RASPBERRY PI 3 MODEL B+

The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ is the most recent addition to the Raspberry Pi 3 family, with a 64-bit quad-core processor running at 1.4GHz, dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless LAN, Bluetooth 4.2/BLE, faster Ethernet, and PoE functionality through a separate PoE HAT.

The Broadcom BCM2837, an ARM Cortex-A53 64-bit Quad-Core Processor System-on-Chip working at 1.4GHz, is the secret sauce that makes this computer so tiny and powerful. OpenGL ES 2.0, hardware-accelerated OpenVG, and 1080p30 H.264 high-profile decoding are all supported by the GPU. A general-purpose computer can process 1 gigapixel per second, 1.5 gigabytes per second, or 24 gigaflops per second. What does all of this mean? It implies you can watch Blu-ray quality video using H.264 at 40 Mbits/s if you plug the Raspberry Pi 3 B+ into your HDTV.

The Raspberry Pi 3 B+ features four built-in USB ports, which are sufficient for connecting a mouse, keyboard, or whatever else you think the RPi requires. However, if you wish to add even more, a USB hub can be used. Keep in mind that you should use a powered hub to avoid overloading the integrated voltage regulator. It's simple to power the Raspberry Pi 3 B+ by plugging a 5V/2.5A USB power supply into the micro USB connector. Because there is no power button, the RPi will start to boot as soon as the power is turned on. To turn it off, first turn off the Pi 3 B+, then turn off the electricity. The four USB ports built-in can even deliver up to 1.2A, allowing you to connect more power-hungry USB devices.

Furthermore, the RPi's low-level peripherals make it ideal for hardware hacking. On the RPi, the 40-pin GPIO header provides access to 27 GPIO, UART, I2C, SPI, and 3.3 and 5V sources. Each pin on the GPIO header is identical to the Model 3's predecessor. If you're using the RPi3 B+ with a NOOBS card, make sure it's up to date with the current version!
