Chapter 2. Raspberry

The very big success of the Raspberry PI http://www.Raspberrypi.org/ has triggered lot of different hardware variants. It uses SoC (System on Chip) from Broadcom having ARM CPUs, GPU and Peripherals. PI stands for Python Interpreter as a goal was to have a computer being able to be used for python.

Important

The standard Raspberry USB power supplies have 5.1V and not 5.0V. Using a 5.0V might work but might print under-voltage warnings to the screen. Obvious long cables can cause the same effect due to the voltage drop.
