Getting Started

For a comprehensive guide on getting started with your Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+, including setup instructions and tips for your first project, visit the official documentation: Getting Started with Raspberry Pi.

The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, a groundbreaking product launched in February 2016, marked the start of the Raspberry Pi's third generation. It significantly improved upon its predecessor, the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, by offering a much faster processor. This compact computer packs a quad-core 1.2 GHz Broadcom BCM2837 64-bit CPU, delivering a substantial boost in performance. It also comes equipped with 1GB of RAM, ensuring smooth operation for various tasks.

The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B eliminates the need for separate adapters by integrating BCM43438 wireless LAN and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) right onto the board. This simplifies your wireless connection setup. Additionally, it features a 100 Base Ethernet port for wired networking needs. For expandability, it offers a 40-pin extended GPIO header, allowing you to connect various electronics and four USB 2.0 ports for additional peripherals.

This versatile device caters to multimedia applications with a full-size HDMI port, a CSI camera port for connecting a Raspberry Pi camera, and a DSI display port for attaching a Raspberry Pi touchscreen display. Loading your operating system and data is easy with the included Micro SD card slot. The upgraded switched Micro USB power source provides up to 2.5A, ensuring sufficient power for your projects. While succeeded by the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+, the original Pi 3 Model B paved the way for future iterations by introducing enhanced processing power and on-board connectivity.
