Project for my university

I am a freshmen electrical engineering. I have no experience of any practical work except a bit of working on breadboards. I want to work on a project related to rasberry pi in my winter break to learn and for experience. Can anyone advice any cheap project I can work on related to my field which will help me?

 

Robot arm raspberry pi

Thank you for the idea but dont you think it is really complex and expensive? I mean how can I make such a large robot arm? Would it not be expensive? And considering the fact that this will be my first project as I am just a beginner.

Hi there Muhammad,

I think a Linux PC would be a good start.

All you need is the Raspberry Pi (or the newer Raspberry Pi 2 if you can afford the little extra cash), a USB monitor, USB mouse, and an SD card with Raspbian Jessie installed (or the Lite OS if the download is too burdensome). You can use it to play with Python, which is a very popular and useful programming language that runs on Linux.

If you have any other questions on the project, feel free to hit me an e-mail at justinmamaradlo@gmail

Warm Regards and Happy Holidays,
Justin
