Which Raspberry Pi is right for your project? 22nd August 2019
Ever since it first came into the world, the Raspberry Pi has been seen as a device with huge potential. Although it was initially designed as a tool for teaching people the basics of computing, the micro-computer has since evolved into a dream device for any DIY enthusiast who wants to build their own computing project. A smart home device, an internet radio, a virtual cloud device, and many more projects are possible for all to build themselves. Now, the fourth generation joins the family with the Raspberry Pi 4, and here Sven Pannewitz, Product Manager at reichelt elektronik tells us more.
