0:00 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
