They arrived in 2012, and since then, their popularity and the number of projects developed with Raspberry Pi have only been growing at full speed. And this is Pocket PC It has already conquered millions of users.
At we tell you everything about Raspberry Pi and its infinite world of possibilities for users. makers.
And do you know what a world full of possibilities also has? Indeed, ours, with which you can navigate at full speed and without worrying about running out of gigabytes… What are you waiting for to take a look at them?
What is Raspberry Pi?
Raspberry Pi is a low cost and small size computer. It fits in the palm of your hand, but you can connect it to a TV and a keyboard so you can interact like any other PC.
Its origin is British and it has had a very clear objective since its birth: open the doors of computing to children. Thus, experimentation and learning about computing at all ages is assured.
How does Raspberry Pi work?
In itself, the Raspberry Pi is a simple computer board with a SoC, CPU, RAM, audio and video input and output ports, network connectivity, SD slot for storage, clock, a power socket, connections for low level peripherals, clock…
That is, it is the same as a tower computer, but with a small difference: it does not have a switch to turn it on or off.
To put it into operation, we have to use input and output peripherals to be able to interact such as a screen, a mouse and a keyboard. In addition, we will have to record an operating system for Raspberry Pi on the SD card.
If you have all these steps done, all that remains is to connect it to the power and we are ready to go.
What can we do with Raspberry Pi?
The possibilities of Raspberry Pi are practically endless, although there are four key functions among its users. Do you know which ones they are?
As a media center
That is, to turn your television into a smart TV. There is specialized software for this such as LIBRELEC or OSMC.
As a console emulator
You can use it to emulate a retro video game console, such as the legendary Game Boy Advance or the Play Station 1. This way you can play great video game classics thanks to RetroPie, such as Donkey Kong, Super Mario, Pokemon…
Linux computer
In addition, you can use it as a computer with a Linux system, open source and free, thanks to the Ubuntu, Raspbian (Debian) or Pidora (Fedora) distributions.
For home automation
You can build your house of the future with interesting projects such as weather stations or smart hubs.
In addition, the Internet has created a very large community of users of this board and they share their creations and programs by and for makers through forums, blogs and other online communities. Now you can get to work!
