The development of electronics is inseparably connected with progressing miniaturization and it would be difficult today to indicate an area of technology that would benefit from it to a greater extent than ICT equipment. Modern computers are no longer just stationary "PCs" and laptops - today an efficient computer with a multi-core processor and at least a few gigabytes of RAM can be part of another device. What's more - it does not require high costs, and many models of single board minicomputers (SBC) are within reach of electronic amateurs and makers. The Botland store is a leading distributor of both the main modules and their overlays, cameras, displays, housings and numerous accessories supporting the use of minicomputers.

SBC minicomputers - what are they and what can they be used for?
A single-board computer (SBC) is nothing more than a highly miniaturized motherboard which, in addition to the processor, RAM or communication interface sockets (USB, Ethernet, HDMI, etc.), also has a number of additional modules and functionalities . In many cases, the role of the hard drive is played by... a fast microSD card - this solution, apart from the obvious advantage of very low cost (compared to classic computer drives), also provides incredible flexibility and ease when working on projects based on a minicomputer. There is nothing simpler than removing the card from the slot of a (turned off!) minicomputer and inserting it into a reader on a laptop or desktop computer in order to image the entire file system or perform various modifications that, for some reason, would be difficult to perform from the SBC level itself. . Moreover, single-board minicomputers usually have additional GPIO connectors, not found in standard "PCs", which make connecting the minicomputer with external electronic systems extremely easy, known from simpler platforms, e.g. Arduino. These last two advantages resulted in the enormous popularity of single-board minicomputers in amateur, prototype and academic applications.

Minicomputers - FAQ
A microcomputer (also called a minicomputer) is nothing more than a device with the functionality of a classic, full-size computer, but closed in a highly miniaturized form. A special type are single-board minicomputers (SBC - e.g. Raspberry Pi ), whose construction is based on a single printed circuit board, usually with dimensions not exceeding several centimeters and containing all the necessary base components.
The microcomputer can be used for the same purposes as regular desktop computers and laptops - e.g. for office work, browsing the Internet, or... creating and testing software. However, the advantage of miniature computers is the possibility of integrating them into a larger device, as a main controller or human-machine interface .
