A Tiny little computer with a big heart.
If you have never seen one, you will not believe
what it can do.
This is setup as a hotspot,
well, not exactly. No internet.
It is more like a private cloud.
Store your information in a database
with index files, so you can find it later.
Add a battery pack and carry it with you.
The best application is to use wireless to connect.
You do not need any cables with wireless.
Connect with your phone or laptop.
It is ready, plug in a 5V power supply and go.
It has a mini HDMI connector, so you need a special cable
if you want to connect to a TV set
It has micro USB so you need a special cable.
It is single core with 512MB memory
The SD card storage can be up to 32 GB
For most people Raspberry Pi3 is the one to choose
It has a standard HDMI (cheaper)
and four (4) standard USB connectors
Plug in USB keyboard, USB mouse, USB camera, USB printer, USB hard drive
Raspberry Pi4 Model B is the newest, fastest, and most expensive
Raspberry Pi4 comes with either 2GB 4GB or 8GB RAM ($$$$)
If you go with the Pi4 get the 8GB
The Pi4 has micro HDMI ($$$)
and USB-C (not too bad)
and it needs a 3 Amp power supply
The Pi3 is a better value
The Pi3B+ is faster but not compatible with Pi0W
The Pi0 does not have wi-fi
Be sure to get the "W" if you want wireless
Pi0W for wireless AP or Private Cloud (works great)
Connect with your phone
Pi0 for portable projects such as robots
All Raspberry Pi models have a micro USB port for power
(the same found on many mobile phones)
Pi4 has USB-C with a power supply that provides least 3.0 amps
You need a microSD card with a capacity of at least 16 GB (32GB)
Smaller cards are getting harder to find at a good price
TV with HDMI input
The Pi is able to play sound (no extra cables)
Computer monitors do not work well (VGA adapter $$$)
Raspberry Pi4 has two micro HDMI ports ($$$)
allowing you to connect two separate monitors.
You need either a microHDMI-to-HDMI cable ($$$)
or a microHDMI-to-HDMI adapter ($$)
What a pain
Raspberry Pi3 has a single full-size HDMI port
so you can connect it using a cheap standard HDMI-to-HDMI cable
Some screens only have a VGA port, you need HDMI-to-VGA adapter ($$$$$)
Pi0 does not have an Ethernet port
Do not even think of using a Pi0W on the internet
It is single core and no connectors
Yes, you can do it, but it is not worth it
It also has a mini HDMI connector ($$$)
On a Pi0W forget the connectors ($$$$)
Set it up to connect with wireless
Pi3 and Pi4 can also be wirelessly connected to the internet
Pi0 could but not worth it.
Are you going to put a USB adapter for the keyboard and mouse
