+25 Raspberry Pi Project Ideas to Put Your Pi to Some Good Use
+======
+
+It won’t be an exaggeration if I call Raspberry Pi a revolutionary gadget. When it was first launched in the year 2011-12, people just couldn’t believe that a computer can be available in just $25.
+
+If you bought a Pi and wondering what should do with my Raspberry Pi, I have got your back. I am going to list some cool Raspberry Pi projects that you can start following in your free time.
+
+These Raspberry Pi project ideas are not limited to Pi. You can use them with other [Raspberry Pi like devices such as Orange Pi, Khadas][1] etc.
+
+### 25 Cool Raspberry Pi Projects
+
+I have listed several these project ideas by categorizing them in terms of the level of complexity (beginner, intermediate, and advanced). Some projects need additional equipment and sensors as well.
+
+Of course, it is worth noting that it will be subjective to what expertise you have. So, let us take a look at the project ideas.
+
+**Beginner Level Raspberry Pi Projects**
+
+#### 1\. Media Server
+
+Building a media server using Rasberry Pi is the most common and probably the easiest project there is.
+
+You can take a look at some of the [best media server software][2] available for Linux and get started.
+
+To know more about it, you can refer to the official documentation of [using Kodi with Raspberry Pi][3] (which is one of the media server software available).
+
+[Using Kodi On Raspberry Pi][3]
+
+#### 2\. Weather Station
+
+![][4]
+
+If you’re good at building projects with electronic components, building a weather station using Raspberry Pi should be fun for you.
+
+This may not be the easiest one to start with – but it’s quite simple if you carefully look into the project requirements.
+
+You will be able to collect weather data using a variety of sensors as per your requirements. The project has been listed on the official website to help you build it as easily as possible.
+
+[Weather Station Project][5]
+
+#### 3\. The Parent Detector
+
+![][6]
+
+Yet another project from Raspberry Pi’s official website, this project uses minimal hardware to set up a motion detector which then triggers a video recording using the Raspberry Pi camera module.
+
+The use-case for this can be a lot of things. If you are a parent, you can keep an eye on your child when they enter their room. In either case, this can also come in handy to keep an eye on your door as a security measure to check when someone arrives.
+
+You can find all the necessary details on Raspberry Pi’s official site.
+
+[The Parent Detector][7]
+
+#### 4\. FM Radio Station
+
+Raspberry Pi is an inexpensive device for making an FM radio station. The pre-requisites may not be much but is worth exploring for fun.
+
+Do note that you may not want to interfere with the local FM frequencies. You can find all the details to set it up by clicking the button below.
+
+[FM Radio Transmitter][8]
+
+#### 5\. Minecraft Game Sever
+
+![][9]
+
+Minecraft is a quite popular game. However, if you want a personal server, you might have to pay a premium.
+
+Fret not, you can use your Raspberry Pi to build a local server, create your own world and have fun with your family/friends.
+
+[Minecraft Game Server][10]
+
+#### 6\. Temperature Log
+
+It was something interesting I found on the official website to help you learn a few things like – how to write data to a file etc.
+
+Here, you will be recording the temperature using the sensor present.
+
+For this, you will be utilizing the command-line to monitor the temperature of Raspberry Pi.
+
+[Temperature Log][11]
+
+#### 7\. Retro Gaming Console
+
+You can turn your Raspberry Pi into a gaming console by simply installing an OS on an SD card and transfer a few files to it.
+
+We also have an article on how you can [turn your old PC into a Retrogaming console][12] if you are curious.
+
+I have linked a resource to help you make this project in the button below:
+
+[Retro Gaming Console][13]
+
+#### 8\. Full-Fledged Desktop
+
+![][14]
+
+If you do not want to invest a lot to build a PC, you can easily utilize your Raspberry Pi to build one.
+
+Technically, your Raspberry Pi will be the heart of your PC and you will need to add accessories (monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc) to turn it into a PC. You can also choose to build a custom case for the board if you want – which is totally optional.
+
+Obviously, the PC won’t be powerful enough for all kinds of tasks – but it will be usable. You can also check out the experience of having [Raspberry Pi 4 as a desktop replacement][15] on their official website as a reference to this project.
+
+[Full-Fledged Desktop][16]
+
+**Intermediate Level Raspberry Pi Project Ideas**
+
+#### 9\. Build a LAMP Web Server with WordPress
+
+If you are into web development, you can try setting up a LAMP (Linux + Apache + MySQL + PHP) server and install WordPress to create a website. You can also choose to make something else from scratch without installing WordPress.
+
+You will be able to access the site on any device on the same network as your Raspberry Pi.
+
+[Build a LAMP Web Server][17]
+
+#### 10\. Laser Tripwire
+
+It is a similar concept to the parent detector that uses a motion sensor. In this case, a laser beam is used to detect activity whenever someone breaks the beam.
+
+You just need a few things to set up the alarm and complete the tripwire. Of course, this is a simple project to start with that has potentially different applications.
+
+[Laser Tripwire][18]
+
+#### 11\. Print Server
+
+What if you can turn your old printer to work on a network of devices even without requiring a built-in WiFi feature?
+
+Well, that’s what this project is about. You will be able to access your printer from multiple devices using a print server. Check out all the details to help build one by clicking the button below.
+
+[Raspberry Pi Print Server][19]
+
+#### 12\. Time Lapse Camera
+
+Looking for a cheap dedicated time-lapse camera? Well, you can do it yourself with a Raspberry Pi.
+
+You can use the Pi camera module or explore other options as well.
+
+[Time-Lapse Camera][20]
+
+#### 13\. Music Box
+
+You can build a button-controlled music box using Raspberry Pi to have a great time with your kids or anyone who loves music.
+
+When you press a button, it will play a sound. You can find the short description of the project in the video above, for more details click on the button below.
+
+[Music Box][21]
+
+#### 14\. Google Home On Raspberry Pi
+
+If you could configure and set up Google Assistant on your Raspberry Pi, you can turn it into an inexpensive Google Home DIY alternative, right?
+
+Fortunately, you can achieve that with your Raspberry Pi. Find out more about it in the video above.
+
+#### 15\. Build Smart TV Box
+
+If you know how to set up a media server on Raspberry Pi (as mentioned in the first project idea of this article), you can make this happen too.
+
+With the help of the Kodi box (or similar), you can build your own personal smart TV box powered by the media server of your choice.
+
+[Smart TV Box][22]
+
+#### 16\. Add Gesture Controls To Raspberry Pi
+
+You can add the ability to have gesture controls for any of your projects on Raspberry Pi using a [Flick board][23].
+
+It may not be the cheapest project but it is an impressive touch for your Raspberry Pi project.
+
+[Gesture Controls][23]
+
+**Advanced Level Raspberry Pi Project Ideas**
+
+#### 17\. Tor Router
+
+If you are someone who wants to explore ways to enhance your personal digital privacy, you can start by building your own local Tor onion router.
+
+With this, you can scramble your Internet connection and remain anonymous with your browsing activities. It is just something like a VPN but technically different.
+
+[Tor Router][24]
+
+#### 18\. Control LEDs with your voice
+
+![][25]
+
+This is quite interesting. I have already mentioned a project where you can set up Google Assistant on your Raspberry Pi. However, in this case, you will be able to control the LEDs with your voice.
+
+You will not need the assistant this time, all you need is the [Google AIY voice kit][26]. This has been featured on the list of official DIY projects using Raspberry Pi, you can get more information there.
+
+[Control LEDs With Voice][27]
+
+#### 19\. WiFi Extender
+
+If you want to increase the range of your WiFi network, you might have to opt for a premium gadget that can help you do that or you can utilize Raspberry Pi to get the job done.
+
+Yes, that’s right, you can build a WiFi extender by just using your Raspberry Pi.
+
+[WiFi Extender][28]
+
+#### 20\. VPN Server
+
+You do not need to trust the VPN providers if you can build your own local VPN server. It can be quite challenging to make it happen.
+
+So, if you are up for some action, you can use your Raspberry Pi to make a private VPN server for your connection. Explore more about it here:
+
+[VPN Server][29]
+
+#### 21\. Home Automation Using Raspberry Pi
+
+A lot of powerful projects can be done using the Raspberry Pi, one of which is – ‘Home Automation’.
+
+If I want to implement home automation, it will be expensive. But, if I end up using Raspberry Pi to create something similar, it will require less investment. Of course, you will have to explore and improve to make it a reliable system but you can get started with the basics.
+
+[Home Automation][30]
+
+#### 22\. Local Cloud Server
+
+You can also build your own cloud using Raspberry Pi. You can also install Nextcloud on it to protect and store your data.
+
+A lot of exciting things to explore once you have your own cloud, right?
+
+[Local Cloud Server][31]
+
+#### 23\. Portable Hacking Device
+
+Let me make one thing clear, I am not encouraging you to do something illegal (just like the movies) by building a portable hacking device.
+
+So, just for educational/testing purposes, feel free to try making your own portable device for hacking using Raspberry Pi.
+
+[Portable Hacking Device][32]
+
+#### 24\. Smart Gloves
+
+Making a pair of smart gloves is really a cool project with Raspberry Pi. In my college days, I witnessed a senior make this thing, it was interesting.
+
+You can refer to the official resource for this project and get started.
+
+[Smart Gloves][33]
+
+#### 25\. Ad Blocker
+
+With Raspberry Pi, you can easily implement a network-wide Adblocker so that you won’t have to install adblockers separately on devices or browsers.
+
+You need to utilize Pi-Hole (the ad blocker) to set it up. Check out the video above and the official resource through the button below.
+
+[Ad Blocker][34]
+
