For those of you who use Raspberry Pi’s in your home environment, I’m curious as to what you use them for. What applications are you running on them? Do you have your Pi’s setup in a cluster?
I made a python soft that uses the pi camera and scans qr codes, and plays the playlist that’s on the eventual qr code. Just show the album and it plays.
But they have become so incredible expensive, and banana pis etc just doesn’t work that well, so I just stopped the whole Raspberry Pi craze.
Today I just collected a 55€ Lenovo thinkcenter (like 18cm squared x 3.5cm) with a quad core, 8GB/256GB. I think it will replace my next rpi quite well and when it breaks, I can get another one quite simply.
If I want to do more to the metal electronics stuff, I’ll just use a 2560 Mega or an esp8266 or similar.
