d … The Raspberry Pi 3 is the third version
e
t
a r of Raspberry Pi. It replaced the
t
S Raspberry Pi 2 Model B in February
2016. New features include…

l A 1.2GHz 64-bit quad-core
B r i n g i ng your Raspberry Pi to life! lll A 8 BB 0Rlluu2Mee.1ttvoo18noo tCtWhhP i4LUro.e1wle sEsn LeArgNy (BLE)
Like the Pi 2, it also has…
l 4 USB ports
l 40 GPIO pins
l F ull HDMI port
l E thernet port
l Combined 3.5 mm audio jack
and composite video
l C amera interface (CSI)
l Display interface (DSI)
l m icroSD card slot (now push-pull
rather than push-push)
l VideoCore IV 3D graphics core
The Raspberry Pi 3 looks the same as
the previous Pi 2 (and Pi 1 Model B+)
and has complete compatibility with
Raspberry Pi 1 and 2.

Monitor or TV
A monitor or TV with HDMI in
can be used as a display with
a Raspberry Pi. This is the
quickest and easiest way to see
what your Pi is thinking. How big
a screen you want is up to you!

USB Mouse
A USB mouse is used to move
the cursor or mouse pointer
around the screen. It’s called a
mouse as it looks like it has a
tail! Like the keyboard, it will be
automatically recognised by the
Pi when plugged in.

Adding Audio Output
What’s the point in your Raspberry Pi making lots of
great noises if you can’t hear them?
l 3.5 mm audio port
The Raspberry Pi comes with a 3.5 mm audio port. This will allow you to plug
most speakers or headphones into the Pi so that you can listen to the output from
fantastic programs like Sonic Pi.
l Bluetooth speakers
With either the Raspberry Pi 3 or a Bluetooth dongle, you can connect to Bluetooth
speakers or headphones. Your success rate may vary depending on the dongle
and/or speakers you’re using, so ensure that you read the manufacturer’s
documentation before you buy.
