What is Raspberry Pi 4 minicomputer?
This is the latest release of the popular Raspberry Pi board, version 4 B. This model is distinguished by:
- a powerful Broadcom BCM2711 processor - quad-core 64-bit ARM-8 Cortex-A72 1.8 GHz,
- two microHDMI connectors - allows to connect two monitors
- two USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 connectors - provide faster data transfer from media than the previous version
- USB C power connector - allows for current flow up to 3.0 A
- dual-band WiFi - 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, Bluetooth 5 / BLE,
- Ethernet port with speeds up to 1000 Mbps with the possibility of powering through PoE,
The rest of the specification is in line with the earlier 3 B+ model, that is: four USB slots, 40 GPIO, microSD card connectors, DSI and CSI connector and four mounting holes.
Why choose a kit from an official distributor?
In order to run Raspberry Pi 4 you need a power supply with proper parameters: output voltage above 5V and current capacity up to 3.0A. The original, tested power supply included in the kit allows for stable operation of the minicomputer at full load. Thanks to official casing, the minicomputer avoids potential physical damage and accidental short circuits e.g. of GPIO ports. The included fast 32GB memory card allows for the installation of the operating system right after inserting it and connecting the minicomputer to the Internet via cable. Included accessories such as microHDMI cables allow you to connect your Raspberry Pi to any monitor with an HDMI port.

A great computer for every engineer
The Raspberry Pi 4B single board computer features even better hardware specifications than its predecessors. Thanks to an even more powerful Broadcom BCM2711 SoC, which is based on four Cortex-A72 cores, you get even more room for manoeuvre. The 40-pin GPIO strip, on the other hand, allows you to connect and program devices such as electric motor controllers, as well as work with measurement systems. These are very important advantages that make the Raspberry Pi 4B very suitable for a wide range of engineering applications.
Raspberry Pi 4B WiFi 2 GB RAM + 32 GB microSD + official accessories included.
What kind of devices can you create with the Raspberry Pi 4B?
The versatility of the Raspberry Pi 4B minicomputer is not only revealed in its very good hardware performance, which can support 4K video playback! Thanks to its powerful processor and functional GPIO pin strip, you can build various, even the most advanced hardware applications. It may be, for example, a control system for a voltage inverter supplying a high-power induction motor, as well as a control and measurement system designed for advanced chemical analysis of pollutants present in the air.
