The document outlines 21 diverse uses of the Raspberry Pi, a compact computer originally created for educational purposes. It highlights its applications in robotics, web hosting, home automation, personal cloud services, telecommunication, and smart devices. The Raspberry Pi's versatility allows users to engage in creative technological projects while maintaining low power consumption.

1. USES OF RASPBERRY PI
The first model of Raspberry Pi was developed in the UK for the promotion of
teaching basic computer science in schools. It has size that of a credit card and can
be plugged into computer monitor or TV, and has the capability of doing everything a
Desktop PC can do. Let’s have a look into 21 great uses of Raspberry Pi.

2. 1. Building a Robot with Raspberry Pi
 If Raspberry Pi could have a second name, it would have definitely been a
Robot. Raspberry Pi can be used as the main brain in drones and Remote-
Controlled Planes. A robotic arm can also be made with it which can hand
over to you a cup of Coffee.

3. 2. Hosting a Website
 A Raspberry Pi can be used as a web server. You can host your own personal
website or a Professional one by installing the right software and libraries.
The advantage is that it requires less power and can be used on local network
instead of the internet.

4. 3. Forecasting Weather
 Temperature and air humidity can be measured with the help of Raspberry pi.
You just need a breadboard, jumper wires and the right type of sensors to
sense and predict the weather

5. 4. A Desktop Computer
 A computer monitor, keyboard, mouse and a hard disk for extra storage is all
that you need to build a home PC. It will need its own operating system as it
can’t run Windows or MacOS.

6. 5. Wi-Fi Extender
 If you are having a Wi-Fi connection problem at the corner of your home,
then Raspberry Pi can act as a booster for you. It is cheap and directly
connects to your Wi-Fi adapter.

7. 6. Making a Minecraft game
 Raspberry Pi can play an addictive game for you. The Raspberry Pi will act as
the Server for the Minecraft. But the downside is that you cannot have more
players and high graphics.

8. 7. Smart Home
 Your House can be controlled remotely with the help of Raspberry Pi. Be it
your light switches, security cameras and Washing machine. You just know
basic programming and the right electronic for a specific task.

9. 8. Virtual Private Network
 If you are in a country where there is ban on social websites, then there is no
need to worry. Your Raspberry Pi can act as a cheap VPN without consuming a
large amount of power and can handle few connections efficiently.

10. 9. Raspberry Pi Cloud Server
 Your Raspberry Pi can act as a one drive or Dropbox and you just need the
Own Cloud Software to be installed into it.

11. 10. Telephone with Raspberry Pi
 The Raspberry Pi can make calls for you and the cost of making a phone is
much likely that of an ordinary smart phone available at local market.

12. 11. Printing Server
 The Common Unit Printing System and the associated sharing software with
the Raspberry Pi can make a complete Printing System for you. The main
purpose of the Raspberry Pi here is it will ensure the computer Windows can
access the printer via a network.

13. 12. Camera
 If you want to take photos or videos, capture and save files or stream to the
internet, a Raspberry Pi is there for you. All you need is an
infrared LED attached to it. You can also use it to monitor your pet or a CCTV
at the door of your entrance.

14. 13. Making a Raspberry Pi Twitter Bot
 A twitter bot will tweet, retweet, like based on the programming code you
have written on your Raspberry Pi. You need to develop twitter API and then
connect it with your Raspberry Pi.

15. 14. Radio Station
 A Raspberry Pi can act as a FM Radio Signal transmitter by using the Spread
Spectrum Clock Signal. You can broadcast live by using advanced tools with
your Raspberry Pi

16. 15. AI Assistant
 Just as many Assistants available they’re at the market, one can make an
assistant with the help of Raspberry Pi which can set be as an alarm clock or
tell you weather news.

17. 16. Distance Sensor
 One of the fantastic Do It Yourself project is you can make a distance
measurement device with Raspberry Pi.

18. 17. Smart TV
 Just as a Desktop PC, you can make a TV by connecting Raspberry Pi with a
monitor or Screen and installing the necessary software.

19. 18. Wireless Video Surveillance Robot
 Once you know that you can build Camera and Robot with Raspberry Pi, the
next step is to combine both of these projects and build a video surveillance
that can be wireless controlled

20. 19. Live Streaming
 You have online apps and websites built for live and video calling, but that
uses a lot of bandwidth. A Raspberry Pi can be helpful to build a Live-
streaming app for you that is cost efficient.

21. 20. Smart Mirror
 A magic mirror which is a webpage run from a web server housed inside your
Raspberry Pi will show futuristic displays like daily weather, calendar, etc.

22. 21. Ultra-Power Supply
 If you are making a project which requires consistent power supply,
Raspberry Pi can help you by acting as an Ultra-Power Supply device.
