Things you can do with Raspberry Pi

With a small circuit with a bank card like a Raspberry Pi worth about $ 50, what can be done? If you bought a Raspyerry Pi and you don’t know what to do, let’s take a look at what you can do with it!

Where to buy Raspberry Pi?

If you have finished reading this article and want to try Raspberry Pi applications but don’t know where? Personally, I think you can buy it at the following 4 addresses: Mlab, Hshop, banlinhkien and RaspberryPi.vn or you can visit Number 84, Dai Co Viet, Hanoi or No. 71 Ngo Quyen – Ward 6 – District 10 – Ho Chi Minh City to be able to check directly!

Which version of Raspberry Pi should I buy?

In my opinion, if you use Raspberry Pi depending on your needs. The Raspberry Pi version I find most affordable is the Raspberry Pi 4 version B with 4 GB of ram, which is affordable for you, but the hardware is enough to use for powerful tasks. When choosing, you should choose SD memory card with high speed!

Things you can do with Raspberry Pi

Small PC

If you want to have a super small computer, the Raspberry pi will be a great choice. All you need besides raspberry pi is 1 monitor, 1 hdmi cord, keyboard and mouse and you have a great computer. With Raspbian operating system, you can use it to surf the web or use software on linux easily. In addition, Raspbian comes with LibreOffice – software similar to Microsoft Office and Chrominum so you can use it after installation.

Wireless printer

Probably many of you here are using some kind of printer, but this printer does not have wireless printing function. Don’t worry, Raspberry Pi can turn into a device that receives data wirelessly and sends it to a printer. We can make it not only wireless, but we can also make it a cloud printer. You can set up a server and when the machine has a network connection, you can print it through the browser without having to be there.

Smart TV

If your TV is too old or you want to create your own smart TV, Raspberry pi can help you. By downloading Kodi to Raspberry and connecting to TV, you have a genuine Smart TV with tons of movies and entertainment channels. With the Raspberry Pi 4, you have so much more when the Pi4 is capable of delivering images with 4K 60fps resolution.

Create Minecraft Server

Between renting Hosting for Minecraft Server or buying Raspberry Pi and hosting my own minecraft server, I will choose to buy Raspberry pi. With the 4Gb ram version, you can host a server for 10 people to live together or play mid-sized mini games like bedwar or skywar without fear of lag. Not to mention with hosting as Pi, you will have a godly speed when if you are near wifi, the highest is probably 30ms.

What you need to do is install Ubuntu server for Raspberry Pi and follow the instructions here.

Create Webserver

If you want to create a cheap Webserver, Raspberry Pi is the optimal choice for you. you just need to install ubuntu server and install apache to be able to create a simple website. you can see more instructions to create Nextcloud here

Smart home

1 Smart home used to be the dream of many people but now, with raspberry pi, it has become simpler than ever. All you need is a little knowledge of python, a Raspberry Pi and a few tools needed to do it, and you can create a smart home.

Install Windows 11

With Windows 11, you will need a TMP 2.0 chip, but with Pi, you do not need to and can still install and experience Window 11 like on your computer. Since the chip running on the Pi is Arm, it will take you a bit of time to install it, but with a 4-core cpu and the version I’m using is 4GB of ram, it doesn’t make any difference to my computer.

That’s all I can do with Raspberry Pi. How about you? Leave a comment if you have an idea to use Pi!
