Other minicomputers
In this category you will find various minicomputers. You can use them to build different devices in your work or at home. Electronic device designers very often use single board computers in their embedded projects. Such a module always contains a highly-efficient processor. Thanks to this, minicomputers can handle even very sophisticated applications. Some modules can be used as regular PCs. The minicomputer PCB also contains RAM and (often) eMMC internal memory, as well as a connector for SD or microSD memory cards. For electronic designers, the available connectors, such as communication connectors, card slots, audio inputs and outputs, HDMI connectors as well as USB, microUSB, UART and other communication ports are also important. Many single-board computers also have GPIO connectors, which are very popular due to its possibility of easy integration with external devices. Most often they are pinheaders with 2.54 mm pitch with Rasbperry Pi-compatible pinout. Some minicomputers have the form of single, full-featured board. There are also minicomputers consisting of a base board and compatible SoM (System on Module).

Minicomputer applications
Minicomputers have many uses. They are used as hardware for electronic devices in the industrial and automotive applications. Home appliance manufacturers use minicomputers for controllers of consumer devices. Single board computers can also be useful in construction of robots and remote-controlled vehicles. Many minicomputers produced in the world are designed for IoT (Internet of Things) applications, as well as for development of smart home systems. The minicomputers offer also includes educational kits that give you a versatile way to learn how to build your own devices based on ready to use modules. At Botland you can also buy single board computers for specific applications. These are, for example, modules for the construction of routers, modules with an integrated camera or modules for remote control. You can also find dedicated cases for minicomputers, various accessories, power supplies and cables. Extensions and shields increase the functionality of main modules through additional interfaces and features.
Minicomputers in the Botland offer
In the Botland store you will find single board computers from the world's most famous manufacturers. Many electronic designers choose the Raspberry Pi platform. This platform appeared in 2012 and completely changed the electronics industry. Many companies imitate the success of the Raspberry Pi. Some minicomputers have functionalities that this platform does not provide. You can find minicomputers form Odroid, RepRap, CubieBoard or Red Pitaya families. The well-known Asus brand also develops its minicomputer design. It is called Asus Tinker Board. Also check single-board computers created by Sony - Spresense. If you want to build devices for IoT, choose smart wireless modules from the Particle IoT or Onion IoT family. Many designers also use popular Rock Pi products. We also recommend very advanced, high performance minicomputers Odroid and Odyssey. The NanoPi offer from FriendlyARM is also very wide.f
Modules, covers and accessories
In Botland's offer you will find not only typical minicomputers, but also other useful modules. You can buy AVR boards, very popular in less sophisticated embedded projects. However, if you decide to build a robot, check Husarion hardware platforms. They will work both while learning robotics and in creating your own projects. For some projects demanding high performance and possibility of parallel processing FPGA boards will be best choose. In our store you can also buy modules for STM32 microcontrollers manufactured by ST Microelectronics. This platform has been record-breaking popularity among electronics for many years. Working with minicomputers is easier when you have the right accessories. In each of the sections of the offer you will find accessories dedicated for a given hardware platform. Some of them are compatible with various single-board computers.
