2. Raspberry Pi is a series of small, low-
cost, single-board computers designed by
the Raspberry Pi Foundation in the United
Kingdom. Since its launch in 2012, there
have been several iterations of the
board, each with different specifications
and capabilities.

A Raspberry Pi Zero with smaller size and
reduced input/output (I/O) and general-purpose
input/output (GPIO) capabilities was released in November 2015.
On 16 May 2016, the Raspberry Pi Zero v1.3 was released, which
added a camera connector.
On 28 February 2017, the Raspberry Pi Zero W was launched, a
version of the Zero with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities.
On 12 January 2018, the Raspberry Pi Zero WH was launched, a
version of the Zero W with pre-soldered GPIO headers.
On 28 October 2021, the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W was launched, a
version of the Zero W with a system in a package (SiP) designed
by Raspberry Pi and based on the Raspberry Pi 3. In contrast to
the older Zero models, the Pi Zero 2 W is 64-bit capable.

The Raspberry Pi 4 B is compatible with a variety of operating systems, including the official Raspberry
Pi OS (formerly known as Raspbian), Ubuntu, and several others. It also has a variety of input and
output options, including HDMI, USB, and GPIO pins, which makes it a versatile and powerful tool for a
wide range of applications, from hobbyist projects to industrial use. Overall, the Raspberry Pi 4 B is a
significant improvement over its predecessors, offering more power and flexibility at an affordable
price.
8. TheRaspberryPiZero2Wis a compact and affordable
single-board computer developed by the Raspberry Pi
Foundation. It was released in October 2021 and is an
upgrade to the original Raspberry Pi Zero W.
Some of the key features of the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W
include:
•A 1 GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 CPU
•512MB of LPDDR2 RAM
•Dual-band 802.11b/g/n/ac wireless
•Bluetooth 4.2 and BLE
•microSD card slot
•micro-HDMI port with support for up to 1080p video
output
•2x micro-USB ports for data and power
•CSI camera connector and DSI display connector
•40-pin GPIO header
The Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is compatible with a
variety of operating systems, including the official
Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu, and several others. Its
compact size and low power consumption make it
ideal for projects that require a small footprint or
mobile use cases, such as robotics, smart home
devices, and portable media centers.

• A Raspberry Pi simulator allows you to test out projects without using an
actual, physical Raspberry Pi. This can save you money, time, and effort.
• The Raspberry Pi and the various electronic components in your project
are represented digitally. Some of these simulators have a drag-and-drop
interface that allows you to add and remove components easily. With a
Raspberry Pi simulator, you can run projects as simple as blinking an LED or
as complex as sensor-based projects.
• A simulator differs from emulating a Raspberry Pi because you get to
experiment with a representation of the hardware, rather than the
Raspberry Pi operating system.
•Some of the services are:
•Microsoft Azure
• Wyliodrin StudioLab
•Wokwi
• Center's Visual Designer
