RS Components has announced that the new Raspberry Pi Model B+ is available locally.
Building on the success of the Model B, with over three million boards now in use, the B+ incorporates a number of enhancements and new features.
Between 20% and 30% improvement in power consumption has been achieved on the new board by using a more efficient switched mode power supply in place of the previous linear arrangement. More extensive GPIO (general-purpose input/output) capability is provided by the replacement of the 26-pin socket with a 40-pin connector; the pin-out of the first 26 pins remains identical to the Model B.
The number of USB ports has been doubled to four, enabling users to avoid the use of a cascading hub when deploying multiple devices such as a wired keyboard, mouse, wireless dongle and external hard drive. Audio output quality has also been improved with some DSP-related fixes.
Some minor changes have also been made to the board’s form factor in order to provide better alignment of connectors down its side. In addition, four mounting holes instead of two are now provided to facilitate improved board stability when mounted within an OEM application. In keeping with current trends, the standard SD card slot has been swapped out for a microSD.
