Abstract

Eben Upton created the credit card sized Raspberry Pi computer to stimulate teaching computer science in secondary schools. In less than one year over 1 million “RPi” computers have been shipped. This $35 dollar device runs versions of the Linux operating system which are stored on a standard SD memory card. The RPi includes a digital (HDMI) output that can be connected to most contemporary monitors. Older CRT's, including obsolete televisions, can also be connected via an RCA output port. Additional ports include USB, ethernet, and standard audio outputs. By installing and running freely available Linux based slideshow software, this tiny device can be attached to a monitor to create a portable “plug and go” kiosk for presentation purposes. Presentations can be changed by merely swapping out the SD memory card, and potentially even via wireless network connection
