Maker Monday: Show us your personal Raspberry Pi projects

We had an excellent time scrolling through all of the cyberdeck projects we were tagged in last week, so this Maker Monday, we’re celebrating some of our other Raspberry Pi–based favourites from the maker community, as chosen by the Raspberry Pi Official Magazine team.

Drop a link in the comments to your latest creation, even if it’s only partially finished — you might find someone with a tip to help you over the line.

01. Hacky Racers is making its way back!
02. It really does make for a lovely workstation
03. We feature more projects from the party on page 120 of this issue
04. Stock tickers are easy little web API projects that look good on e-ink
05. Stable voltages can be essential for healthy systems
06. Is this the world’s smallest weather station? Probably not, but it is tiny
07. The GameCube had special miniDVD-size discs, which were its own
proprietary format
08. We do love when a screen can power and display Raspberry
Pi desktops

I’ve been using a Pi as my main workstation for several years. Currently it is a Pi5 with active cooler and Pimoroni NVMe Base.

Description
If you are using a Raspberry PI or have a USB add on for your PC with GPIO pins (MCP2221A USB to Gpio Adapter Board) you can have LEDs to flash on disk drive read and write. I will use python for this.

Almost done making a pool system controller with water temp differential for solar heater, ORP and PH sensing for chlorine level, and a few relays for pool lights, deck lights and valve actuator controls. Touchscreen and web control enabled. Just need to install it in the pump house now.

This is the *second* Pi-powered pool monitoring system I have heard about this week.
