Get Started with the Raspberry Pi

Say Hello to Raspberry Pi • Let’s take a look at the best-selling British computer ever: the Raspberry Pi! This bare-bones machine just looks like any other piece of circuitry, until you realise it’s a full-blown credit-card sized computer, ideal for learning programming and home coding, building and learning.

Get to Know the Raspberry Pi 3 • While the Raspberry Pi 4 is an upgraded model, the Pi 3 models are the most popular among the community. They’re cheaper, more compatible with current hardware and software, and still pack a significant performance punch. Here’s what powers the fantastic Pi 3.

Up Close with the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B • Released at the end of June 2019, the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B is a significant improvement in terms of hardware. Labelled the ‘Ultimate’ Raspberry Pi, this updated generation offers true desktop computing power.

Raspberry Pi 5 In Depth • The latest release in the Raspberry Pi range was released on 28th September 2023, and it’s more than twice as powerful as the previous model. Let’s take a look at this incredibly exciting new single-board computer, the Raspberry Pi 5.

The Raspberry Pi 5 and Beyond • The world’s most popular single board computer is better than ever. But what can the Raspberry Pi 5 do for you, and should you upgrade? Let’s take a look at this amazing machine, and its underlying technologies

Up Close with Pi 500 • Released at the end of December 2024, the Pi 500 is a significant improvement in terms of hardware. Labelled the ‘Ultimate’ Raspberry Pi, this updated generation offers true desktop computing power in a small keyboard package.

The Pi 400 – Up Close • The Raspberry Pi 400 is an all-in-one keyboard Pi that was released in November 2020, offering the user a different approach to their Pi lifestyle. This compact and powerful Pi is the flagship of a new kind of Pi, and one we’ll hope to see more of in the future.

Ten Pi 500 & Pi 400 Projects • You may think that a Raspberry Pi board inside a keyboard would create some limitations, however that’s not the case. Indeed, you won’t be able to utilise the Pi 500 and the classic Pi 400 in quite the same way as a standard Pi models, but there are plenty of amazing projects you can get to grips with.

The Pi Pico 2 – Up Close • The Pi Pico 2 isn’t your normal Raspberry Pi. Instead, this is a tiny microcontroller, designed to help enthusiasts control and utilise connected appliances and electronics projects. From displaying an LCD to controlling LEDs, using MicroPython and C++.

Pico Power: The Tiny Microcontroller • When is a computer not a computer: when it’s a microcontroller. To be fair, a computer, by its true definition, is an electronic device for storing and processing data, which is what the Pico does. But for most users, a computer is defined as a device that sits on a desk, something you can work and play on. This is where the Pico differs.

The Pico and MicroPython • The beauty of the Pico is that it’s a blank microcontroller, meaning that it’s free...
