My Raspberry Pi projects!

Hoho, what a time to be alive! Also it will include one Ardunio project, because why the hell not?
In this blog post i will obviously talk about my RPi Projects. If you're not into this stuff then get into it. Creating Raspberry Pi projects is really fun and exciting journey and making them a real thing makes you feel awesome.
Before somebody assassinates me: It's all for fun, i'm not doing this for money. C'mon, If you're creating these for money then it's only about money and not about having fun... Oh and i will keep you updated on my x Raspberry Pi projects, because why not? I see that it sparkles interests here.

First of all, let's begin with my Raspberry Pi 3 Retro Pie handheld. I'm basically still collecting money for it, and so far 3D model looks... okayish. I keep forgetting about space when i'm creating this damn model though, and no i don't want to use Pi Zero, I want to make my life easier without having to solder everything i have in my hands.
I also bought a nice 32GB SDCard for it so space will not be a issue. Somewhere in Summer, i'll buy Raspberry Pi 3 model B so i can screw around with it before i will get my 7' LCD. [And other crap like speakers]
One thing i'm worried about? Me screwing something during soldering. I'm really clumsy when it comes to soldering but I want to finally learn how to solder. I also want to have bragging rights [It's awful ik] that i made something alone for once.

My second project would probably be either a home server or a small game server so i can play with my friends in peace. I'm still debating between these two. Either way, I'll have to buy x2 HDD anyways because i'm running out of space on my main PC and on my Wii U. [So home server would be actually useful for once...]
Or i could just say 'Screw this!' and turn it into Arcade box which i don't want to. [It's alot of work and i don't want to come near mechanical chainsaw because i know how it will end...] Also no, i don't need a KODI/XMBXC box since i don't even watch anything on my TV.
Well, if you guys have any ideas then tell me, i'll probably make it a thing.

Third project will include Ardunio. Why do i need it?
Well, i want to create myself a 'Tablet' [You know, for osu! and all that basic crap such as drawing]
Ardunio is a specific device so i'm still thinking this through. At the other hand, i'm not looking forward to wasting over $100 for a good Wacom tablet. [Which i technically could but this defeats the whole purpose of DIY] I'm still thinking this through and if i even want to do it.

Questions to you: Did you ever attempted to create anything using Raspberry Pi and did it work out in the end?
Comment below!

Oh and to end this with usual manner: See you in another boring blog posts which will probably become a GBATemp meme. /s

Raspberries and Arduinos are fun.

I built an ugly arcade stick using an Arduino and a cardboard box. Works really well. Didn't do much of the software part myself though, I used UnoJoy, since it's really complex and requires flashing a separate driver to the Uno since it doesnt support HID Beat Castlevania with it. Fun project and good learning experience.
Also made two NintendoSpies for fun, good project for getting used to soldering and splicing wires.
Used SnesPaduino to use SNES pad with PC, works amazingly well, and you don't even need to splice any wires, you can just shove wires inside the connectors of the SNES connector and then connect them to the Arduino.

Arduinos have TONS of uses and are cheap so you'll find something fun to do with it regardless. If you want to use UnoJoy though, be careful if you buy a rip off, since most of those are unflashable.

I use a Raspberry Pi for a camera surveillance thing for our front door with motionEye.
My friend built a remote controlled car using a Raspberry Pi when we were in school. Was fucking epic, you could just SSH to the Pi and launch a client app and control it with WASD or a gamepad. He did everything from scratch.

F
I'll only use 2 Arduinos to probably create touch keyboard or a small keyboard with Cherry MX for osu! or something.
Still will probably do something else, not really interested in robots.
But damn, a self-controlled mini-car? That's amazing!

I built an auduino, kinda of a synth like device. My second project was an Arduino Boy to hook up my Gameboy to Midi. I woud recommend the first kit, its easy and fun. The second if your really into music creation with the Gameboy, this one took awhile to build and required a few extra parts. The project enclosures were cheap bead holders I found for a buck at Michaels.

I have three Rasperry Pi 3s sitting here waiting for a project. I wanted to do a retropi seutp, but also thought of using it as an onboard camera and some possible data logging on one of my high powered rockets. Should be fun.
