Bored with Pi

[Oliver Michael]

I've run out of ideas on what to do with my Raspberry Pi 3b+ and I have an unused Pi zero sitting around. Does anyone have any fun projects to do with these? I do have a 3d printer, so I can 3d print cases and pieces if needed.

I fi knew a thing about car modding I would throw one of these in my little Hyundai lmao

Installing a headunit is not that intimidating as you expect.

It's a challenging project.

You can also try home automation (openHAB).

One that I plan to do here shortly is to build a sound proof case for the upcoming ring drone camera thing. It seems like the best way to work the case would be with a tweet bot. Then I can have a Bixby Routine that sends a tweet that tells the bot to open the case, and probably also tells the ring drone camera thing to start patrolling.

In this way, I can finally have a smart, relatively inexpensive home security solution, and personal privacy.

That's pretty smart I'll admit
