Every hardware and software designer knows perfectly well that "time is money". Therefore, the time saved on the project is an additional profit. This is the reason why todayβs electronics is based on ready-to-implement hardware modules, for example sub-GHz RF transceivers, WiFi or Bluetooth modules as well as sophisticated OEM devices intended to use in given areas of technology. This is also true for more advanced modules called SBC (single board computers). These tiny, but powerful devices are based on high performance processors, built-in RAM memories and even Flash memory chips and allow developers to run high level software applications under control of various operating systems β from Linux (for example Ubuntu, Debian or Raspbian) to Android and Windows (well known from βbiggerβ mobile devices and computers). One of the most important advantages of SBCs is availability of many expansion ports, usually called βGPIOβ (general purpose input-output) and serial communication interfaces (UART, SPI, I2C, I2S and sometimes more). In this category youβll find many minicomputers suitable for different use cases.
