Happy Pi Day β€” Share Your Favorite Raspberry Pi Projects & Posts! πŸ₯§

In honor of this year's Pi Day, March 14th (aka 3-14), I'd like for everybody to share an interesting Raspberry Pi-focused project or post in the comments section below!

It can be something you created or wrote, but it doesn't have to be! If it's someone else's project or post, just make sure to give them credit... and if they have a DEV account, consider @mentioning them.

Note: If you plan to link to something, you might consider embedding it instead. For instance, you can embed a YouTube video or link to another DEV post using the following syntax {% embed https://... %}.

Dang! That sounds so dope, Lev.

I'd love to create something like that for wife, Katelyn. I got a Raspberry Pi 2 that's kinda just collecting dust right now.

Katelyn has loads of plants and I'd love to find some kinda use for the Pi for her gardening. She has a little greenhouse outdoors and recently it got way too warm and essentially murdered her plants... I'm thinking maybe I should set up some sort of temp/humidity gauge to send a message to her if it goes outside of a certain range.

I haven't looked that hard yet, but I bet there are projects with instructions out there that I could follow.

Several years ago, I created voice-activated lights with a Raspberry Pi for my disabled daughter, who couldn't reach the light switch. As a first attempt, it wasn't bad.

Oh crap I forgot I’ve been waiting KIC hell since couple days ago with pie they just finally popped me through. I need to go check my account really fast and I’ve been spending a lot of time buying inventory or stock on OpenSea for this crypto mining adventure called crop bites, so get a lot of stuff on there for latch cheaper than they can off their site and you can avoid the ginormous ethereal markup.

My favorite fact about Pi number is:
245850922/78256779 === Math.PI is true in JS, so it's a rational number for js :D
