Raspberry Pi
The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized computer that plugs into your TV and a keyboard. The product website calls it “a capable little PC which can be used for many of the things that your desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word-processing and games.” It also plays high-definition video. Model A (US$ 25) has been redesigned to have 256MB RAM, one USB port and no Ethernet. Model B (US$ 35) has 256MB RAM, two USB ports and an Ethernet port.
Our offers about "Raspberry Pi"
Learning Experience
You don't need a powerful computer system to use AI. We show what it takes to benefit from AI on the Raspberry Pi and what tasks the small computer can handle.
Power Point
Command-line tools and Node-RED on a Raspberry Pi let you control projects that use the USB ports.
Home Automaton
Z-Wave components, a RaZberry module, and the free Home Assistant software make the Raspberry Pi a powerful smart home control center.
Push of a Button
A video telephony system with huge user benefits does not have to be complex. This project starts a phone call with just a single button press and switches channels automatically on a TV.

Kitchen Helper
A simple kitchen helper with two timers assists budding chefs in coping with dishes that are unlikely to be ready at the same time.
Cyber Gardener
An automated watering system comprising a Raspberry Pi Zero W, an analog-to-digital converter, and an inexpensive irrigation kit can help keep your potted plants from dying of thirst.
Reuse and Recycle
A digital picture frame displays photographs and a current weather forecast with just a few hundred lines of Bash and a Raspberry Pi.
Eye in the Pi
Set up a professional video surveillance system armed with motionEyeOS and a Raspberry Pi.
Long Range
WiFi is convenient for devices that are in the same house. If you want to extend the distance, give LoRa a call.
Pass the Hat
