I'm currently doing two things with the pi...

Simple old-skool music visualization project using colored LEDs - I went
Winamp in 2o2o; I'll post a video when I'm done. Lots of python options for scenes... and dialing in an impressive LED setup.

I have a Beitian BN-880 GPS & Compass chipset, but I don't have a project
idea for it... I could create a 'wheres the sysop' command on my bbs... I
could create an emergency compass/map w/ android & a pi screen/case... or;
what would you do with a GPS/compass module? I'm hunting for neat ideas. :P

These sound like cool ideas, I know that Deon is very much a Pi enthusiast
and sure he will be getting all excited to see this =)

I have seen some people use Pi's for in-car gadgetry, such as connecting to
the cambus to get all the tacho/speedo data, you could also make it some sort of navigation and maybe even entertainment system. The GPS could also double
as a sort of car tracker or something.

I'm currently doing two things with the pi...

I'm probably doing a little too much on my 3B+!

I run docker - and so it has:

2 Synchronet instances - one being my main BBS that I used to read/mail, and the other being my Videotex environment. (They both appear as a single 10 node instance of Synchronet.)

2 Fidohub instances - where my fidohub is binkp/hpt and jamnntp. One instance is the main hub for many networks, and the other I use for testing - so that I can test things before I put it on the main hub.

A gitlab runner, that compiles stuff for arm as I commit it to gitlab (mostly Synchronet, which takes an hour, or the fidohub).

And anything else I'm playing with!

I'm currently doing two things with the pi...

These sound pretty cool.

I bought a RetroPi case for one of my 3B's that I have, and installed RetroPi on it to re-live my teens.

I tell everybody I bought it for my son - but we all know that's not the truth!

I was reading somewhere, maybe FB, about your Videotex project... I don't
know much about what Videotex IS, but it looked interesting the way you
logged in with a device- and I am watching it. :P

I just started a Hyperion prohject, too, which is advanced smart LED coloring that matches your TVs (or computer, or any video feed) colors around the perimeter... not just static colors anymore. :P

Also, PiHat just released their $99 you-supply-all product that looks really nice! (Previously it was $299 that came with the pi and everything - but the price was too much!) It had an OLED screen that can be scripted to display
all types of Pi info... a built-in battery, cooling and other cool stuff... I might have to order one for $99. Computer on the go.

Yea - I have a pretty substantial 64GB retropie install. :P I want to put together one of those badass arcade joystick builds. You can create a big
huge 2player joystick setup that is just as badass as being in the arcade.
The Pi will certainly fit INSIDE of the setup and would make for a really
cool RetroPie setup.
