There are five raspberry pi boards out there, the model A, A+, B, B+ and the pi zero,
This is a cheap but powerfull little computer that runs on a 2 amp micro usb card and an 8gb micro sd card, you will need a mouse and keyboard and a hdmi cable (an Ethernet cable or wifi dongle if you wish to connect to the Internet.
Why use this?
I got my 1st pi with the dv mega, it was set up and ready to go for the dv mega, after i got one i deiced i want to find out more about it and its quite a versatile little system for what you get and i hope to do more with one to understand it some time in the near future.
Power to the pi
Raspberry pi uses a 2amp micro usb plug to power it and over the space of a year it would cost approximately £4 to leave it on in the background all the time like i do with the dv mega
Back it up!
When you do things with your pi they can go one of two ways, it may work or it may not, before you do anything make a back up image of it as you may not like what its done or you may corrupt files and it wont work, some times the memory card may fail and then you will have to start over again, this ain't good if your running a dv mega as there is a lot of work involved to set it all up again
I want to find out more
Google raspberry pi and loads of information will come up on it or go to the main site pi official site
Where can i buy one
I found the cheapest at the moment is Amazon
