What is the Raspberry Bay and what can you do with it?
The Raspberry Pi is a very small computer the size of a credit card, but it is quite powerful and it
can run a lot of applications.
So what can you do with this board?
And this is where the Raspberry Pi truly shines.
Here are some examples of projects you can easily make with a Raspberry Pi, can automate your home,
make your personal devices smarter with Iot Internet of things.
You can also be retro gaming console, create a security alarm system, post a server web or mobile
application.
You can even run a Minecraft server on your Raspberry Pi program.
Robots such as the robotic arms, drones, hexapod mobile robots, etc. create a smart mural.
You can also install different operating systems, for example, a Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu Windows
Iot and much, much more.
All simply use the Raspberry Pi as your own portable computer.
And of course, this list is far from being exhaustive.
You can find much more projects online and you can also get inspired to create your own custom projects.
One great thing about Raspberry Pi is the community.
So what does the community bring to you?
Well, for example, you can see what other people do with their Raspberry Pi.
You can ask questions, get some help for more advanced users.
You can also collaborate with other users on similar projects and progress together.
Raspberry Pi is created by the Raspberry Pi Foundation.
The goal of the foundation is to make computers and digital making available for everyone across the
world.
For less than forty dollars.
You can get the Raspberry Pi board and the complete set up with computer screen, keyboard and mouse,
which costs you less than a hundred dollars, which is a very good first step when you compare this
price with the price of any other computer or laptop available on the market.
The first Raspberry Pi board was released in 2012.
Then the foundation has continued to develop new iterations to make the board more powerful and more
functionalities make it easier to use and develop the community.
In 2015, the Raspberry Pi two was released with much more computational power than the first one.
Then the Raspberry Pi three came in 2016 with again more computation power and this time the Wi-Fi feature
was directly integrated in the board.
So you don't have to use a Wi-Fi USB dongle anymore.
Today, the latest version is the Raspberry Pi four released in 2019.
This new version is really great, much better performance than the version three.
A few changes in the external connectors to make it compatible with modern applications and an increased
amount of rum.
In fact, with Raspberry Pi four, you can even choose the amount of ram you want.
The Raspberry Pi two and three had one gigabyte of rum, which was already good.
Now for the Raspberry Pi four, you can choose between two debates for gigabytes and even eight gigabytes
of rum, which is huge for the world.
At the beginning, the Raspberry Pi four was also available with one gigabyte of rum.
But not anymore.
No.
What can you find on the bowl here?
You have the CPU, ram, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chips and all of the components required to make the Raspberry
Pi work.
And let's focus on the connectors.
You have one Ethernet port with gigabit Ethernet for USB port, including two USB, three ports in blue,
one USB port to power on Diebold to micro HDMI ports.
We fouquet video support for two external displays, a Jack Oju output port, one display both for the
Raspberry Pi touchscreen, one part for the Raspberry Pi camera module, a micro SD slot on the back
of the board, and actually you will install the operating system directly on a micro SD card.
And finally, you have a forty beans are your header that we will use a lot during this class to control
different hardware components with both on programming W means general the opposed input output.
This header is the same for the Raspberry Pi to be three B and.
The Raspberry Pi for all right and no, you should have a slightly better idea of what is the Raspberry
Pi?
It's Bilbo's and the applications you can do with it.
