Boards

Raspberry Pi boards are highly advanced microcontroller boards that feature all of the same components as a full-sized computer, just reduced in size and power into a more manageable format. They typically offer around 512MB or 1GB of RAM, an ARM2 Cortex processor, onboard WiFi, as well as an SD card slot to use as hot-swappable “Hard Drives”.

 This makes them ideal for advanced projects that require reasonably impressive processing power, with wireless capabilities that allow them to connect to the internet as well as other external devices. This means that Raspberry Pi’s can also act as main controllers in systems with numerous computers or devices, possibly even acting as a server if set up in the right way.

This is why we always make sure to stock a good range of boards, HATs and accessories for Raspberry Pi in South Africa, because they are not only powerful little microcontrollers, but also excellent learning and experimentation tools for South Africans who are looking to advance their electronics and programming knowledge and expertise.
