The new Raspberry Pi ‘Model A’ board is now available from Farnell element14.
The new board cuts down on the features of its predecessor, but then it does also consume considerably less energy.
The launch of Raspberry Pi last year was seen as a huge opportunity to fill the gap left by the demise of computer programming courses in education, and the increase in ready-to-use PCs, laptops and tablets. Demand for the Model A board is anticipated to be from those making industrial control modules and those looking to use it as a very low-cost media centre.
In recent weeks, element14 has launched two accessories to support the development of new applications and uses: the Gertboard, a flexible experimenter board that connects the Raspberry Pi out to the physical world, and PiFace, which allows the user to sense and control the real world. Both are available to buy to supplement activity on the Raspberry Pi and can be used with the Model A and Model B boards.
