Some models—like the models B+, A+, and Pi 2 model B+—improve the specification of this device, culminating in the Raspberry Pi 2 with quad-core processor and the Raspberry Pi Compute model, which provide the Raspberry Pi as a plugin board that can become part of a larger system.
This edition has been thoroughly updated to encompass the new models of Raspberry Pi, as well as the many changes and improvements to its Raspbian operating system.
This edition contains a new chapter on computer vision and a chapter of recipes on making Internet of Things projects with your Raspberry Pi.
