lead in the raspberry pi is a debit card sized low cost computer that connects to a computer desktop or tv and uses a standard mouse and keyboard, with the option of a headless operation or no monitor the pis have a dedicated processor, memory, and a graphics driver, just like a pc it also comes with its operating system, raspberry pi os, a modified version of linux integration feature options the pis include standard interfaces that are compatible with the standard desktop, and make it simplifies the process of integrating the pi with an automation application communication interfaces include ethernet wifi data storage sd card reserved for operating system usb ports 4 ports usb c reserved for power supply visual media 2 mini hdmi ports audio output stereo jack audio output io port 40 pin io interface 26 gpio, bi directional interface the remainder of the gpio is allocated to power and gnd lead out the raspberry pi platform, coupled with the advantages of an operating system offers powerful automation application options with desktop like capabilities compacted into a a credit card sized form factor, along with reduced cost enables a cost effective solution
