Raspberry Pi; developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation in the UK, is a mini computer reduced to a small card size.
With Raspberry Pi, you can perform simple programming, create projects, and use it in experiments. Particularly successful in image processing, you can connect this mini computer to a monitor to get visuals, connect a mouse and keyboard to use it like a normal computer, and even connect a gamepad to play games.
Raspberry Pi can be used with the Raspbian operating system provided by its own website, Larch Linux ARM, or Windows 10 IoT Core. After loading the operating system onto an SD card, you can start using it by inserting this SD card into your Raspberry Pi board and connecting your board to a screen via the HDMI interface.
Raspberry Pi, which released its first model in February 2012, continues its path by improving its products every year. The most popular and up-to-date product series of this mini computer family is the Raspberry Pi 3 family. Raspberry Pi 3 B+ and A+ models are the most widely used and newest Raspberry Pi models today.
Raspberry Pi 3 B+ model has been improved and enhanced over the Classic Raspberry Pi 3 model. The processor speed has been increased from 1.2GHz to 1.4GHz. Ethernet speed has been increased by 3 times, and PoE support has been added. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth features have been enhanced.
·1GB LPDDR2 SDRAM
·2.4GHz and 5GHz IEEE 802.11.b/g/n/ac wireless LAN, Bluetooth 4.2, BLE supported
·Gigabit Ethernet over USB 2.0 (maximum throughput 300 Mbps)
·Extended 40-pin GPIO header
·Full-size HDMI
·4 USB 2.0 ports
·CSI camera port for connecting a Raspberry Pi camera module
·DSI display port for connecting a Raspberry Pi touchscreen display
·4-pole stereo output and composite video port
·Micro SD port for loading your operating system and storing data
·5V/2.5A DC power input
·Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) support (requires separate PoE HAT)
The latest member of the A series, which is developed more modestly compared to the B series of Raspberry Pi, is the Raspberry Pi 3 A+ model, which is a more affordable Raspberry Pi model compared to other models. Among these products, which are more expensive compared to their competitors, this model is an opportunity not to be missed for those looking for a cheap Raspberry Pi.
Raspberry Pi A+; it is smaller and more affordable than the B+ model and has similar features. While their processors and many features are the same, there are some differences. Model A+ has 512MB RAM while B+ has 1GB RAM. Additionally, it does not have an Ethernet port. If these differences do not affect your work, you can comfortably choose this model.
