what to do with a raspberry ?

>>1078514
oh and it have internet wire port too

>>1078514

oh look its another "I GOT THIS ___________________ WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH IT" thread

stick it up your ass. fucking morons with this shit

>>1078517
wtf dude i asked for advice and you insult me

>>1078521

you must be new here. every day there is a thread or 2 asking what to do with this piece of shit device. usually to the point where all yuo will get is trolling and no actual advice. MY advice is throw it in the trash because you obviously have no skills or knowledge to use it for anything other than a paper weight.

>>1078525
then teach me skill to do something with it
isn't that the point of the board?

you guys are rude

>>1078528

the point of this board is to /diy/ stuff. RPI boards are not /diy/ and due to the amount of idiots such as yourself who come here asking what to do with them, you will most likely not get anything other than trolling.

>>1078514
These threads are generally looked down upon.
My best advice?

Throw it into a drawer and wait. One day youll say "i would like to do ___" and it will pertain to your Pi.

I use one as a motion sensor camera, and I use my other one as a host for my 3d printer.
Dont do something dumb and worthless with it just because its laying around. They can be usefull

>>1078514
> What can i do with this material ?

Not much. It's slow for anything requiring network I/O (ethernet chip is connected via USB internally), clumsy to install (you'll have to dd readymade images onto it and resize them) and balky (no voltage regulation and high power draw means trying lots of USB chargers/hubs until you find the one that works). Also, the single ethernet port makes it useless as a router, which could otherwise have been its niche. Got myself one of these when they came out. It's still collecting dust :-)

if you have grandparents or other computer illiterate people, you can set up Openelec and some addons from www.tvaddons.ag, along with a WinMediaPlayer remote control, so they can use the internet for entertainment the easy way, even if they dont know the diff between right-click and left-click.

>>1078514

your best bet is go to over to /g/, its the technology board they will be glad to help you with this. its what they do :)

here ya go OP: >>>/g/

>>1078538
>you'll have to dd readymade images onto it and resize them

not anymore. there's various utils to simplify this. one new one is berryboot, which installs on the Pi just by copying files to an SD card, then it boots and lets you download and install multiple OSes in multiboot. when i plug in my Raspi, i can choose Puppy linux, Open elec, Retropie, and Raspbian.

>>1078514
Get some LED strips and turn it into a lightning system that's identical to the Philip's ambilight system without having to buy a shitty Philip's TV

>>1078542
You are worse than OP

>>1078555
>I'm not OP
That's actually a really good idea.

>>1078542
I was almost going to suggest this and remembered I'm a /g/ user myself. He won't have much luck over there either

>>1078915
MiLight RGB wifi light bulbs will do this with a piece of software at 1/10th the price of Phillips Hue light bulbs (and even they are cheaper that buying a TV with Ambilight installed. The same software operates either bulbs or MiLight LED strip controllers.

If you don't have the skill or motivation to learn that would be my recommendation for buyfagging this.

>>1078514
You can start learning how to program for electronic circuits. For examples, Google raspberry pi home automation.

>>1078542
/g/ is completely useless when it comes to rpis. They'll suggest things you can do with any computer.

3D print server. It's fucking useless for anything else. I use a 3. I also have an original B+ which was only useful as a network enabled doorstop.

These things are shit.

>>1080535
/g/ used to have these types of threads all the time, that's where a lot of the 'install gentoo' shit came from.

/diy/ used to be slow enough that people with no patience or attention span would get bored and leave rather than having anons argue rapid fire over whether OP is a troll or a retard, and push good threads off the end of the board.

/g/tard here
PiVPN - http://www.pivpn.io/ - Setup a secure VPN on your home network for use on public wifi to guarantee you are safe
PiHole - https://pi-hole.net/ - Ad blocking DNS server, since its DNS you will be able to use it on pretty much every device
RetroPie - https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki - Retro gaming station using your RPi, Raspbian is recommended

If you are opening port 22 or any port ssh runs on, disable root login and have a really string password. There are bots that bruteforce SSH and install malware.

On the topic of microcontrollers, can /diy/ recommend a good breadboard kit? The rails I'm using for a speaker in my project are fucked up, and there are no other available spaces on the board to put it. I need a bigger board and wiring kit but can't tell crap from gold in this department.

I wrote my own data miner for a specific website and then set it up to run 24/7 on my raspberry pi. That being said, it literally sat in a draw for 4 years until I had the idea.

If you don't know what to do with it I think you should set it up to automatically login, start x and run a vnc script on boot. This enables screen-sharing with the raspberry pi over LAN which saves the hassle of connecting a monitor, keyboard and mouse whenever you want to use it.

This is seconded by me. I had a bananaPro for almost a year before I found the possibility to hack WPA2-WPS with Kali Linux. Now 2 of my grandma's neighbors are happy contributors to my torrent ratio.

Now I'm working on getting one wifi to work as access point, the other in monitor mode and to connect to it with my android phone so that I can do some network scanning on the go.

Fuck no
I dedicate 8gb of ram to.my server, and it still lags.
Granted its a bukkit server but still
Those servers run like shit on actual pc's

Also isn't that a bit of an overkill? I mean a pi is like 25ish bucks for a disposable system. An ASIC with the same functionality would cost you like 5$, 2.5$ with military persuasion.

>>1083830
I'm surprised this shit wasn't tried sooner to be honest. It' snot hard to imagine a fin kit for a iron bomb to turn it into a JDAM that uses cheap consumer micro processors, a GPS unit and some servos. Rather than spend god knows how many tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars on the current stuff.

An excalibur artillery shell costs $68,000 each and all it really is, is a shell with a GPS and fin kit.

>>1085098
To put military expenditure into perspective, a guided javelin missile using custom electronics, costs $246,000 per unit.

>>1078514

No, we also recommend anal insertion of RPi's. You can't do that with a regular laptop or desktop.

My employer turns literal garbage that people pay to get rid of into $20,000 a piece aircraft parts.

>>1087302

>be me
>work for company that makes airplane parts

I know your full of shit.

You do airplane shit you gotta track every minute piece of shit back to the dirt it was mined from. You gotta have a checklist with the signatures of every person for every step of the process. We got literal bolts we have to tighten with an inspector watching over our shoulder to make sure we tighten them properly.

We had a case where a spring manufacturer heat treated some springs in a galvanized basket instead of the proper basket and some of the springs had zinc flakes on them, they notified us of the batches of springs that where bad and we had to recall the part off planes because of that. Because of the insane level of paperwork we do for each part we could tell which parts had which shipments of springs on them. Do you have any idea how expensive it is to recall parts from planes that are in service? This is the kind of shit you do when you make airplane parts.

And your liable for ever with plane parts. You can go to actual prison for fucking up. My company has had parts that downed an aircraft and killed our war fighters due to a machinist grabbing the wrong type of metal for a part. It's serious shit. Also why airplanes are so god dammed expensive and why your full of shit if you think you can use scrap to make airplane parts as a company.

>>1087251
Those numbers are more or less accounting bullshit and not real.
This isn't to say that actual mil-spec shit isn't absurdly expensive, though.

Since you don't know what to do with it, make a media center.

Go on, lad.

Generally the easiest is to run it as an emulator and then use the USB ports for controller support. I've seen (at least with the newer ones) PS2 emulators, all the way down to NES & Atari. Some people have been working on emulators for 360/PS3 but that, I assume, would only work on the newer boards.

That being said, one of the cooler uses for the boards are robotics. But, beware, one of the things you'd probably find out is that it doesn't have an internal clock (which is slightly stupid if you ask me).
