RASPBERRY-PI
The Raspberry Pi is a powerful credit-card sized micro-computer that can do anything a desktop computer can do. The board was designed to help both kids and adults learn how to programme and get started in the world of computers, all at an affordable price, making the Raspberry Pi a fantastic tool for coding in languages such as Python and Scratch. The single-board computer comes with built-in ports allowing it to interact with the outside world – it can accept accessories such as a keyboard, mouse, monitor or camera, as well as connect to the Internet, and more.
The Raspberry Pi lets you browse the web; take videos and photographs; play music and high-definition videos; or if you just need to work on a word-processor, it can do that too. Being Internet-connected gives the Raspberry Pi the ability to let makers create Raspberry Pi projects such as weather stations; voice assistants; game consoles – the possibilities are endless.

The Successor to Raspberry Pi Zero…
RASPBERRY PI ZERO 2 W
The board incorporates a quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A53 CPU,
clocked at 1GHz. The upgraded processor provides this model with 40%
more single-threaded performance, and five times more multi-threaded
performance than the original single-core Raspberry Pi Zero.
The latest addition to Raspberry Pi…
The Raspberry Pi 4 Model B
Raspberry Pi 4 Model B is the latest product in the popular Raspberry Pi range of computers. It offers ground-breaking increases in processor speed, multimedia performance, memory and connectivity.
Improved Performance…
The Compute Module 4
Compute Module 4 is built on the 64-bit quad-core BCM27 11 application core processor. The Compute Module 4 deliver a step change in performance over its predecessors such as faster CPU cores, better multimedia and more interfacing capabilities.
