Hey there, today I will talk about a very popular device in this blog. So what is it? It's a Raspberry pie. Yes, today I will talk about Raspberry pi and also show you the hardware setup of raspberry pie.

So, let’s start it….

First of all, we should know what is raspberry pie?

The Raspberry Pi is a low cost, credit-card sized computer that plugs into a computer monitor or TV, and uses a standard keyboard and mouse. It's a capable small device that enables people of all ages to explore computing and learn to program in languages like Scratch and Python. From browsing the Internet and playing high-definition videos to creating spreadsheets, word-processing, and playing games, it is capable of doing what any desktop computer expects.

The Raspberry Pi has the ability to interact with the outside world and has been used in a wide array of digital maker projects, from music machines and parent detectors to weather stations and tweeting birdhouses with infra-red cameras. We want to see the Raspberry Pi being used by kids all over the world to learn to program and understand how computers work.

How Does the Raspberry Pi Work?

An SD card inserted into the SD card slot on the board acts as Raspberry Pi's hard drive. It is powered by USB and by using the HDMI port video output can be hooked up to a traditional RCA TV set, more modern monitors, or even on TV.

Can we use C++ on Raspberry Pi?

It is possible to program Raspberry Pi using C/C++ because Raspberry PI is generally written for Python but it is a micro-computer so other languages can be used.

Is Raspberry Pi a microcontroller?

The latest raspberry pi is based on the ARM Cortex-A53, it is a complicated controller, and hence we call it a microprocessor so Raspberry Pi is not a microcontroller; it is a single board computer.

Benefits of Raspberry Pi:

It is low cost but its compact board has huge processing power. It has many interfaces like (HDMI, multiple USB, Ethernet, onboard Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, many GPIOs, USB powered, etc.)

Features of raspberry pie

Quad-Core 1.2GHz Broadcom BCM2837 64bit CPU
1GB RAM
BCM43438 wireless LAN and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) on board
100 Base Ethernet
40-pin extended GPIO
4 USB 2 ports
4 Pole stereo output and composite video port
Full-size HDMI
CSI camera port for connecting a Raspberry Pi camera
DSI display port for connecting a Raspberry Pi touchscreen display
Micro SD port for loading your operating system and storing data
Upgraded switched Micro USB power source up to 2.5A

The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B is the earliest model of the third-generation Raspberry Pi. It replaced the Raspberry Pi 2 Model.

The hardware connection

Press lightly to make sure it is properly attached.
Let’s attach the micro SD card. A sixteen GB memory card comes with this Raspberry Pi. However,
I am using this 32GB memory card. Insert the micro SD card into the card slot on the underside of the Raspberry Pi.
We need a power adapter to power the Raspberry Pi. If you have a 5 V2 ampere charger, you can use it. No need to buy another adapter. We attach this cable to the Raspberry Pi.
If you do not have an HDMI display, you can use the HDMI 2 VGA converter.
We connect the converter's one end to the HDMI port of the Raspberry Pi and one end to the VGI cable of the monitor. Now we connect the mouse, keyboard, Ethernet board to the Raspberry Pi.
