By JOE BROWN
Christmas Lights
With some programming knowledge, you can use your old Raspberry Pi to create and automate a Christmas light display.
You will need cheap, addressable LED lights and a breadboard to create a simple circuit connecting your Pi to the lights. Then, program the functions for the display.
Photography
Using the Raspberry Pi camera module, you can create impressive time-lapse photography. For this creative project, make sure you have Raspberry Pi OS installed.
You can use a basic for loop to take a set amount of photos and the sleep() command to add a gap between each of your photos.
Home Theater
Thanks to the free, open-source media center Kodi, your old Raspberry Pi can become a customized home theater and stream content from various platforms.
Practically any Raspberry Pi can handle Kodi Media Center, including the miniature Raspberry Pi Zero. Simply install the app on your device to get started.
