your Raspberry Pi turn dumb speakers into smart
music solutions with Volumio (fave.co/2W3hQqu)
and Rune Audio (fave.co/2vLfcv2) (pictured), both
of which offer mobile apps so you can control your
tunes with your phone.
- Learn programming
You could always use the Raspberry Pi as it was
originally intended, too: as a low-cost introduction to
programming and computer science. The mini-PC’s
loaded with all sorts of software that encourages
deep-level tinkering. Beyond the command-line
terminal, you’ll need to wade in often, you’ll also
find versions of Wolfram Mathematica, Python program
creation tools and Scratch, an animation coding
IDE for children, in the Raspbian operating system
(fave.co/2xuuMf3) that the Raspberry Pi Foundation
encourages new users to install.
