I'm trying to scratch an itch with the Raspberry Pi. Beyond trying to think of using it for some leisure browsing, I just cannot think of what I can use it for.
Can you folks let me know if you own a Raspberry Pi and what do you use it for?
- Jukebox for a special kid.
mpd, mpc and upmpdcli were a real breeze to use and configure.
- Had a couple providing sensor data on agricultural hobbies
- Had one set up with Octopi and then another in my command center just feeding diagnostics and stuff from the octopi
- Have deployed one-offs to identify nocturnal garden invaders (ie, motion sensor + night cam)
I want to make a synth with one but I haven't gotten around to it
At first, I wanted to connect the terminal (on the upper floor) to my desktop (in the basement) by patching the server's RS-232 to the terminal through the in-wall Cat5e. Then I figured it'd be better to just throw FreeBSD on the Pi and connect the terminal to it, since I could ssh to the desktop with Ethernet instead, which is a more effective use of the two Cat5e runs, since I'd also be able to connect a VoIP phone next to the terminal.
That will relieve my main computer of having to do those things from then on.
