Raspberry Pi 1 Model A+ microcomputer

TheRaspberry Pi 1 Model A+ is a full-fledged single-board computer the size of a bank card, based on the BCM2835 SoC (system-on-chip), which includes a single-core ARMv6 32-bit processor with an operating frequency of 700 MHz and a powerful VideoCore IV video processor. Raspberry Pi 1 Model A+ is more recommended for embedded and low-power projects that do not require Ethernet or multiple USB ports. The Raspberry Pi can run the full range of ARM GNU/Linux distributions, including Ubuntu Snappy Core, Debian, Fedora and Arch Linux.

The Raspberry Pi was developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation to provide an affordable platform for experimentation and education in computer programming, so it can be used for many things similar to what a regular desktop PC does, including using high-level computer programming languages (such as Python), acting as a USB host, and a multitasking operating system. More than five million of these Raspberry Pi microcomputers have been sold, so there are many resources for it available online.

With its GPIO connector and small size, the Raspberry Pi can also work as a programmable controller in a wide variety of robotics and electronics applications. It can also be combined with the Pololu A-Star 32U4 Robot Controller LV with Raspberry Pi Bridge to make a big controller for a small robot. Other all kinds of expansion boards for Raspberry Pi can also be used.

Specifications:

• Chip: Broadcom BCM2837 (CPU, GPU, DSP, and RAM)
• Processor (CPU): 32-bit 1-core ARMv6 with a clock speed of 700 MHz
• Video processor (GPU): VideoCore IV 3D
• Memory (RAM): 512 MB
• Connectors:
  • audio / video digital: HDMI
  • audio / video analog: 3.5 mm jack (4 pin)
  • USB port: USB 2.0 - 1 pc
  • storage device: microSD
  • display port: Display Serial Interface (DSI)
  • camera port: MIPI Camera Serial Interface (CSI-2)
  • GPIO 40 pin connector

while the Raspberry Pi is powered by 5V mains power, it operates at a logic level of 3.3V and its pins are not 5V tolerant. Connecting higher voltages like 5V directly to the GPIO I/O connector pins can damage the board. We recommend that you use something like a bidirectional logic level shifter to interface this board with 5V systems.

In order to use the Raspberry Pi, you may need a few additional things that are not included in the kit:

• A 5V power adapter with a micro USB connector, at least 1.8A.
• A Micro-SD card with the operating system on it, which also serves as the main storage for the device.
• A case for Raspberry Pi B+B, 2, and 3 V, for convenience and protection of the board.
• Input and output devices such as a keyboard and monitor.
