RPi Projects

Introduction
This page contains a set of ongoing projects. When complete, these projects will create new applications or card images or tutorials or guides. Anybody is welcome to help.

The Raspberry Pi Forum has a list of Project Ideas & Links, to help people get started.

Please add links to your projects (and ones you find interesting).

Fill in each section:
 * Project Title (as a link to the project webpage or connected wiki page)
 * Project Description (including any additional links or information
 * Skill Level/Ages it is aimed at (Any/Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced)
 * Tags (Keywords related to the project, i.e. LCD Screen, Teaching, Python)
 * Author(s) or the group who are producing it (also if it is an Open/Community Project for anyone to contribute)
 * Project Status (Theory/Not Started/In-Progress/Available).

BerryTerminal
BerryTerminal is a project to turn the Raspberry Pi into an affordable thin-client. It allows the user to login to a central Edubuntu or other LTSP (Linux Terminal Server Project) server, and run all applications on the central server.

Advantages of using a central server include:

Any Thin client, terminal, Edubuntu, LTSP Floris Bos - Open Project First beta released
 * Greatly simplifies management.
 * Applications only need to be installed to the central server, and are then available on all Raspberry terminals.
 * Only need to backup the central server, instead of the individual Raspberries.
 * Because the applications run on the central server, they are not affected by the resource limitations Raspberries have, allowing users to run applications like LibreOffice.

Raspberry pi... In a laptop
Me and my colleagues are starting a computer company and we are making our first prototype with a raspberry pi! Slim,Sleek, and just plain awesome! Boy, Will this be interesting! Of course it is just a prototype and speed doesn't matter in this case. Stay tuned here and here! Various. Prototype, Laptop hackery21 - Suggestions Accepted In-Progress

Arr (Audio relay raspi)
The idea is to create a wireless speaker. Being able to get audio from smartphones or computers. Protocols like DLNA, Airplay and A2DP could be supported. An advanced option could be to use pulse audio libraries from linux to synchronize music on multiple raspis. The speakers attached to the raspberry pi could be a commercial ones or your HiFi but we are also thinking about some DIY solutions. For instance one could install the raspi and the speakers on the ceiling of multiple rooms. Any DLNA, Airplay, Pulse, Audio, Music, Speaker, HiFi Jordi - Open Project In-Progress

WiringPi
WiringPi is a library by Gordon Henderson which seeks to bring easy GPIO access in both shared-memory and /sys/class/gpio modes to the Pi. The WiringPi project seeks to wrap this library for a variety of languages, creating a standardised way of working with the Raspberry Pi hardware.
 * vertical-align:top; border:1px solid #aaa;" |

WiringPi currently works with C, Ruby, Python and Perl.
