− | == Software ==
| |
− | ::''main article: [[Rpi Software]]''
| |
− | | |
− | The Raspberry Pi is a fully capable ARM computer, so it should be able to run about everything compiled in ARM.
| |
− | | |
− | == Education ==
| |
− | ::''main article: [[Rpi Education]]''
| |
− | The Rpi is geared towards eduction. Here you should find teaching methods, hints and tips about how to use the Rpi in the classroom.
| |
− | A whole lot of good links can be found in [[Rpi Educational links]].
| |
− | === Manual ===
| |
− | [http://www.computingatschool.org.uk/ Computing at School] is writing a manual for the educational use of the Raspberry Pi.
| |
− | | |
− | == Projects ==
| |
− | ::''main article: [[Rpi Projects]]''
| |
− | While the Rpi is intended for education, it is also the heart in many projects, from home automation to clustercomputers (called [[Rpi bramble]] in the jargon). Projects worked out here are useful as examples, inspiration or direct manual for your own projects, or those for more advanced pupils.

− | | |
− | == Accesoires ==
| |
− | === Expansion boards (shields) ===
| |
− | ::''main article: [[Rpi expansion boards]]''
| |
− | The [[Rpi GPIO]] pins on the board allow for the connection of many shields, adding more functions to the main board. These range from sensors ([[Rpi Gertboard]]) to connectivity (adding a VGA connection).

| |
− | | |
− | === Peripherals ===
| |
− | ::''main article: [[Rpi Peripherals]]''
| |
− | Most computer pheripherals will work with the Raspberry Pi without any problems.
| |
− | | |
− | === Case ===
| |
− | ::''main article: [[Rpi cases]]''
| |
− | There is currently no official case for the Rpi. But due to it's small size and low power output it can be housed in about anything!
