6. My Open Source Hardware
Rasberry Pi

The Raspberry Pi (short: RPi or RasPi) is an ultra-low-cost ($25-$35) credit-card sized Linux
computer which was conceived with the primary goal of teaching computer programming to
children. It was developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation, which is a UK registered charity
(Registration Number 1129409). The foundation exists to promote the study of computer science
and related topics, especially at school level, and to put the fun back into learning computing. The
device is expected to have many other applications both in the developed and the developing
world

My Open Source Hardware
Arduino is a single-board microcontroller, intended to make the application of interactive
objects or environments more accessible.[1] The hardware consists of an open-source
hardware board designed around an 8-bitAtmel AVR microcontroller, or a 32-bit
Atmel ARM. Current models feature an USB interface, 6 analog input pins, as well as 14
digital I/O pins which allow to attach various extension boards.
