Overview

The original and the best has had an upgrade. The Raspberry Pi 2 Model B computer boasts the same footprint and feature-set as its predessor. But now runs an ARM Cortex A7 CPU any 1GB of SDRAM which makes it 6 x faster. Includes USB, Ethernet & HDMI connections. Uses a micro SD card as its data storage device and has a GPIO (general purpose input, output) interface. Very easy to set up and get designing!

This new model is backwards compatible. So you can still run codes that were written for the original.

The Raspberry Pi 2Model B is the higher-spec variant of the Raspberry Pi. It replaces the original Model B+

Compared to the Model B+ it has:

More GPIO. The GPIO header has grown to 40 pins, while retaining the same pinout for the first 26 pins as the Model B.

More USB. We now have 4 USB 2.0 ports, compared to 2 on the Model B, and better hotplug and overcurrent behaviour.

Micro SD. The old friction-fit SD card socket has been replaced with a much nicer push-push micro SD version.

Lower power consumption. By replacing linear regulators with switching ones we



Package includes:
Raspberry Pi Model 2B
Sandisk 8GB Ultra Micro SD card
M 8893 USB power supply
P 1009A 830 hole breadboard
1.5m USB A to Micro USB lead.




About the Raspberry Pi Model 2B
The RASPBERRY-MOD 2B-512M is a credit card sized computer that plugs into your TV and a keyboard, its like a little PC which can be used for many of the things that your desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word processing and games. It also plays high definition video. The design is based around a Broadcom BCM2835 SoC, which includes an ARM1176JZF-S 700MHz processor, VideoCore IV GPU, and 512Mbytes of RAM. The design does not include a built in hard disk or solid state drive, instead relying on a microSD card for booting and long term storage. This board is intended to run Linux kernel based operating systems.
