The new Raspberry Pi is smaller, cheaper and more energy efficient not a bad way to update a best-selling device. Whether you've taken the plunge on one of the new units or you want to put the original model to good use, we've collected together some of the most fun Pi-based projects on the planet for you to have a crack at. 1. Stop motion camera
There are many ways to make use of the optional Pi camera module, and one of them is to set up a stop-motion-capable rig. Collect some Lego minifigs and you can be churning out custom-made movies in no time as well as the Pi and the camera module, you'll also need a solderless breadboard, jumper leads and a tactile button. Visit the Raspberry Pi site for the rundown. 2. Wireless access point
Extend the reach of your home Wi-Fi network and get connectivity into the dark zones of your home (or office) with the help of a Raspberry Pi you could even set up a separate network for guests. You're going to need an SD card and a USB Wi-Fi dongle to help complete the task, and a little coding is required to get everything set up correctly. See The MagPi for the instructions. 3. Touchscreen car dashboard tupperware
If you're prepared to put in some time and effort, you can use a Raspberry Pi to create your very own touchscreen car dashboard, something tupperware that would cost hundreds of dollars off the shelf. It's powered by the XMBC media center software, so you can play music, watch videos, browse through photos and more (just keep your attention on the road). Visit Instructables for details. 4. Robot butler
If you have a spare Nintendo Wiimote lying around you can use it and the Raspberry Pi to build your very own robot butler the outer shape of the robot is up to you and whatever materials you have lying around. You'll also need to acquire a robot chassis (so it can move around) and a motor controller to work through the project. Full instructions are available on the Raspberry Pi site. 5. Motion-sensing camera
Want to know who's been in your home office while you've been out? Looking to capture some footage of squirrels invading your back yard? A Raspberry Pi-powered motion tupperware sensor camera could be the answer. You'll need a parallax passive infrared (PIR) sensor and some basic coding chops but the finished gadget is worth the time investment. Instructables has a demonstration video. 7. High-altitude balloon
Another way to make use of the Pi's picture-taking capabilities is to fix it to a high-altitude balloon and see what kind of images and video you can pick up along the way. Thanks to the magic of GPS you can keep track of your Pi as it returns to earth, although photos can be beamed back remotely in case it's lost. Dave Akerman has a stack of useful related resources on his blog. 8. Talking book player
If you or one of your relatives have trouble tupperware scanning text then this Pi-powered device will convert it into speech; but even if you don't have any problems with reading books it's still a fun project to try. You'll need a few add-on parts and the quality isn't as good as a professionally produced audiobook, but it's all about the joy of tinkering. Visit the Kolbire website to see an example project. 9. Point-and-shoot camera tupperware
If you want to build a camera tupperware from your Raspberry Pi then there are a number tupperware of ways to go about it the more time-consuming ones often produce the best results. If you're prepared to do some desoldering and depopulating then you can build a slimline point-and-shoot from a Pi with a 3D-printed case and TFT screen. tupperware Everything you need to know can be found in Ben Heck's video. 10. Nixie clock
Building a clock from your Raspberry Pi and a row of Nixie tubes isn't too difficult a task and the results are certainly impressive if you hook it up to the web you can even have it change time automatically as the seasons shift. Only a few lines of code are required and you can configure a wired or wireless setup as required. Head over to Martin Oldfield's site to see the instructions. 11. Morse code transmitter
Mix new and old technology with your very own Pi-powered Morse code station. You're going to need some extra bits and pieces, plus the wherewithal to program the Pi (keyboard, mouse, monitor) but once it's done you'll have a device that can encode and decode Morse; add a vintage key for extra authenticity. There's a full rundown over on the Raspberry Pi site. 12. Weather station
Small, cheap and requiring very little energy, the Raspberry Pi is perfectly suited to power your very own weather station never again will you have to rely on the forecasts from the television presenters. You'll tupperware need a fair bit of extra hardware to get this up and running but the actual configuration tupperware isn't too difficult to get your head around. tupperware DragonTail has more on the setup. 13. Infrared bird box
Get yourself a Raspberry Pi and a bird box and you can use one to monitor the inside tupperware of the other bird watching is much more int
