There's general purpose IO pins on it, but I'm not too flash at soldering.<br /><br />Anything USB can be stuck into it - I have an old TV stick for example (I just couldn't get the thing working well).<br /><br />Clearly, this almost immediately begs for http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/8a0f/ to be plugged in and hooked up.<br /><br /><br /><br />@Darren - Did have a look at those a few weeks back, and some are fairly interesting; but I think I'd be a lot happier with something more home automation focused (less soldering! More UPnP!)<br /><br />I wish I had a nest and a lockitron - I can't seem to talk to my Samsung Aircon except via the official app at the moment; and finding my keys... forget it!<br /><br />Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07488865674446632285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088824.post-52243809538109255302013-01-13T17:56:34.192+10:302013-01-13T17:56:34.192+10:30Cool, so many options pingbin.com/2012/12/30-cool-...Cool, so many options pingbin.com/2012/12/30-cool-ideas-raspberry-pi-project/<br /><br />While not raspberry pi as such, it's all part of the internet of things - these are what I'm looking at at the moment:<br />moorescloud.com<br />lockitron.com<br /><br /><br />Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08518626081770021506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088824.post-51290062652399805732013-01-08T08:23:55.262+10:302013-01-08T08:23:55.262+10:30My brother described the Pi as an answer waiting f...My brother described the Pi as an answer waiting for a question! It's such a cool piece of technology, but then you don't know what to do with it.<br /><br />Around 2004 I was visiting a nursing home and saw a resident who had gone deaf through old age and the nurse trying to speak to him. And I thought: If only we had a miniature cheap computer with speech recognition software, a microphone and a display, the staff would be able to speak to him without any trouble.<br /><br />Those things are now available, but I guess the smartphone is the main platform for anything like that.Erichttp://mappage.net.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088824.post-82690273642662492052013-01-08T05:59:16.445+10:302013-01-08T05:59:16.445+10:30What sensors does it have?What sensors does it have?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
