The parts list for the FireHero 3 may be a little pricey for the above-average, but less than affluent, hobbyist hacker we have in mind. I won’t even bother to try to convince him of the twisted genius of the Toiletcam, which uses light detection to alert outsiders when the loo is free. (The rig might be accessorized nicely with Hackcouture.io’s Pi-based gesture detecting air guitar glove.) Despite the FireHero 3’s built-in safety features, my buzzkill attorney advises me I should not include it in the Top 10 list. Those for whom danger is a middle name might consider building the FireHero 3, a complex system that shoots flames up to 100 feet in the air for a synchronized pyrotechnic backdrop to a rock show. (Ashton Kutcher bobblehead not included.) Pyrotechnics, bullet cameras, and a Toiletcam

Speaking of all things “insanely great,” but not quite useful enough to make our list, why not spend the dark winter months building a Mini Mac? This “world’s smallest working Macintosh” runs a Mac emulator on a well-disguised RasbPi. Perhaps the developers could combine it with the inspired, yet demented, CD-ROM eject helmet, which can perform tasks like ejecting the tray every time one’s tweets have been retweeted. This Raspberry Pi based EEG headgear set for dogs aims to translate canine thoughts into human speech.
Whatever the motivation or goal, they’ve got our attention.Īs a prime example of projects that straddle brilliance and lunacy, this week we learned of an Indiegogo project called No More Woof. More often, the projects verge on the artistic, the conceptual, the obsessed, or the absurd. Sometimes this extra effort results in utility - often by providing a much more affordable alternative to a mainstream technology - and some could form the basis for a successful consumer or industrial product. The Top 10 slideshow published here highlights inspired, yet affordable, Raspberry Pi based projects that go beyond the typical baby cams and rolling camera robots. While the Pi may not be the most open source single board computer available, the infinitely creative ways people use it - and share their designs so freely - reflects the true spirit of open source.

Scores of websites and YouTube videos show how to use the Linux-based embedded boards to do everything from water your lawn to power your next Halloween costume. With over two million Raspberry Pi’s in the field, the number of Pi-based hardware projects has mushroomed accordingly.
