So, I just bought a Raspberry Pi Zero (why? it was cheap as shit) and I'm wondering what's a really interesting thing I can do with it.
Any ideas?
>>55596480
Sell it for $15-$20 to someone who actually has a use for it
>>55596480
dns ad blocking server
>>55596480
>I bought something
>(why? it was cheap as shit)
you know what's even cheaper? not buying junk for no reason. i can find a coupon for you if you want.
>>55596480
shove it up your ass
Put it on a 20 dollar bill
>>55596480
Well you dun goofed up if you bought one without a project in mind.
That smart mirror thing always intrigued me, you might wanna look into that
>>55597148
Try tell that to /csg/
>>55596974
this, mine has been doing just this.
but seriously maybe you would have been better off buying some coffee flavored drink instead of this.
not op but bump. i have been curious for a while. wondering what anons have done with them.
>buy pi zero
>use it as a shit tier emulator
>that's it
>it was 4 bux though so whatever
>>55596480
Put 30 NES games on there. Sell it on ebay for $60 dollars.

>>55596480
throw it out and then buy an arduino
>>55597289
there's a lot of that in /csg/ but there's also a lot of people saying shit like "I need a _____ and i'm too cheap to buy a first party version of that thing". that's not frivolous in the same sense as the OP (who's saying "I have $5 and my primary goal is to get rid of it").
but more importantly, people just looking to spend their allowance (or, less likely, their disposable income) in the /csg/ are at least not cluttering the board with another thread. they're just adding noise to a thread that would exist anyway.
>>55596480
Install gentoo

>tfw he's in a jail or a mental institution
Hey anon!
I have one and am waiting for my homebrew setup to use as a PID controller with brewpi. Can also turn them into sprinkler controllers for lawn. Bet there a hydroponic setup too. Just search around man!
>>55596974
>>55597328
What's the benefit to do this though? Routers worth buying can already accomplish this themselves or through third party DNS. You can also use services like OpenDNS. It has an easy to use interface on the website. Most router firmware these days support services such as OpenVPN, DNS, and more. You can also use something like Clarkconnect/ClearOS too.
>>55598371
cool meme bro
stuff it into a replacement gameboy shell and make a gameboy.
>>55598680
That. Make a handheld for running emulators
>>55597274
This made me inhale air through my nostrils really fast
>>55596480
Read the wiki.
Thinking about using this as control system / pattern sync for LED lights on a hoodie.
basically /terrorwave/
>>55598768
>that pic
lmao
My plan is to solder it directly to the contacts under a breadboard to have a small instant prototyping device I can just quickly hook up to my pc and comfortably control the pins through Python.
It just arrived and I'm currently still playing around with the software, I already have it configured as an USB serial+ethernet device, so I just hook it up to my pc with a single cable connected to the OTG port (it's also powered by it) and get access to its console and bridge the network so the Pi has internet access too.
>>55598768
>smart water
how does water get smart?
>>55596480
Stick it in a vibrating egg, stick it up your ass, make a a webapp where people can control how hard they want to fuck your ass.
>>55598831
An ESP8266 is better suited for that.
>>55598831
but are they really fucking your ass if they're just vibrating the egg? there needs to be an in-out movement for it to be considered fucking
>>55598815
Bottled Asian sweat.
>>55598844
I think it would be a pretty big engineering feat to have something fuck your ass while never leaving your ass. OP can work out the details.
>>55598887
I clearly said "in-out movement", that doesn't mean it actually needs to go out full and then in again, it can just go out a bit, back up a bit while still being in your ass and then come back in.
You would need some special underwear to hold it in place while it fucks you.
Although, it would look really strange when you're in public.
>>55596480
>I just bought a Raspberry Pi Zero
where from? all the places i know are always sold out
also
>yet another "i bought raspi/arduino/esp8266/fpga, what do?" thread
>>55596480
It has no uses. Zero.
It's just a toy for autists.
>>55598942
So like Pokemon GO?
>>55598955
Pretty much.
>>55598909
>, it can just go out a bit, back up a bit while still being in your ass and then come back in.
Right bout how are you going to do that? Attach wheels on it? Claws to crawl up the sphincter? Stick some fuel in there and use thrust?
I was seeing it as an independent device, if you attached it to a pair of panties it would be workable.
>>55598969
Compressed air would likely be the best bet. You can use CO2 carts to blow air in your ass and then let it out and then repeat.
What's a reasonably cheap rPi alternative that has good networking (i.e doesn't have ethernet share with USB)?
>>55598983
Source?
>>55599142
Himegoto
>>55599002
the new one with integrated wifi.
or a chink one without the fraction of support the rpi gets.
>>55597389
>not understanding how dns works
>>55598887
patent pending
>>55599192
>good networking
>wifi
...?
>>55599217
That wouldn't need a raspberry at all. It only requires 2 gears.
>>55599236
better than what the older ones get from what i've heard. it's a crapshoot to be honest.
i use it as a very low maintenance home server so i don't really care or know what the networking deal is.
as i said, just go with a chink machine then. stop being lazy and just search rpi on ali or whatever and you'll get options
>>55599256
the rasppi would control the stepper and provide a web interface
also I just noticed I fucked up - the squeezer should do the inverse thing
>>55599272
An arduino would be more useful for that purpose.
>>55599282
I already mentioned the ESP8266 (hooking it up to an extra Arduino is pointless), which would be perfect for it. But we are talking about Pi projects.
>>55599002

>>55599772
How is that a problem?
Pretty much everyone ships worldwide these days.
Set up a Tor relay/exit node and help make the Internet great again for privacy-conscious people.
Is this equivalent to 80's microcomputer, or is it too complicated to code directly in asm on bare metal?
I'd buy one if I can use it to fuck around with OS dev and make demoscene stuff. But if it's just a LInux box, I don't need it.

Soon as I get each emulators config coordinated so I don't have to play a 'guess the controls' minigame while I game, a retroarch card.
It's not working out as I'd hoped to be honest, still a clusterfuck, my fault I'm sure.
>>55597148
this. reminds me of the whole sale argumentation thing...
>it was on sale, i saved a lot of money by buying it
no you didn't. you spent money.
>>55596480
How did you get it? Where? Please.
>>55600153
Not OP but I got mine from pihut recently but it's sold out again already.

which one is the best?
price/quality wise
>>55600283
really? isn't that the most expensive one?
>>55600298
it wasn't a serious answer anon, just a joke
>>55599815
>>55599847
Shipping it to here costs much more than the device itself. Still not worth it.
>>55600320
this very much
it's fucking cheaper to buy an old, small server than a raspberry pi
>>55600320
yeah 4 pounds
that's about the standard shipping fee when I order stuff from inside my own country.
so I'm used to getting jewed with shipping
How is the psp and dreamcast emulation RPi 3?

So, should I get a odroid c2 instead?
It seems much better for emulation those systems, although a bit priced too.
if you have air conditioning, you could program a optimal nonlinear control system to actually make a thermostat and lower your electricity bills.
You can even get into the IoT meme and connect it to the internet to watch how enviromental parameters vary.
There's lots of things you could do with a zero. Unfotunately, /g/ only cares about GPUs and gaymin so maybe in /ohm/ they could give you better advice
Make it into a webserver and host another chan on it

>>55602203
What do you mean by nonlinear? A/C is either on or off, there's no throttle. Do you mean set the thermostat higher when you're not home or something?
>>55604178
Depends on the air conditioner, you'll have to look up the manual. Controlling airflow through dampers, for example, can be on/off or continuous(controlling the area of "openness" of the output). From that action, you can control humidity and temeperature and make it responsive to change in thermal load.
Turning off the operation when you're not there and turning it on via interwebz when you're on your way there could be a nice feature too.

Does anyone where to find a case for the
LeMaker Cello?

If you have a university near you they probably rent out time on their 3D printer.
Put it in a toaster
Then play dmc4 on it and get 220fps anyway

>No literally I am playing on a toaster
Then send pics for keks and upvotes or whatever fucking else fagets like you like
>>55602724
I wish my drunk spending was as cheap as this guys. I once staggered home from a party, resumed watching Schindler's List, and when I woke up there was a message in my inbox confirming an order for a $220 straight razor and a bunch of other related crap. Admittedly the razor is fucking amazing and the brush and soap feel great, but I didn't exactly need this.
>>55600253

When will this shit end?

I gambled away 1400 USD last night
>>55596480
What are all of these RPI threads, seriously there have been so many in the past week asking what they're good for and what not, I'm starting to wonder if it's the same fucking guy trying to justify his shitty purchase. Well shitty purchase if he didn't have any projects in mind.
>>55607154
Over 5 million Raspberry Pis have been sold until 2015.
>>55607176
I'm not questioning how many people here have RPIs what I'm wondering is why there has been a spike in threads about them the past few weeks. Did the Zero finally get a re stock?
>>55606932
I use a vintage straight razor I got for for ~$25.

Better done on an arduino desu
i've got a raspberry pi 3. going to turn it into a host for DC++ while i'm at work.
also have a pi 2, use it for playing movies on a projector. brookstone makes a 720p picoprojector that has a good battery and the pi 2 can power most external harddrives. it's a good portable movie player trio.

How hard is it to install Emulator and ROMs on a Raspberry Pi? Also, where can I actually buy them for $5?
>>55605366
>If you have a university near you they probably rent out time on their 3D printer.
There are also online 3D printing services, but while I do have basic Blender skills, it would probably be a shitty case, not professional quality.
Good case design needs experience with tolerances and choosing the right plastics.
Not going to waste hundreds on failed attempts.
Other than the lack of a case, the LeMaker Cello looks like the best ARM board to date.
Add 16 GiB of RAM and a fast SSD, perfect.
>>55614719
Look up emulationstation, it works pretty well and its not that hard to set .
>>55614770
I just wish I could get one for $5
>>55614822
I know you could get rpi zeros with magazines for a fiver a while back but even then an rpi2 or 3 will do much better with the extra ram and cores for emulation. Especially for later consoles.

More expensive tho, and if you wanna make some emulation machines to sell there is less profit.
