Raspberry Pi Projects:

1. Set up a tiny (3.5″) display on one of the Raspberry Pis -
2. then slap Kali Linux on that device.
3. House Temperature / Humidity Sensor Monitor and  Kitty Cam
4. Media Center – Will it Do Netflix? 

Possible others:

• A Pip Boy!
• Retro Game Machine

Since I’ve recently received for Fur-baby father’s day last Saturday at Micro Center -

(To make the Keyboard behave properly with the Raspberry Pi, I had to do the following -

• Switch to root user.
• Run ‘dpkg-reconfigure locales’ and change from en_GB.UTF-8 to en_US.UTF-8.
• Run ‘dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration’ and change the keyboard to USA PC104 )

Additionally, I still have my Arduino Starter Kit. (from my Birthday haul this year)

I’ve also ordered:

PiTFT Plus 480×320 3.5″ TFT+Touchscreen for Raspberry Pi – Pi 2 and Model A+ / B+ PID: 2441

Raspberry Pi Model B+ / Pi 2 Case Lid – Clear PID: 2257
