welcome back to the workshop today is
Wednesday March 14th Albert Einstein's
birthday or more popularly known lately
as pi day and there's been a bit of a
tradition for the last couple years of
the Raspberry Pi foundation uses this
day to announce a new version of their
single board computer a Raspberry Pi
this one is called the Raspberry Pi 3 B+
it's a little bit faster than the
previous Raspberry Pi 3 clocking in at
1.4 gigahertz it also has some better
thermal management so you won't have the
overheating issues like you did with
previous models maybe the biggest change
of this one is the wireless radio the PI
will now support Wi-Fi and 5 gigahertz
networks as well as 2.4 and also has
support for Bluetooth 4.2 as well as
Bluetooth Low Energy
there's some new efficiencies in the
wired Ethernet too it should run three
times quicker than previous models plus
with a forthcoming PI hat add-on you'll
also be able to power your PI with power
over ethernet the new PI isn't
especially groundbreaking but it's
better than the previous one in just
about every way of course every part of
the form factor has gone unchanged so it
should drop straight into any of your
previous projects if you're looking for
some classic Raspberry Pi projects to
build with your new PI here's a few
suggestions to get you started
