Over the past few years, the Raspberry Pi single board computers have climbed from a mere 1GB of RAM to 8 GB. Just last year, people were shocked by the introduction of Raspberry Pi models equipped with 2GB and 4GB of RAM. The Raspberry Pi foundation also cut the price of the 2GB RPi 4…
The power requirements of a Raspberry Pi computer are dependent on the model and usage. However, you must size your power source to accommodate the Raspberry Pi’s highest possible power usage. Afterwards, you can worry about how long your Raspberry Pi battery will last per charge. The use of a 5 Volt lithium-ion battery pack…
The Raspberry Pi Foundation has released their new Raspberry Pi 4 line of single board computers (starting with the Model B). They did some not-so-surprising things for the Raspberry Pi 4, Model B — such as replace the standard HDMI ports with micro HDMI ports. However, you now have two HDMI ports at your disposal,…
The differences between an Arduino and a Raspberry Pi. Both have significant advantages over each other and this explains how those differences affect you.
The Raspberry Pi single board computers (SBC) have been released over the years with incremented model numbers such as the Pi 1, Pi 2 B, 3, 3B+, etc. Now the Raspberry Pi foundation has been updating older models like the A series, as they offer benefits such as a smaller form factor (they can fit…
The new Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3+ has been released. It now offers flash storage up to 32GB, and a heat spreader to improve thermal conductivity.
The Raspberry Pi is a simple single board computer (SBC) that you can use for basic web browsing, turning things on and off via software, and setting up home media centers. However, it isn’t exactly plug and play. This article is specifically for the Raspberry Pi 3 B. If you purchased a Raspberry Pi 3…
Single-board microcomputers such as the Raspberry Pi and Beaglebone Black have made waves in recent years, and microcontrollers have firmly retained their place in electronic designs. Why? After all, the Raspberry Pi has significantly more processing power than nearly all microcontrollers. The 1.2 GHZ quad-core processor in the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B (or 1.5…
The Raspberry Pi Foundation has released the cheapest Raspberry Pi computer yet. The £13 ($20 USD) Raspberry Pi Model A+. The Raspberry Pi A+ consumes a miniscule 1 watt (200 mA or 0.2 A at 5 volts), which is 45% less than the Model B+. This means that most smartphone batteries could power it for 4…
