Raspberry Pi A+ now available

4 February 2015 Computer/Embedded Technology

RS Components is now stocking the new and improved Raspberry Pi Model A+, which combines enhanced value and ease of use with smaller size and lower power consumption for applications such as industrial controls, remote monitors and multimedia devices.

The new board has the 40-pin GPIO connector introduced on the Model B+, with the same pin-out and mounting holes for standard Hardware Attached on Top (HAT) accessories, allowing users to add extra functions quickly and easily. In addition, the A+ utilises the B+ power architecture to achieve lower power consumption than the earlier Model A.

With smaller board dimensions of 65 x 56 mm (compared to 86 x 56 mm for the Model B+), the new Model A+ is more easily embeddable and better suited to mobile or battery-powered applications. It provides an economical feature set with 256 MB RAM and a single USB connector offering adequate resources for numerous industrial and consumer products.
