I wanted it back so I moved it over to another system.

It’s very impressive. Really happy with my unit.

My next project with one is to make a vintage console to play all my favorite old games on, plus I’m hoping it will spark my daughters interest in an engineering field. She’s really young but I’m thinking the sooner I can spark the fire the better it will be for her.

There are just way too many fun things to do with them. I own multiple B’s v1 and B+ v1 and too many SD cards to mention. My projects so far have included, but not limited to:
Kodi Media Center
goPigo robotic kit (my son and I assembled, programmed, and controlled through iPhone for his science fair project)
Flight controller for quad-copter with GPS, complete with Sensor for Alt, pressure, and temp
HUD for display of Solarwinds NOC
As you can tell, I am having way to much fun. And I have yet to try out the PI B v2!! Let us know how your adventure goes!

Flashed the OpenELEC system on the microSD card and it’s been working wonderfully for them playing 1080p video streams. For myself I got a Firefly kit based on the much more powerful Quad core ARM Cortex-A17 processor. I am just starting to poke at it to see what it can do, but it is already impressive. I think it could be a desktop replacement for many people and it’s just a bit bigger than the Raspberry Pi.
