    Not interested in “The Craziest Thing” preferring projects that are “the most useful thing”.
    I would like to build a system with at least two Sameras to observe – in this case Birds.
    hen connecting to to AI for identification of the Birds.

      One Pi5 which replace 4 Other PIs
      On the New Pi could be an Server OS
      this Server will haver several Virtual Machines like:
      – Homeassistant
      – Klipper for 3D Printer
      – One Desktop Debian for small applications
      – One Image with BackUp Tools to mirror hard disks
      and so on…
      One Pi5 for All the stuff….

      I would like to make a file converter server since I dont want my personal files being uploaded to the cloud JUST to convert its file type!

    • Mahmoud Alsebaai on August 17, 2024 at 5:44 pm

      Build an AI-powered security system that includes face recognition, motion detection, and even anomaly detection using the Raspberry Pi 5. With the advanced processing speed, it can stream and analyze multiple camera feeds, store data, and even trigger alerts based on AI-driven decisions.
      Send me one and i will make the system 😉

    A real time HD video synth which takes HDMI input and alters it in Processing (or similar – perhaps a game engine to show off the new GPU) using either midi controls or the GPIO. Output to both HDMI outs, one for preview or current state of controls and the other is result.

  3. Henry on October 4, 2023 at 4:30 pm

    How about trying to overclock the Pi 5 to extreme levels? Using liquid nitrogen cooling?

    • Ryan on October 5, 2023 at 7:48 am

      I believe some people have used AI to turn wifi routers into cameras that can see through walls. it may be a stupid idea, but maybe a raspberry pi could take this idea and make it portable

    • Jan Stahlhut on October 5, 2023 at 9:19 pm

      Wir bauen gerade eine Bildungsstätten, die von ihnen komplett eine Raumschiff für bis zu ca. 80 Personen Besatzung darstellt. Alle Terminals, Displays und Steuerungen sowie aller Sound und Lichttechnik ist mit Raspberry Pis verwirklicht worden. Vor allem 3er, Picos und ein paar 4er. Vor allem die rechen hungrigen Anwendung stoßen leider an ihre Grenzen. So war es uns bisher noch nicht möglich einen Hauptscreen zu realisieren auch live Video vom umgebenden All können nur getrickst, vor gerendert oder als Standbild dargestellt werden. Ein 5er wär an dieser Position sicher sehr hilfreich und wir müssten nicht mehr auf ein Notdürftig abgetarntes Notebook zurück greifen, das wieder eigene Software und Hardware Beschränkungen mitbringen kann.

      2 Vorschläge:

      1. Zu Land, zu Luft, zu Wasser 😉
      Wie wäre es mit einem RC Fahrzeug (fliegendes Amphibienfahrzeug) dessen Steuerung, Kamera, … usw. über den Pi läuft und sich per WLAN mit der Smartphone steuern lässt.

      2. Das gute alte analoge (halb ele.) Ergometer mit dem Raspi ins digital Zeitalter holen. Mit GPS Koordinaten und Videosyncron gesteuertem Widerstand und Display was Video selbst abgefahrener Strecken anzeigt.

      • Javier Goldman on October 9, 2023 at 4:25 am

        not really crazy, but i’m interested in how underclocking would affect the performance.

      • Αμπατζόγλου Ιωάννης on October 9, 2023 at 5:18 am

        Να ενσωματωθεί το raspberry pi στον βιντεοπροβολεα διαδραστικού πίνακα ή στη νέα διαδραστική οθόνη που χρησιμοποιούμε στις σχολικές τάξεις, ώστε να γίνουν smart. Έτσι οι καθηγητές θα έχουν μόνο ένα πληκτρολόγιο και ένα ποντικι πάνω στην έδρα, γλιτώνοντας το κόστος ενός υπολογιστή, τον χώρο που καταλάμβανε πάνω στην έδρα και την καλωδίωση μέχρι τον πίνακα.

      • Phill Burton on October 9, 2023 at 5:53 am

        You could send your Pi 5 into near-space attached to a weather balloon. Be sure to fit GPS, a camera module and some Lego figures. Record the whole journey and once it returns to earth (hopefully on land) have it audibly request to anyone nearby to be returned by post. You can then analyse how well it operated at different heights, the temperature changes, which route the balloon took, and all the forces it felt throughout.

  4. Tomas on October 4, 2023 at 5:35 pm

    Ich hätte gern ein NAS gesehen, das mit vielen Zusatztools, wie Bild Sortierung mit Erkennung von Gesichtern und Gegenständen (virtuelle Ordner und Exif Beschriftung). Vielleicht mit zu Hilfenahme von Coral TPU USB. Dokumenten Scanner Empfänger mit Wegsortieren und OCR. Und Time Machine.

  5. Trevor on October 4, 2023 at 7:45 pm

    could turn it into a satellite/weather monitor that displays funny led images for rain, sunshine, clouds, or to alert you when a satellite you’ve been tracking vibes into range.

  6. Jason R lamy on October 4, 2023 at 7:49 pm

    I would like to make a huge cluster that is liquid cooled. using the heat from the liquid to heat a home or something else.

  7. Trevor on October 4, 2023 at 7:56 pm

    could turn it into a weather/satellite tracker which displays graphics for different types of weather or notifies you when a satellite you’ve been tracking comes into range. could send also communicate with another pi or arduino which controls a plant box to water the plants if it’s going to be dry and covers them in shade if it’s too sunny. If it’s tracking a satellite it can notify you on your phone or main workstation and play a song on a buzzer.

  12. Lasse Mølgaard on October 4, 2023 at 8:59 pm

    well… One of friends once used a Raspberry Pi 3 to take a highspeed timed picture of an element passing by on a conveyor belt.

    The picture was crystal clear because the Raspberry controlled the shutter speed of the camera and was timed to the conveyor belt using laser beams.

    The picture of the subject was then used by another computer to do a visual quality control that in turn told the conveyor belt to forward if quality control was good or discard it if it was bad.

    I guess the Raspberry Pi 5 can do it all in one go? 🙂

  13. Joseph Barrow on October 4, 2023 at 9:20 pm

    Hmmm.

    How about going old-school and running Crysis on each core? Have powered USB hubs with gaming equipment, gaming chair with powered speakers or Bluetooth surround sound, multiple displays, and a webserver updating system stats to Twitter (er, ‘X’) and Facebook.

  14. niki aigner on October 4, 2023 at 9:41 pm

    i’m currently playing around with a raspi4 as a linuxCNC host. my experience with throwing an rt kernel at it has not been that great – i get good jitter, but my (old) laptops with regular kernels still get better max latencies with a non-preemptive kernel. jitter is worse, though.
    the higher clock speed on a raspi5 may make make it a better candidate for rt applications. add the gpio and lower price on top – voilà: amazing cnc controller!

  25. Tobiah Howell on October 5, 2023 at 1:35 am

    I’ve always wanted to build a physical game you can play against a computer on. like a game of Air hockey, hungry-hungry hippos, or maybe even chess. it would involve some Vision system and a bit of controls either with a robotic arm, actuators, or a servo or two. but, the new raspberry pi 5 looks to have more than enough horsepower under the hood to handle it now.

  26. Aaron on October 5, 2023 at 2:10 am

    I would love to see how well Windows 10 or 11 works on it, if at all. See what games are playable on it. Games like Minecraft Java? Try overclocking to extreme levels.

  27. Mark Kissel on October 5, 2023 at 2:20 am

    I use a Pi4 to track the ADSB and MLAT signals from aircraft, and upload the data to 4 different flight tracking sites. I usually process and relay over 1½ million messages/day from aircraft within a 250 mile radius. I imagine upgrading to a Pi5 would make that process much more efficient…

    I’m removing my enterprise servers from my home lab, and replacing them with Raspberry Pis. I’m starting off with my active directory infrastructure using Samba 4.x on 2 Pi’s for redundancy.

    I don’t have virtualisation, although I’ve run that in commercial environments before.

    Trying to keep things simple.

    I’d love a Pi 5 to put my WordPress instance on.

  33. Arturo Mendez on October 5, 2023 at 4:36 am

    Build a IoT hub for my car that connects to it via CAN bus to monitor car data, beef up the Pi with sensors to provide extra data to make the car safer, and have a super cool driving experience; connect to cloud services to provide and receive extra content; of course adding external storage to make the car a personal cloud/media/entertainment hub (it can serve as a NAS). use one HDMI output for the user screen (interface)/media playing, etc. and use the other with a pico projector to give AR and windshield HUD.

    Perhaps building a cluster of Pis that may be plugged into the car hub to provide extra muscle for ML functions.

  34. Ryan Conner on October 5, 2023 at 4:38 am

    create an ammo reloading press monitoring system with gui and dual cam feeds to watch primers and case powder. AI would be a cool feature for alarms powder in cases. then sensors for primers and case feeders. buzzers to keep primers and powder feeding reliable. round counting would be the finishing touch.

  36. Borys on October 5, 2023 at 6:35 am

    since RPI 5 got a CPU/GPU upgrade and increased connection speed I can finaly do my crazy (smart home / home NAS/ home server / home work station ) all in one combo project.

    It all started as a hobby of creating things I might need. when I bought RPI 2 at a time I thought it offered so much unfortunately overclocked pi 2 was not enough to handle servers at least not in a way I wanted it to be. NAS worked fine but not greate due to connection speed and CPU limitations so I moved on to RPI 4 with 8 gigs of ram this made my life so much better. I could finaly get my NAS to work the way I want to plus use it as a home entertainment from time to time but even with 2.2 GHz OC on that sweet credit card monster I can do only so much as this toasty CPU can give so finaly time has come for more powerfull brother to step up and Cary the load of my old pi4 giving it a greate retirement as a retro console for my kids as I make my self a new friend to tinker with 🙂

  41. David on October 5, 2023 at 8:16 am

    Now that raspb has a better much more capable processor, maybe we could finally develop proper graphics-accelerator support for it. Perhaps even combine it with a camera by populating the csi port and using it for all sorts of recognition projects or anything that requires real-time footage analysis.

    Or just a very compact mini home theater setup 😜

  42. Jacopo on October 5, 2023 at 9:04 am

    Well, the craziest thing I can think of is:
    1)get a bunch or raspberries
    2)program each one to act as a simple, 3-pin transistor via the GPIO.
    3)hook them up together and create the least efficient logic gate known to man

    Sounds stupid, and it is, but that’s something you can’t really do with a normal computer!

    “Raspberry Pi Ghost Pianist”

    Imagine creating a system that allows a Raspberry Pi to control a piano automatically, as if it were played by an invisible pianist. Here’s how you could do it:

    Electric Piano: Purchase or use an electric piano or MIDI keyboard that can be controlled by a Raspberry Pi.

    Robotic Fingers: Build a robotic system with mechanical fingers that can independently press the piano keys, controlled by the Raspberry Pi.

    Musical Detection: Use music recognition software and sheet music analysis to enable the Raspberry Pi to “listen” to a variety of musical pieces.

    Musical Compositions: Create original musical compositions or arrangements of existing songs that can be automatically played on the piano.

    Interactive Performance: Organize shows where the audience can “see” the piano playing by itself, as if guided by an invisible pianist.

    Style Variations: Implement the ability to change the piano’s playing style, making it appear as though it’s played by different imaginary pianists with different styles (classical, jazz, pop, etc.).

    Lights and Special Effects: Add lights and special effects that activate during the performance to create a unique visual experience.

    Remote Control: Allow the audience to remotely control the “ghost” piano from a mobile app or website so they can request specific songs or change how the music is played.

    This project could be an extraordinary public performance and a unique entertainment experience. Of course, it’s essential to ensure that the piano and mechanical hands are safe and do not damage the real piano.

    I think that with the new processor in the Raspberry Pi 5, we can do more complex tasks. For example, we could create a super complex AI bot that can connect to the internet and take voice commands as input from the microphone. It could then provide an appropriate answer to the command, such as turning off a lamp or writing a poem on a random topic. We could use LLM models(some LLM models provide free access to their APIs) to provide a response to the user, and we could also connect a speaker to the raspberry pi 5 so that we can hear its response.

  61. Nicolas Schiller on October 5, 2023 at 2:29 pm

    run a Script at login that will prompt how smooth pi runs and how long it took to Boot. then it will place a Copy of itself in Boot folder and reboot the pi as long as it has enough capacity for next Boot. else it will prompt that you should buy another device and Cluster the system to go on together with a Manual how to accomplish clustering

    Fish-Controlled TV Channel Surfer

    Concept:
    Let your pet fish decide what you’re watching tonight.

    Implementation:
    1.) Set up a camera above your fish tank connected to the pi.
    2.) Segment the tank into zones, each corresponding to a TV channel.
    3.) Train an object detection model on your fish.
    4.) The Raspberry Pi detects where the fish is swimming and changes the channel accordingly via infrared.
    Maybe fish like soap operas?

    Extension for making the project really crazy:
    A mechanism similar to that of an electric eel to deliver a painful electric shock to the fish and urge it into the desired section when manually switching.

    either i did lay down the SSD to hard or the 2000GHZ used the SSD to fast.
    So, my SSD 256GB was broken. I will try to repair it again.

    embed as many micro cameras and micro led pixels (latest are about .7mm for both) side by side, diagonally, in a large flexible screen, shaped to a large tube. have the Pi 5 running the input and output via distribution boards. if big enough a person could go in the tube and effectively be invisible, if the cameras are linked to their opposing pixel…and display that micro feed.
    anyone walking around the tube might see a changing view according to their position…🤷🏼🤷🏼

    How about using the pi to restore a iMac G3 or G4? But going all out making a retro computer into something desirable today. Now that it is two to three times faster and more powerful it’s time to see if you can make the ultimate retro desktop. You could even attempt to play some of the popular games at the time!

    I would love to see how Windows 10 or 11 would run on this new Pi through the WOR Project. Possibly install it on a NVMe drive using the new PCIe interface, when the boards and adapters eventually come out.

    I also want to see how far I can Overclock it. I know people have got it up to 3 GHz. But I want to know if I could take it farther with just the standard active cooling for the Pi 5.

    how about put pi5 monitor and record data of wind by employing anemometer and temperature sensor in surround area , so will able to understand wether and climate of that region with limited data and understanding what all factors might effect the weather by constantly recoding wind speed and direction by wind wane as well, so it’s to observe and keep raspberry Pi5 for weeks or months to see repeated pattrens even a year to make a proper observation about recurring events in wether changes and how it will affect surroundings and even we might learn to predict upcoming wether change , this is my idea.

  90. Chris L. on October 6, 2023 at 2:53 am

    Title; “Building a Network of Raspberry Pi 5 Weather Balloons”

    Idea;
    Imagine creating a network of weather balloons powered by Raspberry Pi 5. This network would provide real time weather data, from altitudes and locations offering both eco friendly benefits.

    Components;

    Multiple Raspberry Pi 5 units for each balloon
    GPS modules for location tracking
    Weather sensors to measure temperature, humidity, pressure, etc.
    High altitude helium balloons
    LoRa or satellite communication modules
    Custom designed lightweight weatherproof cases

    Project Details;

    1. Set up. Configure Raspberry Pi 5 units with GPS modules and weather sensors.
    2. Attach the Raspberry Pi units to high altitude helium balloons ensuring they are protected by custom designed cases against inclement weather conditions.
    3. Launch the weather balloons from locations within the EU while equipping them with LoRa or satellite communication modules to transmit data.
    4. As the balloons ascend through altitudes the Raspberry Pi units on each balloon will collect real time weather data allowing for study of atmospheric conditions at various levels.
    5. Aggregate all data, from the balloons onto a Raspberry Pi 5 located on the ground.

    Lets create a web interface thats easy for users to navigate. This interface will display real time data, on temperature, humidity, pressure and altitude. We can then share this weather data with institutions, meteorological organizations and the general public.

    Here are some benefits of implementing this project;

    Educational; By providing access to weather data we can encourage students and enthusiasts to learn more about weather phenomena, atmospheric conditions and data analysis.
    Environmental; Collecting this data will give us insights into conditions. It could even contribute to climate research efforts.
    Technological; This project will showcase the capabilities of the Raspberry Pi 5 for collecting and communicating data in environments.
    Community Engagement; Sharing real time weather information with the public will enable better weather predictions and preparedness.

    To evaluate the success of this project we’ll consider criteria;

    Creativity and Innovation; The concept of using a Raspberry Pi 5 powered weather balloon network is unique and exciting.
    Educational Value; The potential for learning opportunities and educational outreach is significant.
    Technological Complexity; Implementing this project requires a level of skill.
    Environmental Impact; The project has the potential to contribute to environmental or scientific research.

    This project not demonstrates the power and versatility of the Raspberry Pi 5. Also actively involves communities in monitoring their environment while fostering educational initiatives. It’s an idea that aligns perfectly with the Raspberry Pi communitys ethos. As such it has potential as a contender, in the contest.

    It would be really cool to have a small Linux box that you could carry around and connect to with your phone (perhaps have some sort of VNC server on the Raspberry Pi as well as having it set as a wifi hotspot).

    It would require a dedicated battery though, as most likely a phone wouldn’t provide enough current to power a Raspberry Pi.

    That might be an interesting thing to do though! (achieve powering up a raspberry pi from an Android phone through reverse charging and maybe some additional circuitry)

A lucky friend, who lives opposite to the library, can get Wifi from there. I’d like to put a RPi5 Wireguard server at his place that taps into the library’s Wifi and tunnels back to my place over his own Internet, so that it appears like I’ve taken up permanent residence in the library.

    Use a pi 5 to setup a home network, to which every bell is connected to, as well as a front door camera. An Audio system then welcomes the guest by their name (via AI interpretation of camera footage). The speaker also announces “achievements”, like ringing 20 times, or saying happy birthday.
    Also, adding “relationships” to the system, e.g., joking around with people you want to joke around with, saying they are at the wrong address, or they cant enter because its out of business hours.

    I’d like to see a solar powered blimp which takes images of the ground (obviously within legal limits of a region) and runs a simple web server to stream the images live on the internet, either via some sort of satellite or mobile network connection, dependant on the technical requirements of such networks at altitude.

    The direction should be determined in real-time by public vote via the website (within predefined geographic limits to ensure no local laws are breached).

    This would require to be deployed in some large public space with no private properties secretive buildings or flights paths, perhaps like a national park or something like that.

  120. Jona on October 6, 2023 at 4:19 pm

    With 2 times (or even more) the performance compared to it’s older sibling the raspberry pi4, it’s now an even better platform for emulation specially arcade.

    the idea is to build a custom wide arcade inspired cabinet with 4 seats that could run anything up the sega dreamcast and maybe some ps2 games.
    using a extended antenna it’ll have great wifi and bluetooth range for wireless controllers
    using a usb hub and extended usb cabling every seat would get a usb port for a arcade/fight stick.
    the pi5 should easily upscale any emulator to 1080p if not render it natively so I’m thinking a 40 to 50 inch 1080p tv as a display will deliver a solid experience.

    after all that toss in a ups for uninterrupted power, a few noctua fans for airflow and boom: Pi5 power arcade cabinet.

  121. Joseph Buta on October 6, 2023 at 4:47 pm

    My idea is to take advantage of the dual camera inputs new to Raspberry Pi 5, to turn your Pi into a portable 3D scanner! An external battery, and dual cameras, mean with the right setup and software you can 3D objects in the world around you. With the new RTC able to accurately timestamp when you scanned each object, you could even create a Pokédex-esque application for 3D scanning bugs and wildlife with your family. Great educational potential. and could even overlay fun facts “Live” with AR.

    With the single lane PCIe 2.0 interface, I’ve wondered if the Pi 5 could become a high end router competitor. Hooked up to a Network Interface Controller, it could theoretically support gigabit networking over four ports. Plus it should have plenty of overhead for a bunch of other services; web server, media server, PiHole, maybe even act as a controller for a cluster.

    Η χρήση εκπαιδευτικού λογισμικού σε συνδυασμό με το ίντερνετ και την αλληλεπίδραση των μαθητών (πχ επιτοπου ψηφοφορια ή αποστολή προτάσεων-σκεψεων μέσω κινητών) ανεβάζει το μάθημα σε άλλο επίπεδο. Για αυτό και οι τάξεις των σχολείων εξοπλίζονται με διαδραστικούς πίνακες ή μεγάλες οθόνες touch που αντικαθιστούν τους παραδοσιακούς πίνακες.
    Όμως η χρήση laptop ή pc για την οδήγηση του πίνακα ή της οθονης έχει μεγάλο κόστος, απαιτεί καλωδίωση (ρεύμα, σήμα οθόνης, επικοινωνία μέσω usb) και τρώει χώρο απο την έδρα του καθηγητή.
    Προς λύση του ανωτέρω προβλήματος προτείνω τη χρήση ενός raspberry pi 5 με ανοικτό εκπαιδευτικό λογισμικό που θα στηρίζεται στον τοίχο δίπλα στον προβολέα και πάνω στην έδρα θα υπάρχει μόνο ένα ασύρματο πληκτρολόγιο και ένα ποντικι.
    Επίσης θα μπορούσε να δημιουργηθεί ένας βιντεοπροβολέας με ενσωματωμένο raspberry, δηλαδή ένας smart διαδραστικός πίνακας. Έτσι δημιουργείται μια φθηνή λύση για τον εξοπλισμό κάθε σχολικής τάξης!

    pi’s memory transfer speed isn’t that much but we can use pi as security guy, not for fire wall or openvpn stuff but actual security guard that check your bag for a bomb. it’s safe to apt or flatpak but there is still a chance of getting a malware by installing packages. it could be from github (its safe and open-sourcebut every body don’t go through all stuff) or another. it would add another security layer by actually checking for malicious code or files before it make way to your main pc. unlike others they only warn and block sketchy websites and domain, but it doesn’t make you r safe on github.—>>> after giving command for package installation or download the packages will first route to pi-bahadur(securityguard checking for bomb) and if everything is OK it will send those packages to main pc. it’s just like antivirus but outside of your pc not doing party with chrome (eating resources)

    I am REALLY interested in the new capabilities for computer vision.

    One of my ideas is to monitor wildlife both diurnal and nocturnal, using the Camera Module 3 and Camera Module 3 NoIR, while using the improved processing power and PCIe connection to run experiments on identifying individuals in the same species.

    With the power draw of a Raspberry Pi I can leave it running for a longer period without worrying how I would pay for the electricity costs later on. 🙂

    Hallo buyzero-Team,
    toll mit dem Contest. Hier meine verrückte Idee:Ich würde gern mit dem Pi5 eine automatisierte und auch gesteuerte Pflanzen-Gießen-System bauen.Man könnte natürlich das auch mit anderen Systemen bauen, aber dank PCIe-Schnittstelle von PI5 kann ich mir vorstellen, einfach und mit Strom-Sparen eine kleine Wasser-Pumpe anbinden.Damit wenn man im Urlaub ist, oder einfach nicht zu Hause; dank der RP1-Chip, der die On-Board-Peripheriegeräte steuert, kann man ferngesteuert oder Timer-automatisiert die Pflanzen und Blumen gießen. Alles kann man programmieren oder durch Internet von ferne gesteuert werden und bei Bedarf die Pflanzen mit mehr oder eh weniger Wasser gießen.Ich würde gern so ein Pi5 gewinnen.

    My idea would be to use the raspberry pi 5 as a measurement device in a 10-cm diameter hobby rocket payload.

    I would like to record the payload’s pressure, altitude, acceleration, and orientation using an altimeter and an IMU as the rocket launches and drifts back down. I would also take advantage of the two camera ports on the pi 5 to take photographs and videos of the rocket’s view during flight.

    Extracted from my Email (sorry it’s a bit larger idea ^^):

    Dear PiCockpit Team,

    I want to submit you my idea for the current competition for the Raspberry Pi 5.
    The story behind my idea, my father has a battery electric Skoda Citigo-E and in Germany Balcony solar panels get in trend right now, due to high energy prices. The downside of these panels is, that you don’t have a option to store the excess energy you aren’t using right now and you won’t get any money back if you tunnel it back in the grid.
    My approach would be to use a Raspberry to connect to his portable go-e charger Wallbox and control it via the rest API either over the existing Wifi network or with a wired connection to it. So if the sun is shining and the solar panels produce more energy than the dishwasher and the fridge in the kitchen consumes, the wallbox should start the charging process of the electric car. The power consumption of the kitchen is metered over a smart socket which is accessible over the network, e.g. Emporia Vue 2 energy monitor.
    This helps to optimize the electricy bill and makes your home a little bit more green. A lever on the raspberry or wallbox gives you the choice to use this optimized charging mode if you don’t need your car right now or you want to charge the car as quick as possible.
    One downside of this idea with this balcony solar power plants is, that they will only run on one phase of your houses power infrastructure. The go-e will use all three phases in default configuration, but it’s might possible to select the correct/solar powered one over the REST-API if you want to use the optimized mode.

    That’s all about my idea right now. If you want to follow that idea and want to clarify something, just let me know.

    Cheers Marvin

    well, I haven’t seen some in real life before only on YouTube…so I come to my browser and for Free raspberry pi…and your site pop up.. ready to learn and explore..and I so started to learn Python so hopefully it will be of a great
    use to me

    Jag skulle gärna vilja vinna en pi5 då arduino IDE 2 inte ville köra så bra på 4 an, jag håller på med ett större projekt med Raspberry pi pico.
    Nej jag gillar arduinos C kod och IDE miljö, den är enklare vad jag vet än raspberrys C kod som kräver en del mer när man ska kompilera. Skulle någon ha tips på hur man gör processen enkel, lika enkel som arduino så vill jag byta.

    • Lyle Holyoak on October 12, 2023 at 8:59 pm

      How about taking the pi 5 with 2 (or more) cameras mobile, driving around while the cameras are capturing shapes (mountains, trees, buildings, etc) and then importing them into Minecraft (Doom or other FPS type game engine) to play later? just a crazy idea….

    A body tracking machine which precisely track all body movements with a sensor integrated in a human suit and based on that data, AI will make predictions for certain situations. Using this a ultra instinct could be achieved in future but helpful now for collecting some data.

  159. john kenny on October 13, 2023 at 11:14 pm

    I would use it as a general purpose API device to make allowing all apps to work together out of the box, additionally I would use it to run a home automation system and maybe a node on top. I really want to make use of the extra power for a multitude of tasks not able to achieve with prior models

    What if you had a super tricked out roomba style vacuum robot? Some fun features you could add:
    – I have always thought it would be cool to have a turntable on a robot vacuum, so we can add that.
    – While we’re at it we really should make it a Bluetooth speaker for compatibility.
    – The mobility of a robot is suggestive. We could add a shelf on the top and a light sensor of some kind so the robot can host plants and seek out the brightest spot in a tiny apartment for the plants
    – Make the pi navigate to a voice command so that the user can enjoy their drink from anywhere in said tiny apartment without having to move.

    Alternately, make it an outdoor robot:
    – Give it a stick of chalk and enable it to follow lines so that it can draw text out on sidewalks, sketch artwork in vacant parking lots, and power it with an AI image or text creation tool. Keep it fed with a steady supply of chalk, and you could autonomously beautify a small town.
    – Make it a wifi extender so you can be connected while working outside far from your router.

    I have an idea…
    so most of you probably have seen Rick and Morty.
    How about making a slighty bigger version of the butter-bot with a whole set of sentences of the series with a grabbing tool to obviously bring butter or other objects.
    With responsiv and AI generated sentences even. And the ability to rebel depending on the request and generated mood.
    And to top it off why not making it a smarthome assistent like Siri or alexa with the robot voice and responsive answers.
    I’m not sure how the assistent part would work because of the modifying of assistent files and stuff but it would be cool.

    Get 2 mecha kits or robot kits and hook up one raspberry pi 4 to one of the mecha kits and an raspberry pi 5 to the other. And let them fight. Who wins is the winner. We could also add a camera to them and let them use recognition software to fight each other which depends on processing power.

    Another email came in:

    I am a Social Worker and Psychologist and have a dream. I would like to start a RaspberryPi 5 Robot to act as a social companion, emotional support and reminder for lonely elderly people, especially those living with dementia and in social isolation, but also for people who have depression and similar psychosomatic issues. RaspberryPi 5 would fit this project well and is a perfect foundation to use for a social robot. I could install latest Ubuntu, Bot and Robot frameworks to use as a brain for the companion robot. I have a lot of ideas and will use direct users feedback to design, develop and improve the project output. I will soon move to Germany, so this project will be implemented there in English and German languages. Thank you for the consideration of my idea! I look forward to implement this impactful and publicly useful project.

Ich möchte einen RaspberryPi 5-Roboter starten, der als sozialer Begleiter, emotionale Unterstützung und Erinnerung für einsame ältere Menschen wirkt, insbesondere für Menschen mit Demenz und sozialer Isolation, aber auch für Menschen mit Depressionen und ähnlichen psychosomatischen Problemen. RaspberryPi 5 würde gut zu diesem Projekt passen und ist eine perfekte Grundlage für einen sozialen Roboter. Ich könnte die neuesten Ubuntu-, Bot- und Robot-Frameworks installieren, um sie als Gehirn für den Begleitroboter zu verwenden. Ich habe viele Ideen und werde das direkte Feedback der Benutzer nutzen, um die Projektergebnisse zu entwerfen, zu entwickeln und zu verbessern. Ich werde bald nach Deutschland ziehen, daher wird dieses Projekt dort in den Sprachen Englisch und Deutsch umgesetzt. Vielen Dank für die Berücksichtigung meiner Idee! Ich freue mich darauf, dieses wirkungsvolle und öffentlich nützliche Projekt umzusetzen.

    Collaborative art project? Connect 25x 16×16 NeoPixel panels together to form a 80×80 pixel ‘canvas’ using the Pi GPIO pins, then plug in a USB webcam pointing at it. Install a web server on the Pi and allow users visiting a artypi.com (or whatever) to colour one pixel of their choice per 30s using a colour palette picker. The webcam can then show the ‘real world’ look of the panel as it changes. You can then have a live, ever-changing ‘artwork’ on your office wall – it’s like the thing they do on Reddit except you can walk up to it and see it.
    Alternatively, if you’ve got people who know how to drive a stepper motor, you could let people sketch one line at a time onto a whiteboard with a 2-axis home-made plotter. Users are asked to work towards a target thing (e.g. an apple, a car). Each hour, the canvas is wiped and a new ‘thing’ must be drawn. You could have a gallery of previous attempts…

    I would build a Raspberry Pi system to initiate your development environment upon entering the office. The system would use a camera to do face scan to recognize the developers.

    This innovative approach streamlines your workflow, ensuring that your workspace is ready the moment you arrive.

    Moreover, the cost-saving aspect of this setup extends beyond saved time. By starting your development environment automatically, you reduce the risk of unnecessary power consumption when devices are left running idle. This not only lowers your energy bills but also contributes to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly office setup.

    It would do the opposite acion when you leave the office.

    Car-Tell, tie the new Rpi powerhouse into a vehicles touchscreen and possibly obd port. Set a switch option to allow for rpi connection via Android Auto or standard option for phone/external USB. With the Rpi provide either multiple boot options to allow for Kali, media, car diagnostic, sdr, etc… Or an installation that can allow for access to each.

    Kali on the road would be incredible for fully exploring your environment while driving and extemely useful for security work allow mapping and capture of many OiT devices in parking lots and external areas. Provide an option for better antenna and internal devices are now available. Run with a rolling scan for open wifi and/or known public open wifi to send information remotely.

    Really the key is to take advantage of the new power of the 5 and have it installed into your vehicle allowing for extended and potentially stealth observations and assessments. Android Auto is an option but if more direct connects are available those can be utilized.

    I’ve watched several videos on web, relating all the exciting things one can achieve using raspberry pi. I wanna build all those stuff by my own.

    I can’t wait to work on my first computer, that too of a size of a credit card.
    Even if I’ll not win this contest, I thought it would be worth trying cause there’s nothing to lose.

    Raspberry Pi 5 seems to be great for virtualization. There is a port existing for Proxmox: Pimox. You can run either QEMU VMs or LXC software containers. So you can run multiple Raspberry Pis in just one hardware. But what is about the multi-purpose usable GPIOs? Well, for that there is the GPIO extension mode existing where you can turn every Raspberry Pi Zero in an USB attached GPIO Extension. So in theory you can link for every VM an USB attached Raspberry Pi Zero to have your HATs and Shields attached to the virtual Raspberry. Great for modularity to separate Motor and Sensor HATs or to have just SPI, I2C, etc. separated.

    Not a crazy thing, but I’d like to use it for learning. I’ve no experience with Linux and some in programming, so still a lot to learn. I want to be able to program on the go, but I dislike Laptops with a passion since my bad experience with a very expensive Laptop I got as a present from my parents about 10 years ago. So my setup would be with a raspberry, a Touch Display (max 16″) and Bluetooth keyboard. Since I also are interested in electronics some day I’d probably would get some sensors and try things out but as of right now I do not have the resources to do anything with it.
