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 - Legendary minicomputer
Raspberry Pi is a computer platform based on one printed circuit . It has a built-in Broadcom chip, which with each subsequent version is presented in a newer, more powerful version. The first Raspberry Pi (from 2012) used the Broadcom BCM2835 chip with a built-in 700 MHz processor, as well as a graphics processor and RAM. The fourth installment, which premiered in 2019, boasts a 1.5 GHz processor clock and refreshed components. The board has, among others, a number of useful ports - USB (in the latest versions corresponding to the release date), GPIO , Ethernet connectors, Wi-Fi module, Bluetooth , UART , I2C , SPI , CSI or DSI . Power is supplied via a microUSB connector (USB Type C in the latest version) or via GPIO, PoE using an additional shield.
Raspberry Pi - what can you find in the Botland store offer?
The offer includes 3 generations of Raspberry Pi modules. The newest ( fourth ) and third are available both as stand-alone minicomputers and in sets with accessories. Depending on the specific set, they are selected by the Raspberry Pi manufacturer, the Botland store, other companies or by specialists from the FORBOT portal. The last item is a set of elements completed in such a way that the user of the course from the FORBOT website can perform all the tasks assigned to him. You can choose from full sets with tiles and sets intended for people who already have their own modules. The range also includes Raspberry Pi 2 B+ and A+ modules and Raspberry Pi zero. This is a module intended for projects with lower technical requirements and lower value. By eliminating some of the interfaces (including USB and Ethernet), the board has become lighter and cheaper.
Raspberry Pi accessories - what do we offer? Modules, kits, assembly elements
A very important part are cases designed specifically for Raspberry Pi. Thanks to them, you can easily protect delicate electronics and make the appearance of the board more attractive. We also offer power supplies with appropriate parameters adapted to boards. You can also purchase special overlays from us to increase the usability of these devices. There are also kits available to make a game console out of a Raspberry Pi. In addition, we offer displays, cameras, microSD memory cards (Raspberry Pi does not have built-in memory), all mounting elements (radiators, goldpins, screws or feet), network cards, mice, keyboards, HUBs, connection cables, and even books about Raspberry Pi.
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 .
