I have wanted to experiment with a Raspberry Pi since I found out about them in mod 2. I have plans to start a few projects that use a Raspberry Pi, one is a soundboard where I would have to set up buttons to use inconjuntion with a Raspberry Pi, and the other would be an audio-visualizer that would listen to sound and trigger a light display. These big plans bore no fruit as I have run into issues with installing the basic software neccessary to use a Raspberry Pi. With all challenges and pit falls comes some great learning opprotunities.
First and foremost I think it is amazing that you can set up a Raspberry Pi to act as an credit card sized computer, it may not have all the functions you expect out a full fledged computer but you can still do some pretty amazing things. I have learned that by installing 'images' onto your Raspberry pi you can experiment with various operating systems like Unbuntu and Linux. Other great projects involve robotics, music, and even ultrasonic sensors. With a little extra time I am very excited to start exploring another aspect of coding.
