![]() ![]() The Raspberry Pi Foundation partnered with third parties with the free online community called the Code Club offers a global network of free coding clubs for 9- to 13-year-olds. Some of the software tools include Scratch or Python to learn to program, while the Pi Camera Module is an example of hardware accessory that can be attached to the Raspberry Pi SBC. The Raspberry Pi is extensible thanks to hardware accessories, and add-on boards called HAT ( Hardware Attached on Top), and an extensive ecosystem of software tools and packages that can be leveraged to create more complex projects. There is an easy-to-use online guide that helps new users figure out what they can do with their Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi is also designed to be simple enough that school children can operate it and learn how to set up various projects with the help of their educator. So what can you do exactly with a Raspberry Pi? Since Raspberry Pi boards run a fully-fledged Linux operating system, they can run advanced applications like office suites, photo editors, as well as server applications such as an Apache or nginx web server, setup OpenVPN or WireGuard with your favorite VPN service, run a BitTorrent downloader in the background, build a NAS for your network storage needs, etc… Connect the power, and you are ready to use the board. ![]() Once it’s done, insert the microSD card into your board, connect it to a display, USB keyboard and mouse, and optionally your Ethernet router. You will have to install an operating system, preferably Raspbian for beginner, on the latter using NOOBS installer. While the Raspberry Pi is sometimes sold as part as of a turnkey kit, it often comes barebone, meaning you’ll need to add accessories include a 15W+ USB-C power supply and a microSD card. There are also USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports to connect peripherals, as well as a gigabit Ethernet port and a WiFi & Bluetooth module for respectively wired or wireless networking connectivity. However, when connected to a monitor, USB keyboard and mouse, the Raspberry Pi is just like an entry-level Linux computer.Īvailable at an affordable cost of $35 and up for a Raspberry Pi 4, the system features 2GB or 4GB of RAM, as well as USB-C port for power, and two micro HDMI ports for connecting to up to two displays. To the uninitiated, the Raspberry Pi does not look like a typical computer. These small computers were initially designed to teach students the basics of computer science, but they’ve found their way into various projects including commercial products. The Raspberry Pi is a lineup of single-board computers (SBCs) that are from the UK and were first introduced in February 2012. In this post, we’ll look at the use cases and strong points for each of the boards whether you are just dabbling in the hobby of coding and DIY electronics, or you have a commercial project. The most popular include the kid-friendly Raspberry Pi SBC that was designed with children in mind, Arduino boards for electronics projects, and more recently boards and modules based on EspressifESP8266 and ESP32 wireless SoC’s. When it comes to choosing a platform for STEM education or hobbyist projects, there are a number of low-cost, compact maker boards on the market.
