Raspberry Pi Foundation back in November introduced its cheapest computer to date, the Raspberry Pi Zero, priced at just
$5 (roughly Rs. 330). The makers of miniature computers have now
upgraded the Zero model and added a camera connector.
According to
Eben Upton, Raspberry Pi Founder, the camera connector was the "the most
frequently demanded 'missing' feature" of the Raspberry Pi Zero."
The
company details that
the Zero offers custom six-inch adapter cable to connect to the camera.
"This converts from the fine-pitch connector format to the coarser pitch
used by the camera board," explains Upton.
The Raspberry Pi Zero
is available to buy in Europe via The Pi Hut and Pimoroni, and in the US
from Adafruit and in-store at Micro Center. Eben Upton says that there
are roughly 30,000 new Zeros available to purchase. "We'll be making
thousands more each day until demand is met," he added.
To recall,
the Raspberry Pi Zero specifications included Broadcom's BCM2835 application processor clocked at 1GHz. Raspberry
at launch had claimed that the chipset was 40 percent faster than its
counterpart at Raspberry Pi 1. Other innards include a 512MB of LPDDR2
SDRAM, and a microSD card slot for storage. On the connectivity front,
there's a mini-HDMI socket that supports 1080p60 video output, a 40-pin
GPIO header, and a composite video header. The Raspberry Pi Zero runs a
Linux-based operating system, Raspbian.
The Raspberry Pi
foundation had launched the third version of its popular low-power Raspberry Pi development
platform, the Raspberry Pi 3, in February. It was priced at $35 and came
with bumped features including integrated Wi-Fi as well as Bluetooth
connectivity.
