So the challenge is, well it's not quite of a challenge as the Raspberrypi 3is a piece of controller that runs at 1.2 Ghz and is a Quad core.

So the thing is some people ( like me ), are getting their Pi's set up and have no bread boards nor jumper wires etc.
Tell us about some nifty tricks people can do and have fun with before they get their set ready!

Plex Media server etc..
Assuming GPIO is what you're expecting to work with, you don't need a breadboard to start building your project.

- Pick a programming language that has a decent GPIO wrapper. (Python is quite common)
- Implement your project by setting expectations for the output/input.
- Install Wiring PI which provides you with a utility for managing and checking the status of your GPIO pins.
- View the status using: gpio readall

Once you receive your set, hook up the components and test.
May I also know from where were you able to get your hands on a RP3?
