Raspberry Pi – Everything You Need to Know
The Raspberry Pi opens up a world of creativity for both beginners and advanced users: as a compact single-board computer it’s perfect for DIY projects, home automation, retro gaming, a lightweight media server or even as the brain of your own robot platform.
Getting started is easy thanks to extensive documentation, an active community and ready-to-use starter kits. With the constantly updated and free Raspberry Pi OS, setup is straightforward, and with many add-on boards (HATs) and accessories you can realize truly individual applications.
Whether you want to turn your speakers into a Hi-Fi music system, set up an energy-efficient desktop PC for office and web, relive classic console titles or build a robot with wheels – Raspberry Pi makes it possible.
How Does a Raspberry Pi Work?
Quite simple: it uses a micro-SD card as its “hard drive”, running a Linux system such as Raspberry Pi OS. Specialized systems are also available – like LibreELEC for media centers, RetroPie for retro gaming or Ubuntu Core for IoT and industrial use.
Once powered on, the processor boots the operating system. Displays connect via HDMI or Micro-HDMI, while mouse and keyboard plug into the USB ports.
For electronics and robotics projects, the GPIO pins and HAT extensions are available to control motors, servos or sensors – ideal for homemade robots or automation.
When networked, you can control the Pi via SSH from your laptop – it runs reliably in the background without a monitor. The Raspberry Pi Imager and step-by-step guides make the first setup especially easy.
Which Raspberry Pi Is Right for Your Project?
From the tiny Pico or Pi Zero 2 W for simple IoT or sensor tasks, the Pi 3 B+ or Pi 4 B for desktop and server environments, up to the powerful Pi 5 for advanced edge computing – there’s a model for every use case.
If you want an all-in-one keyboard computer, the Pi 400 and Pi 500 are perfect choices, while the Compute Modules deliver maximum flexibility for industrial and embedded systems.
