Raspberry Pi is the most popular mini computer in the world. Once sold, it is sold. How much can this petite "little guy"? Take this, how many DIY people are playing the spirit of technological innovation.
Raspberry Pi Zero (in the mainland is known as "Raspberry Party"), this possibility is the cheapest, smaller full-featured computer in the world, selling less than 24 hours from the date of posting One empty.
This sale is 200,000 products, some of which have a gift with MAGPI magazine. It is only 4 US dollars (foreign countries are 5 US dollars), running Linux system, memory 512 MB, processor 1 g Hz, which is already advanced on the computer ten years ago.
The founder of Raspberry Pi Foundation is in an interview with "Connection" magazine: "You may think we are used to such enthusiasm, but to tell the truth, when the new raspberry When we launched a list, we were still scared by this love. Now that these products we produce have not yet selling light, about 20,000 pieces, including 10,000 pieces of them are also attached to MAGPI. On the magazine cover. Now many people collect the "Raspberry School" computer that has not been sold through the retail store. "
Yesterday, several MAGPI magazines have been hung on the ebay website, the maximum bid has reached £ 31.
Although this product has only three stamps, it also has 2 min mini USB ports, a mini SD card slot and a mini HDMI excuse. It runs the system is Raspbian (one version of the Linux system).
In order to let those "Raspberry Powder" can have a good mood, the "Raspberry" website also has a map on the "Raspberry" website, and there are many retail stores that may have MAGPI magazines.
The "Raspberry School" microcomputer is starting from 2012, and more than 5 million units have been sold. It introduces this in product description: "Let people have a programmable computer, and it costs only between $ 35."
So why is such a small computer to get so many people, what can I do? Next, it is simple to introduce 10 things that it can do (in fact, far more than this).
Drone
Tired of every Christmas gift, let the courier send you the door? Why don't you come to assemble a drone, let it be delivered for gifts? "Raspberry Person" computer can drive a drone to organize all. This little guy with a board can be competent, from reading the data of the gyroscope, to accurately calculate how much power needs to provide each motor.
arcade games
Those arcade game fans with retro complex are blessed, and now you can use the "Raspberry School" to build your own arcade. This machine needs to run on a software called MAME. The user wants to play what games, only need to complete the task of adding the game after being inserted by the U disk.
Robot arm
Maplin sells a set of tools that make you assemble a robotic arm that you can work, you need extra preparations, nothing more than a screwdriver, cut pliers, and sharp pliers. This arm requires a software running on the Raspberry PC to start. People can manipulate it in real time, or programs, allowing it to complete a series of actions in the next time.
Weather Monitoring Station
There is still such a set of tools AirPi, and users have become a small weather monitoring station after assembling this self-container, and the "Raspberry Pie" computer is responsible for the role of the brain. It can monitor wind speed, wind direction, temperature, pressure, and humidity. Users can even write mobile applications for it, so that data can be drawn to a weather map, making it more intuitive.
Spatial exploration
If you explore this galaxy is your interest, then "Raspberry PC" can also help your busy. In 2012, Dave Akerman installed the "Raspberry School" computer, Joint webcam and GPS equipment on the hydrogen balloon, reached a height of nearly 40,000 meters before blasting. When it returns to the ground, he retrieves all the images through "Raspberry PC".
Home automation
Pi Face, a digital input panel, can connect various electronic components to the "Raspberry Person" computer, making it an embedded computer that realizes smart home automation. It is able to remotely control light and household appliances, such as the activation of some sensors, or monitor the power loss in real time, and decide whether to turn off the electrical work.
Beer tank keyboard
If you feel that the keyboard is too boring, maybe you can create a beer tank keyboard driven by the "Raspberry PC". As the name suggests, this keyboard is made up of a beer can, which can be inserted on a computer or notebook, and the user can enter the text by clicking on the beer tank.
BeetBox
When we talk about the "Raspberry PC", the only limit comes from the upper limit of your imagination! Why don't you make more people think about something? The musician Scott Garner has developed a music tool through the "Raspberry PC", which can touch the beets to achieve the effect of tapping the drum! Of course, this can be done to do through "Raspberry PC", and a "capacitive touch sensor" and a "audio expansion device" in hand-made wooden boxes. In order to let you know that this is a lot of magic, Xiaobian specializes in handling this video below:
Cat food feeding
If you go out now, what should your cat? Why don't you engage in an automated cat food feeding? David Bryan has brought this invent in 2013. It provides two different cat food, WiFi connections, and users can send commands directly.
Super computer
If performance is the question you consider, then why don't you combine countless "Raspberry Pie", create a super computer belonging to your own? The computer engineers from Southampton University have completed the completion of this supercomputer through 64 treasurerous computers and Lego blocks. This computer has a total of 64 processors, and 1TB memory.
