Here are three suggested projects for the Magni 6 Mini. Using the short-range Lidar and the Pi Camera:

- **Room Mapping Starter**: Create a 2D map of your environment using the short-range LIDAR and Ez-Map software. Ideal for learning SLAM basics.

    See: :doc:`../projects/ezmap`


- **Obstacle Avoidance**: Program the Magni 6 Mini to navigate around obstacles using the short-range LIDAR for proximity detection. Perfect for beginners experimenting with autonomous navigation.

    See: :doc:`../projects/obstacle_avoidance`

- **Live Video Patrol**: Use the Raspberry Pi Camera to stream live video, turning the Magni 6 Mini into a mobile surveillance bot. Great for remote monitoring.
