The Raspberry Pi 2 was just release and I had it show up on my doorstep last week.  It’s an amazing little system and I’m finding more and more use for them.  With a memory chip and a case they will run you about $60.  I’ve gone beyond what can one Raspberry Pi do, I am now on to multiple Pi’s each doing something specific.  Here is what I’m currently using them for:

Raspberry Pi B – The Miner

This is my first Raspberry Pi and it’s a B model.  It has a 16GB flash card and loaded with Weezy.  This is the host machine for a couple of Scrypt/Altcoin miners.  These three GAW miners run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week mining me Doge coins and other various items.

Raspberry Pi B – The Tinker

I’ve got this 32GB model B miner on a bread board assembly and us it to tinker around with some electronics fun.  It has an LCD module, pinout board, bread board, camera and other fun items.

Raspberry Pi B+ – The Door

I have a very secure setup to access my network, as talked about in a previous article.  But rather than having the secure access point going to one of my main servers, I have all the traffic received by this Pi.  This Pi then, via more secure methods, allows access to specific other machines.  It’s just one more layer of security to my network.

Raspberry Pi 2 – The Lost Shard

As of late I took this latest model, installed Mono and set it up as a RunUO server.  RunUO is an Ultima Online server emulator.  It’s great and RunUO community has done a great job with it.  It took a little tinkering but as of today I’ve finally got it running.  So now me and my daughter can explore the land of Briatnnia together.

Raspberry Pi – The Future…

I’ve got other things I want to do with Raspbery Pi’s.  With the recent kick in power with the Raspberry Pi 2, I want to get two more.  One to function as the heart of a Mame cabinet, and the other to function as a Minecraft server.
