https://retropie.org.uk/ time to wipe the dust off those pi's
I have started to utilise mine recently.
Bought an Energenie Pi Hat and now control sockets through Alexa with IFTTT.
Set up one as a VPN for the lads on the rigs so they can get access to betting sites etdc
Got another couple acting as Pi Security Cameras with PIR's which automatically arm and disarm the service based on detection of your MAC address of your phone(s) - https://github.com/FutureSharks/rpi-security
Set up an Arcade machine running RetroPi and now going to have a bash of setting up Alexa in the car using one to control radio/music and control stuff away from the house.
Lot's of life in them and Google has just started a division working on Pi projects which should create some useful stuff.
My retropie arcade machine is going strong and used pretty much daily. I never finished it off (of course) and the missus is still planning some artwork for the sides but I love it and it was one of the best 'from scratch' projects I've done.
My build started around this post ...
