![]() ![]() With their Raspberry Pi Compute Module, the Foundation have taken a step further towards their ethos of accessibility by making the full design files available online (licensed under a modified BSD license). ![]() Perhaps the most exceptional element of this is the extremely low price point of $5. ![]() The newest model, the Raspberry Pi Zero, sold out almost immediately, and provides the computing power of a full Raspberry Pi (including a 40% higher CPU clock speed at 1GHz) in a package 2.5X smaller by area. Since 2013 the Raspberry Pi Foundation has been continuing to develop their products with Cadence tools, specifically using the OrCAD and Allegro Schematic PCB Design Suites. The size and flexibility of the Raspberry Pi lends itself to use in a vast array of projects and purposes from music machines to weather stations and anything in-between, and it has proved a great enabler for the evolving connected world. First released just over 4 years ago in February 2012, the device can not only handle many of the tasks expected of a full desktop computer, but it has also become a favourite in the digital maker community. The Raspberry Pi has firmly established itself as a household name by providing a hands-on way to learn programming in a small, simple, and very affordable package.
