RASPBERRY PI

Raspberry Pi is a British company specialising in the manufacture of single-board computers. It was founded in 2009 and soon gained international recognition thanks to its innovative and affordable products. Raspberry Pi computers are used in education, hobby projects and commercial applications all over the world. Their main features include compact size, low energy consumption, and versatility, the latter of which results from extensive support for the Python programming language and easy access to the microcontroller (it’s input and output ports, serial buses etc.). The company’s products run on different operating systems, including a customised version of the Linux system, whose newest variant is called Raspberry Pi OS. The company is also dedicated to spreading knowledge about computing and engineering among young people. Its best known initiative in this area is the Raspberry Pi Foundation. Thanks to the company’s mission, Raspberry Pi continues to contribute to the popularisation of technological knowledge and the development of digital skills in the global community.

Raspberry Pi offers different models of single-board computers such as Raspberry Pi 3, Pi 4, Pi 5, and the compact Raspberry Pi Zero module. Each of them has different parameters and capabilities that are suitable for a wide range of applications. The company also manufactures accessories such as cameras, touch screens, and GPIO extension modules (so-called HATs), which make it possible to expand your computer functionality. You can also purchase starter kits, which have everything you need to start working on your computer (power supply, mouse, keyboard). Computers offered by Raspberry Pi are loved by amateurs and professionals alike. In recent years, the company has introduced Pico modules to the market, based on a specially designed RP2040 microcontroller, which can be programmed using, among others, the MicroPython programming language.
