Its been two years when I got my raspberry pi. Its a 2B. I know its quite old now but I am using this for two years now and didn't have a single problem with it. But now you can grab a Raspberry Pi 3b . Raspberry Pi 3 is and awesome piece of technology because it has all the features of raspberry pi 2 and it also includes with a Wifi and Bluetooth module.
In this project I am going to use my raspberry pi 2b. But you use any raspberry pi.
Thing you are going to need to make this project :
1. Raspberry Pi
2. Memory Card( Minimum 8 gb)
3. 2 Amp Power Supply for Raspberry PI
4. Power Cable
5. Internet Connection
6. Usb Hard Drive
