Onion Pi
Make a Raspberry Pi into a Anonymizing Tor Proxy!
by lady ada
Feel like someone is snooping on you? Browse anonymously anywhere you go with the Onion Pi Tor proxy. This is a fun weekend project that uses a Raspberry Pi, a USB WiFi adapter and Ethernet cable to create a small, low-power and portable privacy Pi. Plug the Ethernet cable into any Internet provider in your home, work, hotel or conference/event. Power up the Pi with the micro USB cable to your laptop or to the wall adapter. The Pi will boot up and create a new secure wireless access point called Onion Pi. Connecting to that access point will automatically route any web browsing from your computer through the anonymizing Tor network.

Raspberry Pi WiFi Radio
Internet-streamed music around the house
by Phillip Burgess
Raspberry Pi, the little wonder-puter that’s taken the world by storm, is so affordable that we can create single-purpose “appliances” around them without shame. Here’s our take on one of the more popular such applications: internet streaming media, the Pandora music service specifically.
Internet of Things Printer for Raspberry Pi
Build an "Internet of Things" connected mini printer that will do your bidding!
by Phillip Burgess
Build an "Internet of Things" connected mini printer that will do your bidding! This is a fun weekend project that comes with a beautiful laser cut case. Once assembled, the little printer connects wirelessly to get Internet data for printing onto 2 1/4" wide receipt paper.
Large Pi-based Thermometer and Clock
Build a large LED Thermometer / Clock using a Raspberry Pi
by Simon Monk
This project combines a whole heap of modules to enable a Raspberry Pi to power a large 1.2 inch 4 digit 7 segment display. A small switch switches the display between showing the temperature and the current time. The project uses a real-time clock (RTC) to ensure that the Pi always has the correct time, even if it is not connected to the Internet.

Using an IR Remote with a Raspberry Pi Media Center
Control your Raspberry Pi Media Centre with an IR Remote
by Simon Monk
In this tutorial, you will learn how to use an Infrared remote with a Raspberry Pi configured as a media center. The IR receiver is attached to the GPIO connector on the Raspberry Pi.
Raspberry Pi as a Media Center
Turn your Raspberry Pi into a media center
by Simon Monk
he low cost and full HD video playing capabilities of the Raspberry Pi make it ideal for building your own media center. This will allow you to play music and videos through your Raspberry Pi onto a TV.
Adafruit's Raspberry Pi Lesson 13. Power Control
Control 110V devices from your Raspberry Pi
by Simon Monk
In this lesson, you will combine the PIR sensor from [Lesson 12] with the Powerswitch Tail 2 module from Adafruit, to automatically switch something on when movement is detected.
Adafruit's Raspberry Pi Lesson 12. Sensing Movement
Sense movement and doors opening with your Raspberry Pi
by Simon Monk

Adafruit's Raspberry Pi Lesson 11. DS18B20 Temperature Sensing
Measure temperature with your Raspberry Pi using the DS18B20
by Simon Monk
In this lesson, you will learn how to use a DS18B20 with the Raspberry Pi to take temperature readings. Since the Raspberry Pi has no ADC (Analog to Digital Converter), it cannot directly use an analog temperature sensor like the TMP36, making the DS18B20 a good choice for temperature sensing.
