So, I bought a Pi from mkawa a while back, and I'm slowly going through the process of getting bits and pieces together so I can do some nice things with it. I bought This off massdrop (
https://www.massdrop.com/buy/pitft-assembled-2-8-tft-touchscreen) to go with it, just because it was there, like I typically do, without any thought of how/if I would use it.
My initial idea was to use it as an always on torrenting machine, and turning on remote access so it could just sit somewhere in my house with a hard drive attached. But with this screen, I would like to maybe do something else with it.
I'm not looking for anything novel like a remote controlled car, or a mini arcade machine, but something useful that I might use every day/week. I have a little Unix experience but no Linux experience to speak of, however I do have a couple of Pi beginner's guides I can call on.
Also, if anyone else has a Pi already, what have you done with it? What are you planning? How easy do you find using it?
