A single-board computer is particularly popular in the DIY electronics sector: the Raspberry Pi. The credit card-sized mini computer was originally developed by the company of the same name to teach pupils and students how to work with hardware and programming, as the mini computer is very simple compared to a PC.
Mini PC with almost unlimited possibilities
Far beyond its educational purpose, the "Raspi" has long since found its way into the hobbyist scene and private households and is now considered a classic among single-board computers with more than 10 million units sold. The reasons for the success of the Raspberry Pi lie not least in its versatile and exciting application possibilities, whether for a simple LED matrix, a NAS (Network Attached Storage) or a multimedia centre with operating system - there are virtually no limits to the possibilities. Furthermore, the Raspi is a fast microcontroller, has low power consumption and is inexpensive to buy.
