Collection: Raspberry Pi

Raspberry Pi is a series of small, affordable, single-board computers developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation. Designed to promote the teaching of basic computer science in schools and developing countries, it has become popular among hobbyists and makers for a variety of projects.

Key Features:

• Compact Size: Raspberry Pi boards are small and lightweight, making them easy to integrate into various projects.

• Versatile Connectivity:

  • USB Ports: Multiple USB ports for peripherals like keyboards, mice, and storage devices.
  • HDMI Output: Supports video output to monitors and TVs.
  • Ethernet and Wi-Fi: For network connectivity (varies by model).
  • GPIO Pins: General-purpose input/output pins for connecting sensors, motors, and other hardware.

• Multiple Models: Various models are available, including:

  • Raspberry Pi 4: Powerful with up to 8GB RAM, suitable for desktop use and more demanding applications.
  • Raspberry Pi Zero: A smaller, more affordable version for lightweight projects.

• Operating System: Typically runs on Raspberry Pi OS (formerly Raspbian), a Debian-based Linux distribution, but also supports other operating systems.

Applications:

• Educational Use: Widely used in schools for teaching programming and electronics.
• DIY Projects: Popular for home automation, robotics, and IoT (Internet of Things) projects.
• Media Centers: Can be configured as a media center using software like Kodi.
• Prototyping: Ideal for rapid prototyping of electronic devices and applications.

Specifications (Raspberry Pi 4 Model B):

• CPU: Quad-core ARM Cortex-A72 (1.5GHz).
• RAM: Options of 2GB, 4GB, or 8GB LPDDR4.
• Storage: MicroSD card slot for storage.
• Power Supply: Powered via USB-C (5V/3A).
