Raspberry Pi is a single-board computer (SBC) developed by Eben Upton at the University of Cambridge as an educational device for the students to learn programming and electronics through hands-on experience. The Raspberry Pi has been used in numerous applications, including robotics. It can be used to learn how to code and build simple electronic circuits without the need to buy expensive kits.
Raspberry Pi is designed to support numerous languages and software systems. It can do everything you’d expect a desktop computer to do, from browsing the internet and playing high-definition video to making spreadsheets, word-processing and playing games.
It also allows hardware expansion through its 40-pin header, providing GPIO connections access. The onboard microSD card reader allows users to boot the device or store data in an external medium.
