Raspberry Pi 3 A+

Great bit of kit. I use my Pi to track aircraft on FR24, along with a receiver. Such a small bit of kit can do a whole manner of tasks. I printed a 3D case to put this in, to keep it a little safer. One negative is that a power lead is not provided. You get what is in the picture and no more.

As good as any Raspberry Pi, the 3 A+ is similarly powerful to the Zero 2, except it has full size HDMI and USB ports as well as DSI display connector, leaving the GPIO pins completely available. The same low power consumption as the Zero 2, being 5V 2.5A. Comparable performance. But the 3A+ is obviously a bit bigger. Not as big as the full size Pi 3B or Pi 4 and beyond, but nicely in the middle. They really are quite similar and I would suggest that if you don't mind using all the adapters required for the Zero 2, you might as well go for that one. In my case, the Zero 2 was sold out in many places and more than £30 elsewhere. So I went got the 3A+ because it was only £27. Still quite pricey, but that's the world we live in now. If you've never held a Raspberry Pi in your hands, you'll be blown away by how compact these things are for what they can do. I'm using it for a sort of desktop cyberdeck, with a touchscreen and keyboard, housed in a DIY enclosure, running a few lightweight Python scripts. I didn't bother with a CPU cooler, but drilled a few holes for passive cooling and it all seems fine. For running desktop UIs, it's a bit sluggish, but as long as you're only running the types of simple programs it can handle, it's great. Otherwise, you'd probably be better off grabbing a Pi 3B, or even the 4 or 5, but they do take up a good deal more space in two dimensions. They're wider and thicker because of the additional ports, not to mention the 5 really requires active cooling and is a lot more power hungry, which starts to defeat the purpose of a palm size hobbyist computer and looks more like a mini PC. The 3A+ for me was the perfect middle ground in all of that. I'm chuffed and would recommend it. Mine was supplied by Rapid Electronics and delivered by DHL. Very good packaging and delivery was quicker than expected. Can't complain.

Product has arrived in perfect condition. This was the best value I could find on the internet - would definitely use this seller again.

I have an old printer that only understands the no longer existent AppleTalk. Wanting to resurrect the printer to use with AirPlay on Apple iPads and iPhones, I needed a cheap print server. The Raspberry Pi 3A+, although minimalist, has everything needed. Network connection via wifi and a usb port. The latest Raspberry Pi operating system contains the CUPS system and driver libraries. A little bit of configuration later and I have a working print server. Best of all, it uses so little electricity, it doesn’t even register on a power meter. And, of course, it runs headless.

I purchased this as the basis for a smart mirror I am building...It's size made it perfect for what I wanted.. I do find these a little pricier than some other places but the quick delivery was what persuaded me.. You do need to know what you are doing with these little computers but it's not difficult to learn. It's a cracking little unit, would have got 5*s if the price had been that little bit lower...

I've used first gen pi's for projects since they first arrived. I wanted a media centre for the lounge and built one with an old model b+ but Kodi was a bit jerky. I then saw the 3 a pi at £22 and £3.19 for the case. I now have an excellent media centre.

Working beautifully with octopi (octoprint), I added a cheap case I also got from Amazon and fitted a small fan to the top, I also added a USB hub to give me the extra port I needed for a WebCam, I used a MP1584 to drop the 12v from the printers power supply to 5v that the PI needs,. Check out the photo I added of the resource manager while printing to see The resources used and how much headroom you have.

Versatile piece of kit for anyone exploring electronics and coding. Lots of starter kits available. I have used my latest purchase as a kids jukebox to play music when an rfid card is scanned using an rfid module I bought separately. Be aware that it doesn’t have the same amount of RAM and ports as the B+, so check your requirements carefully. I use a usb hub when not using headless. Wouldn’t recommend as an everyday computer. Browsing is a little slow but great for fun projects.

Fue un regalo pero no he tenido quejas, así que todo correcto y funcional.

Works fine, thank you. Package was squeezed, but never mind.

Ho acquistato il Raspberry Pi Model A+ e, mentre sono impressionato dalle sue capacità e potenzialità, il prezzo è piuttosto elevato rispetto a ciò che offre. Ecco una recensione dettagliata della mia esperienza con questa scheda di sviluppo. Caratteristiche Il Raspberry Pi Model A+ è una scheda di sviluppo potente e versatile, adatta per una varietà di progetti fai-da-te. Ecco alcune delle sue caratteristiche principali: Processore: Equipaggiato con un processore Broadcom BCM2835, garantisce buone prestazioni per la maggior parte dei progetti di base. Memoria: Dispone di 512MB di RAM, sufficiente per molte applicazioni leggere e progetti di domotica. Connettività: Una porta USB 2.0, una porta HDMI, un jack audio-video, e un GPIO a 40 pin che offre ampie possibilità di espansione. Dimensioni Compatte: Le dimensioni ridotte (65mm x 56.5mm) lo rendono ideale per progetti con spazio limitato. Esperienza d'Uso Ho utilizzato il Raspberry Pi Model A+ per diversi progetti, tra cui un media center e un sistema di monitoraggio della casa. Le prestazioni generali sono buone, ma ci sono alcuni punti critici da considerare: Prestazioni: Sebbene il processore e la RAM siano adeguati per compiti leggeri, la scheda può diventare lenta con applicazioni più intensive. Non è adatta per multitasking pesante o per eseguire più applicazioni contemporaneamente. Espandibilità: Il GPIO a 40 pin è eccellente per espandere le funzionalità della scheda, e la singola porta USB può essere un limite se si desidera collegare più periferiche senza un hub USB. Qualità Costruttiva: La scheda è ben costruita e robusta, tipica della qualità Raspberry Pi. Pro e Contro Pro: Dimensioni compatte ideali per progetti con spazio limitato Buone capacità di espansione con GPIO a 40 pin Affidabilità e qualità costruttiva Raspberry Pi Contro: Prezzo elevato rispetto alle prestazioni offerte Solo una porta USB, limitando il collegamento di periferiche multiple senza un hub Prestazioni limitate per applicazioni più complesse Conclusioni Il Raspberry Pi Model A+ è una scheda di sviluppo versatile e ben costruita, adatta per progetti di base e applicazioni specifiche che non richiedono potenza di calcolo elevata. Tuttavia, il prezzo è piuttosto alto considerando le specifiche e le prestazioni offerte. Per chi cerca una soluzione economica, ci sono alternative che offrono un miglior rapporto qualità-prezzo. Consiglio questa scheda a chi ha esigenze specifiche di spazio e non necessita di alte prestazioni, ma per chi cerca il massimo valore per il proprio investimento, potrebbe essere più saggio considerare altre opzioni nella famiglia Raspberry Pi o tra le alternative disponibili.

-1 star cause box was not in good shape. The actual pi box was a little bent. But it didn't affect the raspberry pi itself. And its working fine. Loved the raspberry Pi 3 A+, becareful that it only has +1 USB so you need to have a usb mouse and keyboard combo, or Bluetooth devices

Çok çok teşekkür ederim ben 3 istemiştim ama aynı seviyede 4 göndermişler ürün çok güzel ve sorunsuz tavsiye ederim.
