Raspberry Pi And Its Magic

Introduction

Raspberry Pi is a credit-card-sized computer, which plugs into your TV and a keyboard. It is a capable little computer, which can be used in electronics projects and for many of the things, which your desktop PC does, like Spreadsheets, Word processing, browsing the internet, and playing games. It also plays high-definition video. We want to see it being used by kids all over the world to learn to program.

Kit Explanation

HDMI Cable

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a proprietary audio/video interface to transfer the uncompressed video data and the compressed or uncompressed digital audio data from HDMI-compliant source device, such as a display controller to a compatible computer monitor, video projector, digital television or a digital audio device. HDMI is a digital replacement for the analog video standards.

USB Power & Cable

1. USB was designed to standardize the connection of the computer peripherals (including keyboards, pointing devices, digital cameras, printers, portable media players, disk drives and network adapters) to the personal computers, both to communicate and to supply the electric power.
2. It has become commonplace for other devices, such as smartphones, PDAs, and video game consoles. USB has effectively replaced a variety of earlier interfaces, such as parallel ports, as well as separate power chargers for portable devices.

RJ-45 Ethernet

1. RJ45 (computers), an unkeyed 8P8C modular connector is used for Ethernet computer network cables (incorrectly referred to as RJ45).
2. Ethernet is a family of computer networking technologies commonly used in local area networks (LANs) and metropolitan area networks (MANs).
3. It was commercially introduced in 1980 and first standardized in 1983 as IEEE 802.3 and has since been refined to support higher bit rates and longer link distances. Over time, Ethernet has largely replaced competing wired LAN technologies such as a token ring, FDDI and ARCNET.

SD Card

1. Secure Digital (SD) is a non-volatile memory card format developed by the SD Card Association (SDA) for use in portable devices.
2. The standard was introduced in August 1999 by the joint efforts between SanDisk, Panasonic (Matsushita Electric), and Toshiba as an improvement over MultiMediaCards (MMC) and has become the industry standard.
3. The three companies formed SD-3C, LLC, a company, which licenses and enforces the intellectual property rights associated with SD memory cards, SD hosts, and ancillary products.
