a whole new computer for just 35 bucks
0:03
really well kind of I'm not quite talking about a desktop or a laptop with
0:08
all the bells and whistles I'm talking
0:11
about the little single board computer the Raspberry Pi a tiny credit card
0:17
sized device with so many uses that it's
0:21
possibly the biggest British Invasion since the Beatles now at first glance
0:25
the Raspberry Pi doesn't seem very impressive especially when you get to
0:30
the spec sheet you get a quad core ARM CPU that doesn't support all the same
0:35
instructions as a desktop or a laptop x86 CPU a single Gigabyte of RAM four
0:42
USB 2 ports one HDMI port an Ethernet
0:45
Jack a Micro SD slot for storage Wireless end Bluetooth and a 3 and half
0:49
mm combined video and headphone jack oh
0:52
well at least they got that part right which is
0:57
good anyway you can try to use the pi as
1:01
a general purpose PC for web surfing and YouTube and whatnot but we don't really
1:07
recommend this as the default Linux drro
1:10
that serves as the Pi's operating system called raspian isn't that great for
1:15
everyday use you can actually learn more about that in our review of the
1:19
Raspberry Pi on our other channel here what really makes the pie interesting is
1:24
not only a couple of slots for mounting a small camera and an LCD display think
1:29
like the kind you'd find on the back of a digital camera but the 40 pin general
1:35
purpose input and output or gpio which
1:38
allows you to connect the P to everything from weather stations to
1:43
robots this functionality was originally built into the pie so it could be used
1:48
to teach computer science and programming to relatively young students
1:53
but is the main reason that it's become so popular among do-it-yourselfers of
1:58
all ages for home projects imagine a DIY
2:02
media stick with more power and flexibility than a chomecast thanks to
2:07
op Source media Centric os's like Cody
2:10
or a dirt cheap Home Server solution when you connect a USB stick or an
2:15
external hard drive if you're looking for something beyond the realm of
2:19
everyday Computing though you can buy special lowlight cameras for the p and
2:23
have a simple but effective home surveillance server you can hook it up
2:27
to your home's entrance to create a smart door lock or even a brewing
2:31
controller for home beer making delicious indeed projects range from pet
2:37
feeders to real working food dispensing robots to even Raspberry Pi controlled
2:43
drones but I'd be remiss though if I didn't mention the RAS Pi's gaming
2:48
potential I mean no you're not going to be able to run crisis at Mac settings
2:52
but it turns out the pi is a great platform for retro games of All Sorts as
2:57
open source projects like retrod are capable of running games for everything
3:02
from the Atari to the Nintendo 64 many users have even gone as far as
3:07
to build custom enclosures for the P turning it into a fully portable retro
3:12
gaming machine supporting more consoles than you'd find at Radio
3:17
Shack back when that still existed of course a lot of those
3:22
projects require you to have a little patience and learn a thing or two about
3:26
Linux but with 10 million Raspberry Pi
3:30
shipped since its debut in 2012 and even
3:33
kids producing some really cool projects there's nothing stopping you from making
3:38
something as crazy as your own Fallout Pip Boy especially as there are plenty
3:43
of custom cases accessories and how-to Guides Online just don't try to eat it
3:49
as it is not a real dessert it is pie not
3:54
pie speaking of learning a thing or two about coating that's pretty much all
3:58
