems pretty interesting.
RasPi doesn't have a lead time anymore, does it?

Beer to the pi to the ice to the cream.
Now differentiate it and DANCE.

I've been looking at those things for computer vision stuff, but I am doubtful that it has enough power for that. I'll probably go with a low-end MicroATX/x86 processor.

are you going to mess with the OpenCV stuff?  i received a 360 with kinect for christmas, and i want to mess around with it...

SimpleCV for Python, which is really just a Python interface for OpenCV

Nice. Following the first rule of designing electronics: Put an LED on it. A Board could be doing everything it's designed to and the customer still wont be happy unless they can actually see that it's working.

Bump. (http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/nov/04/raspberry-pi-monitor-hdmipi-kickstarter)

edited to add: I'm probably going to be wading into Linux with one of these Raspberry Pi's and the above monitor in the near future.

I've been meaning to put an RPi into an original GameBoy case, so I can put a pentesting toolkit on a GameBoy.
