What to do with a Raspberry Pi

[Zundfolge]

So my brother sent me a Raspberry Pi B+.

I was originally thinking I'd build a RasPlex box with it but really don't need one since my Rokus work just fine.

I just want to find a good basic project to make with it that will not require the purchase of too many other items.

One idea I was considering is building a MAME box with it.

Anyone have some suggestions?

I have wondered if one could be used to make a LR scoring system. Point a camera at a target, shooter A fires and gets a score, then shooter B, etc. Live scoring of far targets if you will. I know there are other systems out there, but in my limited computer knowledge, it seems like a worthwhile thing to try.

I have been considering a home theater setup, and was JUST thinking about whether or not a raspberry pi would work... looks like I have some reading to do!

I thought this thread was going to be about PIE.

Build a DStar repeater.

Okay, I am intrigued.
Had to look it up first

Thanks for the new path to explore!

I'm finally doing this project. Bought my Pi, in the process is setting it up. I'm going to use it primarily as a retro video game emulator.

I used my PIs and some OTC IR sensors to make command proximity anti-personnel defenses. Surprisingly easy. USB wifi rulez!

We built two retro gaming systems with the kids (one for each) a couple of weeks ago. Honestly, I was disappointed that it was so easy - I was hoping that it would take a bit more work, and there'd be more teachable moments. Literally load the image and go, flawless fun so far.
Re-doing a bunch of stuff in the house over break, so maybe I'll play with one as a wifi-extender or maybe do some arduino projects.

Circuits scares me btw.
