[SOLVED] Does anybody know any fun projects to do with a Raspberry Pi 3 B+?

[computerjoe314]

I have a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ and was wondering if anybody knows any fun projects to do.
Or, maybe projects that will have me learn more code, as I'd like to do that too.

I’ve seen it a couple of times and looked into it a bit (doesn’t seem that impossible) but a raspberry pi smart mirror seems like a fun project.

I recently started contributing to Flightradar24 with mine:

Flightradar24 — how does it work?

I’m going to hazard a guess and say that everyone whose friends or family have ever flown on a plane, have used Flightradar24 — a free and convenient service for tracking flights in real time. But, if...

It doesn't help you learn to code in any way but it's kinda cool.

Google "raspberry pi 3 projects".

There are dozens of ideas to be found - almost overwhelming.

Take a look and then revise the search criteria to some category of projects that interest you: e.g., "robotics".

And for coding: consider Scratch 3 (MIT):

Good news - there are lots of options. Bad news - you may have tough time deciding what to do.....

There is a project on git which is written in C and C++ which features a graphical interface for point of sale. You are welcome to visit https://github.com/ViewTouch/viewtouch
What you might consider doing as you are learning the code is creating a new look for the touchscreen buttons!

I hardly touched my PI, I set up a basic Samba and HTTP apache server on it with ArchARM that I could access outside home with dynamic DNS, SSH and VNC.

A fun project I did with an old RPi1 was FlightRadar24 monitoring station. Sure, it needs additional $20 for a receiver, it that receiver can be used for other purposes as well.

You can use a Raspberry Pi as a home NAS using USB hard drives. You can also try plugging the pi into a television and use the PI as a shield device to stream games and content from an Nvidia pc using moonlight over ethernet. You can also use it to learn python. Raspbian comes with a version of Minecraft that is fun to play as well.
