I think that the built in wifi is an incredible asset ! the Raspberry Pi has always been a playground for me !
This is such magnificent release, adding the things most wanted to the already lovely rPi.
I really enjoy watching this industry evolve. The Rasp. team is really breaking down the barriers to entry.
@gsholling it appears to be out of stock on the web links...and idea where I can get one asap? 👍🏼😀
So excited for what this can do in the world of EdTech, especially in developing areas of the world.
Exciting that these are now going to be Kano's computer and coding kits, think a 50% faster computer you build and code yourself
@gsholling Gordon, tell us what was the toughest engineering task to make this all happen?
@prattarazzi Probably getting certification for WiFi and Bluetooth as an intentional radiator. We had to achieve certification for most countries separately since there are no harmonised standards like there are in europe. So requires working with certification companies in UK, China, Korea, Australia, Japan... And that's just the start!
On software it was a real challenge for our engineers re-writing the SD card driver to use a completely different piece of hardware so that we could use the SDIO interface for the WiFi, but this is awesome because it means the WiFi bandwidth doesn't share the USB2 bus.
I hope that someone could help me with this: Is there a website that has a collection of Raspberry Pi Project that can be done by entry level/beginner programmers? I found a few projects, but I would assume that the options are limitless..
@emericvictor This one is full of projects. Some are easy, others are harder. Usually they're documented well enough that a beginner can follow them. https://www.hackster.io/raspberr...
It's getting better and better. I'm waiting for time to use this as my main development environment for nginx, php and mysql.
It's been a year of careful planning, development, manufacturing and testing to get to todays release. We had a number of last minute issues which we cleared up but the Pi 3 is now a product! WiFi 802.11n, Bluetooth classic + BLE, quad A53 running at 1G with 64k L1$, 512k L2$ and 1G memory.
It's a mammoth packed in ant body, one can do much more but to start with it is bit hard.
Pros:cheaper
Cons:not so userfriendly as compare to arduino
It takes a while to get used to but is a great way to learn Linux. Originally designed for school childeren but great fun for grownups too. If you want to learn a little bit more about computing, get yourself a Pi 3 and get started! recommended!
Pros:great price! You can even use it as a web server!
Cons:SD cards wear out fast, use a USB stick or drive instead.
