Maybe you picked up a Raspberry Pi for the holidays, or you’ve been sitting on one of the super versatile, palm-sized computers for a while now. If you’ve been wondering how to get started with yours, or what you could build that’s worthwhile, here are ten great ideas.
A Raspberry Pi Zero Drone. Apart from a drone and the Raspberry Pi Zero (obviously), this project requires a PXFMini autopilot board, and a special Linux OS image. Once done, the autopilot board can create its own Wi-Fi using a USB dongle, and use a common game path to control the drone through a ground control station.

Raspberry Pi: It is one of the trending and in demand object in the field of computers and electronics. Also this is very low cost (the latest model costs only $35), high computing capacity, different connectivity options (there are 40 General purpose I/O pins) and extremely small size. Here, we have curated solid list of raspberry pi projects for electronics students with category wise, which include both electronics and computer programming (like Python), hope this will helps you.
Raspberry Pi is a cheap, credit-card sized, fully featured computer that can do almost anything a desktop computer can do. It is developed by the Raspberry Pi foundation to explore computing, and to learn how to program in languages like Scratch and Python for people of all ages. With Raspberry Pi, we can watch videos, surf the web, learn to program, hack and even can be integrated with electronic projects. As of June 2015 more than 6 million Raspberry Pis have been sold.
A Raspberry Pi is actually a PCB with chips, components and sockets stuck on it. The latest model of the Raspberry Pi is called Raspberry Pi 3 Model B. It has a Broadcom SoC powered by ARM Cortex CPU and runs on Linux OS. It has an HDMI port, 4 USB ports, Ethernet port and a combined port for 3.5mm audio jack and composite video.
