Raspberry Pi Model A+

Model A+, Broadcom BCM2835, 256MB SDRAM, MicroSD, Micro-USB, HDMI, 3.5mm, USB 2.0 <b>Raspberry Pi A+ SBC</b>

The Raspberry Pi A+ is an upgraded version of the Pi A and can help you learn about programming and computing or you can create exciting, innovative projects. The A+ does not have an internet connection however, if you looking for a smaller, lighter, more economical Pi board then the A+ is ideal.

<b>Why Pi?</b>

- It's low-cost
- It's really easy to use
- It's Linux-based open source, with access to free software and downloads to help you with your project
- There's a great Pi community out there — check out DesignSpark, RS's own design engineer community
- It's flexible to the user. Want to play games? Do your homework? Create a weather station? Create a home security camera? No limits.

<b>So why Pi A+?</b>

- Tidier layout for improved cable arrangement
- 40 General Purpose Input/Output Pins (GPIO) compared to 26 on the Pi A
- Improved audio quality
- Push-push microSD card slot
- Lower power consumption. Switching power regulators reduce the power consumption to between 0.5 W and 1 W

The A+ board has also been designed with add-on boards in mind. This means that you can be more flexible with your projects and add the functionality that you need.
A Hardware Attached on Top (HAT) board enables the A+ to automatically configure GPIO and driver setup for compatibility with any add-on boards.
