With Raspberry Pi and ABL Circuits PCBs, the world is your oyster
Since the Raspberry Pi was launched in 2012, an increasing number of our customers have ordered ABL Circuits Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) to be integrated into products which include a Raspberry Pi as a central computer.
Similar in size to a credit card, the device includes up to 1GB of RAM and a 64-bit, 1.2GHz processor. With video input and output terminals and a USB connector, the Raspberry Pi is powerful enough to handle most processing applications, making it an ideal substitute for central components in electronic devices.
The credit-card-sized computer was conceived in the UK by the Raspberry Pi Foundation, as a low-cost device for use in developing countries and as a teaching aid for children learning computer science. Open source firmware is available and the operating system enables support for Python, Scratch and many other programming languages, meaning the Raspberry Pi is highly adaptable as well as small and cost-effective.
ABL Circuits have manufactured many PCBs to integrate with the Raspberry Pi, including control equipment, audio and video equipment, monitoring devices and miniature computers. Printed circuit boards have been designed for mounting additional memory, touch screen interfaces, switches, LEDs as well as multiple input and output connections.
If you are considering options for prototyping, to accelerate production or to incorporate into finished, manufactured equipment, integration our PCBs with the Raspberry Pi could be a perfect solution. More information about the Raspberry Pi is available at www.raspberrypi.org.
