ABOUT ARDUINO AND RASPBERRY PI: 


Afraid of working with the microcontrollers ????? 

Not anymore………….. 
The “Arduino” is here for you.



Arduino is an open-source platform used for building electronics projects. The Arduino does not need a separate piece of hardware (called a programmer) in order to load new code onto the board – you can simply use a USB cable.

Features:
No wasting time, setting the registers of the microcontrollers. 
Abundance of free libraries available for different tasks. 
Abundance of tutorials, blogs, forums and online materials available.



Interested in Robotics? 
From small robots to cluster computing, Raspberry Pi has it all. 
While some built talking toy some built picrowave. 
What will you built with your Pi? 
Come unleash the potential of Raspberry Pi...


The Raspberry Pi is a low cost, credit-card sized computer that plugs into a computer monitor or TV, and uses a standard keyboard and mouse. It is a capable little device that enables people of all ages to explore computing, and to learn how to program in languages like Scratch and Python. It’s capable of doing everything you’d expect a desktop computer to do, from browsing the internet and playing high-definition video, to making spreadsheets, word-processing, and playing games.

What’s more, the Raspberry Pi has the ability to interact with the outside world, and has been used in a wide array of digital maker projects, from music machines and parent detectors to weather stations and tweeting birdhouses with infra-red cameras. We want to see the Raspberry Pi being used by kids all over the world to learn to program and understand how computers work.

Raspberry PI is one of the most popular open source development platforms available in the market today. It is a miniature credit-card sized powerful computer that let designers develop multimedia applications - media playback & streaming, gaming, graphics etc. Raspberry PI operates on Linux and has Broadcom BCM2835 - full HD multimedia SOC which includes ARM11 running at 700MHz and VideoCore IV GPU.
