What
is Raspberry Pi?
The Raspberry Pi is a small single
board computers developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation in the year 2012 with
the aim of teaching Computer Science in schools and in various developing
Countries.
With the 21st century being
completely obsessed with technology it is a great deal of advantage to develop
projects to meet the technology needs. So Raspberry Pi helps you in this
scenario.
All the models of Raspberry Pi configure
a Broadcom System on a chip (SoC)
with an integrated ARM compatible
CPU and on chip GPU. The processor speed ranges from 700MHz to 1.2 GHz. The
on-board memory ranges from 256MB to 1GB RAM.
The operating system and program memory
are stored using the Secure Digital cards. The Raspberry Pi board consists of a
single USB port or up to four USB ports.
Raspberry
PI Zero
Raspberry Pi Zero was released in
November 2015. This model was smaller in size having twice the utility compared
to previous generation model.
This model had a reduced input/output
(I/O) and general-purpose I/O capabilities.
The various projects of raspberry Pi
zero are:
·
Pi0drone - A
smart drone with pi zero
·
Pedal-pi - Programmable Guitar Pedal
·
Automated
Indoor Gardener
·
Joytone - Unique musical instrument made from
joysticks light and pi 0
·
There are
numerous projects developed using Pi zero.
The
Upgraded Version of Pi zero is the Raspberry Pi zero W
Raspberry Pi 3 Model B
The
Raspberry Pi 3 is the third generation Raspberry Pi released in February 2016.
The
Model B is the newest mainline
Raspberry Pi with on-board WiFi, Bluetooth and USB Boot Capabilities. It has
Quad core 1.2GHz Broadcom BCM2837 64bit CPU.
