Recommended Essentials:
The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B (note the plus on the end) was released by the Raspberry Pi Foundation on 14 March 2018. It has a 1.4Ghz Quad-Core Processor, WiFi, Bluetooth, HDMI, USB along with much more. Oh, and it's about the size of a credit card!
If you are a first time user, then take a look at our free Raspberry Pi Workshop (30 videos) to help quick-start your adventures for everyday computing through to Internet of Things projects. Our Starter Kit is good value as it includes all the essential accessories needed to begin your projects.
Features:
- Broadcom BCM2837B0, Cortex-A53 64-bit SoC @ 1.4GHz
- 1GB LPDDR2 SDRAM
- 2.4GHz and 5GHz IEEE 802.11.b/g/n/ac wireless LAN, Bluetooth 4.2, BLE
- Gigabit Ethernet over USB 2.0 (maximum throughput 300Mbps)
- 4 × USB 2.0 ports
- 40-pin GPIO header
-
1 × full-size HDMI
- 5.1V/2.5A DC Input Power (5.1V recommended for performance and stability)
- Official Raspberry Pi Foundation Product Release Document (all specs and features)
At the heart of this board is a Broadcom BCM2837B0 - it's a 64-bit 1.4Ghz Quad-Core processor that is referred to as the "System on Chip" (SoC for short). Alongside the SoC is RAM and other essential hardware, leaving you with an incredibly cost-effective personal computer that has enough oomph to run a range of operating systems, play high definition video, even retro gaming.
To get your Pi up and running you'll need:
- Power Supply 5.1V 2.5Amp
- Official Raspberry Pi 3 Case recommended for safe handling and storage (to avoid static discharge and accidental component knocks)
- 16GB MicroSD Card with NOOBS
And to control your Pi and see what's going on you'll also need:
If you need more ideas, then take a look at our community projects created with Raspberry Pi, or our wide range of tutorials.
Upgrading from the previous model? Here are some tips:
- You will need to download the latest version of NOOBS / Raspbian for this board to function. Older versions will result with a "Rainbow Screen" along with a "Lightning Bolt" symbol. Setup a fresh copy of NOOBS and you are ready to go (here's how - or get a preloaded card).
- The RPi 3 B has the same form factor as the previous RPi 3 B (older RPi 3 enclosures will fit).
- Custom/tight fitting enclosures may have an obstruction with the taller SoC package - doesn't affect anyone using official or popular RPi cases.
