Abstract

One of the biggest advantages of the Raspberry Pi is that it is tiny and can fit in just about any small nook or cranny you care to think of. This is why it is constantly touted as a great choice for people to use when designing—it can be placed just about anywhere and, with the right peripherals, can do almost any task. Additionally, its low power consumption means that there is less of a barrier to its usage in these situations as it doesn’t need a large amount of electrical plumbing to “just work.” Which is to say that Raspberry Pi is a super tiny machine that provides a monumental bang for your buck!
