Update on Raspberry Pi

[TriplexDread]

Reduced footprint and other stuff

Not really my thing and tbh I think I would prefer the version before if I was to buy one
However I do know a few members here own one

Basic clip, sure you could find a more indepth review elsewhere

That is so small now!

The one I bought last year hasn't seen much use, although I'm hoping to resurrect it in a project next year to make use of the GPIO ports. For schools and students, these things must be fantastic fun .

Oh and under £17 from CPC

Yes small but I think more limited as well. I wouldn't want to have a whopping big USB hub attached to it for a start.

Not being a programmer maybe I'm missing the point? But from a practical use I would certainly prefer the more expandable version ie ports, ethernet, sockets etc.
Smaller unit, smaller price, less features?

Be perfect for use with a camera unit and batteries in a situation where you have no mains power.
Say for example if you were sending a balloon into near space.
