Total beginner and I just bought a Raspberry Pi and I'm looking to jump right in...just curious how long did it take you to get accustomed to the pi and what did you make with it? Thanks!
I made a bandwidth 'monitor' using my Pi and two tachometers using the GPIO port and monitoring the gateway.<p>So just make something you think would be cool!<p>Raspian is not really any different from other distros tbh.
I've been loving this project <a href="http://www.woutervanwijk.nl/pimusicbox/" rel="nofollow">http://www.woutervanwijk.nl/pimusicbox/</a>. It allows me to stream spotify through my speaker system.
I also bought a minimal box of hardware to play with: buzzer, LED, breadboard, wires, etc., with booklet.<p><a href="http://www.monkmakes.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.monkmakes.com</a>
