Raspberry Pi. The life of Pi - clever ideas with a tiny computer. 21 March 2013Last updated at 10:05 ET While the Chancellor was delivering his budget yesterday, I was in a room near Cambridge full of young people who may be part of the answer to Britain's economic future. They had all come up with clever ideas to use the Raspberry Pi, the ultra-cheap computer developed in Cambridge, and they were the finalists in a competition held by the technology advisors PA Consulting.
I was one of the judges deciding who should win - and it was a tricky task. There was the London primary school with a plan to recycle old computer components to turn the Raspberry Pi into a communications device for schools in developing countries. Their only problem - they couldn't figure out how to make Skype work on the little device, But the winners combined great teamwork with excellent use of both the Raspberry Pi hardware and inventive programming. Dalriada School students with their winning entry “Start Quote End Quote Which if true, is a pity. Learn RPi. ModMyPi. The Raspbery Pi 26 Pin (2 x 13) GPIO Connector Header Extender can be used to raise the height of the GPIO pins on your Raspberry Pi. Each GPIO header will raise the height of the GPIO Pins by approximately 10mm.
The GPIO Header Exetender can also be used to protect those sensitive pins from accidental bending or damage. Features: Gold Plated 26 Pin Double Row (2x13) Socket Connector Extension for the Raspberry Pi GPIO Connectors Dimensions (L x W x H) 33.0 x 12.5 x 11.7 mm Pitch 2.54mm Contact Resistance Max 20 mΩ Nominal Current 3A Fully Tested on the Raspberry Pi Model B Downloads Specification Sheet.

There are currently two main Raspberry Pi board revisions.Raspberry Pi Revision 1.0Raspberry Pi Revision 2.0 There are slight differences between this two revisions, so a different version of the arduPi library should be used depending of which board revision are you using. In the revision 2.0 the main changes are: 2 mounting holes added2 pin “reset” header added. 3.1 Identifying your board revision Cooking hacks starter kits include the Revision 2.0 of the board. Revision 2.0 The easiest way to identify your board revision is to check if it has the 2 mounting holes .
