Raspberry Pi - Who's gonna have a dabble?
Discussion
There is a chap on http://aprs.fi/ that has a live feed from his van/lorry. Cannot find him at the moment.
Looks like a good article here for using an Rpi for music:

This has probably been mentioned already, but can the Pi put out audio to USB port? I'm thinking of getting one to hook up to my headphone amp/dac and have it play music from a external drive.
Bear in mind that you may need a powered USB hub to support the drive, depending on it's power requirements. See here for power details -> https://www.raspberrypi.org/help/faqs/#power

That wouldn't be a problem, my plan is to use it with my desktop amp/dac and a powered drive, good to see that it can power up USB peripherals though.See here for power details -> https://www.raspberrypi.org/help/faqs/#power
2TB drive connected to Pi running Foobar2000 or Kodi, feeding USB audio to a Teac amp/dac, all controlled by android phone over wifi and remote app.
Should work.
The hifiberry could be a decent investment if you're into your audio

While I'm sure it's not to be sniffed at, the specs of the Teac desktop amp/dac are better than the hifiberry https://www.hifiberry.com/ampplus
I have a Pi2 running this: https://uk.flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/build
Easy to set up with some low cost hardware, with interesting results.
I also have a Pi3 running Kodi for media duties.

Holy well timed thread bump! I was just about to post about a NAS RAID using a Pi 3 and 2 x 2TB external hard drives (2.5" or 3.5")! I've done some searching; just logging in to see if anybody has direct experience of this and can advise on suitable drives and has any tips to steer me to a robust set up. Smart TV access (probably KODI) and Android phone auto-syncing to photo folder required.

exactly my aims as well! Smart TV access (probably KODI) and Android phone auto-syncing to photo folder required .fin racer said:
anyone attempted a pi as a NAS server?
My aim is to use it to stream music from an attached ext HD to my incoming brace of Sonos Play 1s
I have the older B model so may have to upgrade
If you have the original B, I'd suggest getting a pi2 or pi3, they work a lot better as servers, they're faster, have more memory and are multicore. My aim is to use it to stream music from an attached ext HD to my incoming brace of Sonos Play 1s

I use a pi3 with an ancient USB hard drive as my music server, and it works very well.
