Raspberry Pi 2: the use, installation and connection

Initially, developers planned a microcomputer as a cheap device for teaching pupils computer science. But something went wrong. "Raspberry" interested in a lot of people. Everyone's wondering what a micro-computer - the Raspberry Pi 2. The use, configuration and installation of this device we will consider below. And yet – a bit of history.

Raspberry Pi was developed in 2011. For several years it has undergone serious changes. Now this is a very interesting platform with lots of features called Raspberry Pi 2. The application of this charge is possible in all conceivable areas. It can be used as a production server of a "smart" home security system with face detection, multimedia centre and much more. The latest model Raspberry Pi 2 Model B+ has at its disposal a Quad-core ARM v7, 1 GB of RAM and a video card that can easily play Full HD videos. The USB connectors are in number of four pieces is also in place. To connect a monitor or TV, use the HDMI output.

Here things are not so simple. The original version of the microcomputer could not work on normal distributions. They had to create special versions of systems. All OS are based on Linux distributions. There is even a special version of ArchLinux and Kali Linux for the Raspberry Pi 2. Installing the OS on the Board by using a microSD card and special apps NOOBS. In the latest version of this device if desired quite possible to use as the OS system is Ubuntu and even Microsoft Windows 10. Due to this from the Raspberry Pi has become possible to make a home multimedia center. 

However, by default, strongly recommended to use Raspbian OS, specially created for this microcomputer. It is based on the well known Debian distribution. All controls are exactly the same as a normal Linux system.

For many it will be interesting to work with such an amazing electronic device. And not only so-called geeks (people who "turned" on his hobby). To anyone even slightly curious person will be interested to understand this "piece of iron". After all, for a nominal fee you can get a computer system, the second half conceding a huge stationary PC. Besides, many people will want to make your media center or to arrange to upgrade a car using Raspberry Pi. The use of the microcomputer in fact do much to make life.

It can also be used as an alternative to programmable electronic designer Arduino. Because the latter can act only as the control Board, while the Raspberry Pi is almost a full-fledged computer. It is popular among hackers with crackers, is based on it often make interceptors Wi-Fi traffic with passwords that are easy to conceal and only from time to time to collect data. Reflect the theme of the microcomputer in the television series about Hackers, "Mr. Robot", where the heroes used the device for remote technological sabotage. Oh and don't forget about the small cost that can afford to almost everyone. Especially fond of the inventors is that the use of Raspberry Pi and can multiply like anything.

Additionally, if you need to purchase some of the Arduino and SCM components, you could search at Banggood, which is one of the wholesale platform to provide you the low prices. Such as, smd led board, jumper cable wire, etc.
