RS Components is now accepting general orders for Raspberry Pi, a credit card sized computer board developed to boost the uptake of computer programming among young people and enthusiasts. Orders can be placed by visiting www.rsonline.co.za and entering/searching for stock number 756-8308.
The Raspberry Pi is a miniature ARM-based PC and by connecting it to a monitor or TV and keyboard, budding computer programmers can develop new programs, games and apps, enabling the board to then handle many of the tasks traditionally performed by a PC, such as Internet browsing, word processing and spreadsheets. It also plays high-definition video.
RS customers worldwide can now order multiple quantities of the Raspberry Pi Model B board, along with the associated accessories to enable users to get started, including SD cards pre-loaded with the Raspberry Pi operating system and unique cases for safer storage.
Previously available only from the dedicated RS online Pi Store, businesses, engineering professionals and educational institutions can now route their Raspberry Pi order through the local RS websites.
While existing orders for the boards will continue to be fulfilled through the next few months, the ramp-up of production has enabled RS to lift the restrictions on the number of units per customer.
Orders can now be placed for unlimited quantities of Raspberry Pi and the associated accessories without the requirement to register or to receive an invitation to order. These orders will start reaching customers by the end of September.
The Raspberry Pi Foundation is a charity established to promote the development of computer development skills in education across the globe. Its vision is for Raspberry Pi to provide budding IT developers and programmers with a base platform to exploit the full power and potential of computing within the Linux environment, at a low cost.
