Projects using two Raspberry Pis
I now have two raspberry pis. I was wondering if there are any projects I could do using two pis that are easy to do and cheap to do too. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Warning: I am completely clueless!
Re: Projects using two Raspberry Pis
I don't know if you treat this as a project
set up your first RPi to run headless as a server now set your second RPi to run as a client of this server and access this server Headless from a PC.
Second project set your first RPi as a webserver then set up your second RPi as workstation to maintain this webserver.
I have a Model "A" and a Model "B" I also have a berry clip I have the clip attached to the "A" and run this headless attached to my network with a USB Nano Wi-fi. I then have the "B" also with a Nano Wi-fi connection which I access Headless from my PC using Putty the "B" in turn accesses the "A" and this changes states on the berry clip.
These are challenges and there is loads of info on doing this if you want detail I will dig out some stuff but working it out yourself can teach you a lot.

Noob is not derogatory the noob is just the lower end of the noob--geek spectrum being a noob is just your first step towards being an uber-geek

Re: Projects using two Raspberry Pis
Well, I was wondering if having two Pis each with a camera module one could not get into some funky stereoscopic or 3D vision processing.
Just now I'm considering a rack full of Pis that could be used to experiment with fail safe replica sets of MongoDB. Certainly a lot cheaper than firing up multiple server instances on Amazon or whatever cloud service.

Or this...
RPi1 - apache2 webserver with network share (smb)
RPi2 - add a cheap webcam and put the other one on the wireless network running fswebcam to capture an image and save the image across the wireless network to RPi1.
This way, your webserver on your desk is hosting a live webcam stream that is being delivered from across the house, or even on the front door step.
