Computer maker Raspberry Pi has launched a new introductory course to help young coders get to grips with the Python programming language.

The Raspberry Pi Foundation is finally designing a microcontroller with its own chip. Here's how you can use it for your projects and everything you need to know about its features and specs.

While the Raspberry Pi has very good support for an I2C bus, a lot of very cool chips – including the in system programmer for just about every ATtiny and ATmega microcontroller – use an SPI bus.

It isn't hard to use Raspberry Pi if you know some basic computing concepts. It's like a tiny computer that you can connect to Wi-Fi, a keyboard, a mouse, and a display like a regular computer but ...

The Raspberry Pi's GPU boasts 1 Gpixel/s, 1.5 Gtexel/s or 24 GFLOPs of general purpose compute power and is OpenGL 2.0 Compliant. In other words, it's got the graphics power of the original Xbox.
