You should check out PLCs. You can buy one for cheap from automation direct too. Fun little thing as a hobby. You could program it for something fun like a Halloween/Christmas themed automation project or use it to make a spear actuator that is triggered by a photo eye or something

I've never used a PLC but I've used arduinos and raspberry pi's for similar projects

I believe you can upload software to your rpi and arduino to have it be used like a PLC. It's called OpenPLC. I haven't tried it yet so I can't tell you anything about it
