Raspberry Pi - mini computer [NEW]
There was an old topic in the connecting to the world, but this will work here to say what you are doing with your raspberry pi! also say this information if you want
Pi version: (rpi 2, zero, etc)
Pis you have: (how many do you have)
what you are doing with them
for me:
Both RPI 2
2 RPIs
both running web servers (1 is now, just got the new one)

I have an original RPi Model B running my media centre (with a couple of hard disks attached to it). I am also planning on using a Zero to make a sound board for podcasting purposes, assuming I can figure out the wiring.

More are being manufactured. I have several other electronics projects to be getting on with in the meantime

I have none. 
However, I do want to get a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, because I've got a couple of things in my mind to use it for.

I did get a Raspberry Pi 2 yesterday, however I cannot do anything with it at the moment since I don't have a USB keyboard.

Once SSH is enables, s long as you have a display, whenever it boots, you can get the IP address when on ethernet/wifi

It's also possible to connect via serial connection.

I got a Raspberry Pi 2 recently and I have it running nicely. It's an awesome platform, and it really is a lot of fun to use!
I made a tutorial for any new users here that explains basic setup and such.
I have a micro-sd with n00bs- er, NOOBS so I have a good amount of content to use already. I plan to do some Python programming soon!

I've been researching audio input and output via GPIO. As far as I can tell it should be possible to output PCM audio and then run it through a DAC chip to get analogue audio. I think I could do something similar in reverse to input audio.
The reason I'd do this instead of using a USB soundcard is voltage. I want to run my RPi from a battery pack and as such it's unlikely that I'll be able to maintain a constant 5V. I'm more likely to manage 4.5 - 3.3 V (as the voltage a battery can supply diminishes as it discharges). Lots of DAC chips are happy to run at a range of voltages so that should solve the power issue.

I got a rpi2 and a rp0. For some reason up here in Canada, they've got plenty of pi zeros. They've got a whole closet full of them.
I'm kinda bored on what to do with them, I want to do something with my LED's and something simple with my rpi, any ideas?
I also got this humidity and temperature sensor thing

if you want it a public website, that is a diffrent story. But usually, it is local, so only people on your network can access itI'll try it out.Does anyone have any ideas for programming the Raspberry Pi? I'm sorta at a lossA web server

using my webcam I might try and make a robust face detector
and I might as well fail
typing through my pi right now :P
