A Single-Board Computer (SBC) is a computer built on a singlecircuit board, with microprocessor(s), memory, input/output(I/O) and other features required of a functional computer.SBCs typically provide a fanless, low-power computing solution.Current SBCs come with a wide variety of processor types, mostwith GPUs on-board. These processors range from X86 basedprocessors from the traditional PC space (AMD and Intel) toARM processors which have traditionally been used in theindustrial and more recently mobile spaces. The most prevalentform of software used on SBCs is Linux with numerousderivations including Android, Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian and ArchLinux as well as FreeBSD.
Many of today's SBCs have become so powerful that they arebeginning to have the capability of modern day PCs and tablets.This trend will continue as more powerful processors make theirway into the embedded computing market as ever-increasingperformance/price ratios rise, as well as additionalmanufacturers enter into this "Wild West" frontier of supportingopen source hardware and software for both DIYers andprofessionals alike.
SBCsIn 2006, a group based in the University of Cambridge'sComputer Laboratory, decided to address the need for a lowcost computing platform that would allow kids to learn how toprogram without the need for a full-¯edged home computer.
The result was a $35 single board computer named RaspberryPi. While initially designed as a tool for students to learnprogramming, the Raspberry Pi was adopted by makers,designers, students and even professional engineers andhelped to launch the current boom in interest in SBCs.

What is a Raspberry Pi?
The Raspberry Pi is a low cost, credit-card sized computer that plugs into acomputer monitor or TV, and uses a standard keyboard and mouse. It is a capablelittle device that enables people of all ages to explore computing, and to learn howto program in languages like Scratch and Python. It's capable of doing everythingyou'd expect a desktop computer to do, from browsing the internet and playing
high-de nition video, to making spreadsheets, word-processing, and playinggames.
What's more, the Raspberry Pi has the ability to interact with the outside world, and has been used in a wide arrayof digital maker projects, from music machines and parent detectors to weather stations and tweeting birdhouses
with infra-red cameras.

The Raspberry Pi is a 3.3V deviceThe GPIO pins are unbu!ered andunprotected, so if you short somethingout, you could fry your whole Pi, so becareful!

Notes
On Raspberry Pi, all GPIO banks are supplied from 3.3V.Connection of a GPIO to a voltage higher than 3.3V will likely
destroy the GPIO block within the SoC.

Physical Computing
RPi vs. Arduino
Arduino boards are micro-controllers, not full computers.They don't run a full operating system, but simply execute
written code as their rmware interprets it.
You lose access to the basic tools an operating systemprovides, but on the other hand, directly executing simple
code is easier, and is accomplished with no operating systemoverhead.
The main purpose of the Arduino board is to interface withsensors and devices, so it's great for hardware projects in
which you simply want things to respond to various sensorreadings and manual input.

Raspbian JessieRelease 2016-03-18
Full Desktop vs. Lite
1. Plug the SD Card loaded with the Operating System intothe Raspberry Pi.
2. If required, plug the USB keyboard and mouse into theRaspberry Pi, perhaps via a USB Hub. Connect the Hub topower, if necessary.
3. If required, plug the video cable into the display and intothe Raspberry Pi.
4. Plug in your Network cable, or Wi-Fi dongle, if required.5. Ensure that your USB Hub (if any) and display are
working.6. With your screen on, plug the other end of the power
source into the Raspberry Pi.7. Plug the power source into the main socket, and switch it
on.8. If connected to a display, the Raspberry Pi should boot up
and display messages on the screen.9. If running headless, it should boot up. When the leds
have stopped ¯ashing, connect to the Raspberry Pi fromthe remote computer. Whether this works will depend onthe operating system you are using; the Raspian Linuxoperating system is con gured to allow SSH connectionsby default.

General StepsIt is always recommended to connect the MicroUSB Power to
the unit last (while most connections can be made live, it isbest practice to connect items such as displays and other
connections with the power turned o!).

Node-RED & Python
50 / 59
Node-RED is a tool for wiring together hardware devices,APIs and online services in new and interesting ways.
Node-RED provides a browser-based ¯ow editor that makesit easy to wire together ¯ows using the wide range nodes inthe palette. Flows can be then deployed to the runtime in a
single-click.
JavaScript functions can be created within the editor using arich text editor.
A built-in library allows you to save useful functions,templates or ¯ows for re-use.
