Raspberry Pi
These days, embedded systems are a fundamental part of many consumer electronics devices and professional industrial heavy-duty applications. The term “embedded system” is often associated with a single-board computer (SBC). It’s a credit card-sized programmable electronic device that has similar features to a standard computer running on Linux or Windows OS. In most cases, single-board computers are widely used as control units in diverse applications such as home automation, wireless communication, industrial processing in factories, electronic toys, gaming machines, and many more. One of the most popular single-board computers which can be implemented in such devices is Raspberry Pi - an amazing tool for learning embedded computing and prototyping electronic devices. Plug in a mouse, keyboard, LCD display and enjoy a full-fledged computer. What is more, If you want to add some practical functionality to your Raspberry Pi, you can connect it with external hardware extensions. Thus, it can be used for specific tasks such as object sensing, environmental measurements, and much more!

Raspberry Pi - FAQ
It's a small computer board to which you can connect everything. Raspberry Pi is a series of single-board computers created by the British charity Raspberry Pi Foundation. It appeared in 2012. We therefore define Raspberry Pi as an inexpensive computer and hardware with GPIO pins used to control other devices. It runs Linux and Raspberry Pi OS.
Definitely go for the set. Choose your Starter Kit: justPi Raspberry Pi 4B 4 2GB , justPi Raspberry Pi 4B 4 4GB or justPi Raspberry Pi 4B 4 4GB with dual-fan case . They differ in accessories and Raspberry Pi RAM. Another great option for beginners will be the Raspberry Pi 4B kit with a free Polish FORBOT course .
We know that many of you look at the RPi board and see some electronic wonder for specialists. Nothing could be further from the truth . Raspberry Pi is a computer for people of all ages. It is a printing assistant, watching smart TV, listening to music, operating a video camera, creating a server, controlling automation at home or in the garden, controlling a robot and more.
Raspberry Pi 3A+ is a more compact and cheaper version of the 3B+ model. With smaller dimensions, compromises have to be made. The new A+ version lacks several elements that the B+ model has. In the newer RPi 4, the A model has a more compact design without the bulky Ethernet ports and full-size USB ports found in the B model. It has a smaller footprint but offers the same processor and capabilities.
It's difficult to provide an answer in the form of an FAQ. The least power-hungry version is Raspberry Pi Zero without WiFi, while Raspberry Pi 3B is the most power-hungry. Greater efficiency means greater energy consumption. It also depends on the accessories (HDMI display, keyboard or mouse). Check the benchmark for your model.
The easiest way is to display the list of IP addresses in our network after connecting the Raspberry Pi board to it (for example, using the ARP command).
Raspberry Pi is designed for programming in Python, but it also supports C, C++, Java and PHP, among others. You can learn more in our article about Raspberry Pi programming .
