Getting To Know The PI Raspberry, A Advanced Single-Board Circuit That Is Able To Run Various Programs

YOGYAKARTA Not many people know Raspberry PI, a single-board circuit that, although small in size, is capable of the transmitted technology, makes the device capable of running various programs. To get to know more about the computer, look at the following article.

In general, the Raspberry PI or Raspi is one type of computer in the form of a Single Board Circuit (SBC). What is interesting about the Raspberry PI is that it is only the size of a credit card, which is approximately 3.5 x 2.3 x 0.76 inches (88 x 58 x 19.5mm) but is able to run various applications such as ordinary computers ranging from application processing office, games, media players including high-resolution videos.

The Raspberry Pi component is not much different from the computer that is often found. The device still has CPUs, GPUs, RAMs, USB Ports, Audio Jacks, HDMI, Ethernet, and GPIOs. The device also has a monitor display port or connection to a USB connection that can be used to connect keyboards and mice.

As for data storage and operating systems, Raspi does not use a hard drive (HDD) but uses a Micro SD with a capacity of at least 4 GB. Meanwhile, Raspi's resources come from micro USB power with a recommendation of 5V power with a minimum current of 700 mA.

Making PI Raspberry is not without purpose. Initially, Raspi was created for students so that they want to learn programming language. The lack of interest of students to learn programming themselves is due to the high price of computers. Because of that reason, the idea for making a computer that is easy to program but the price remains affordable. That way students don't need to talk about the price if they want to experiment.

Raspberry PI was developed by Upton, Rob Mu town, Jack Lang, and Alan Mycrof. Development was carried out at the Cambridge University Computer laboratory. In 2009 they then founded the Raspberry PI foundation.

The use of the name Raspberry PI is a combination of the name fruit, namely Raspberry, and PI which comes from the word Python, one of the programming languages. Python is deliberately chosen because the programming code is easy to read and write. In addition, many modules are available. Although using Python's main programming language, Raspberry PI allows to use other programming languages.

In May 2012, the foundation managed to produce mass-produced Raspberry Pi Model B. As a result, they managed to sell 100,000 units in just a few hours. Not long after, in February 2016 to be precise, the Raspberry Pi Foundation claimed that it had sold 8 million Raspi devices, even being the best-selling device in the UK.

In general, the PI Raspberry can be used like ordinary conventional PC tennis, starting from processing documents, browsing, and so on. In general, the benefits of the PI Raspberry are as follows.
