Note: From 29th May 2020 onwards, CrowPi supports the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B board.
Note: This is the Basic kit, NO Raspberry Pi Single Board Computer is included, please get the main board separately.
CrowPi is an educational tool based on Raspberry Pi, designed to help people learn electronics, programming, and basic computer science. The success of CrowPi is based on the popularity of Raspberry Pi, and on the unique advantages of the product itself, such as the compact development board, the neat and portable case, the step by step tutorials, and the affordable price.
As we all know, computer science and programming are now regarded as an essential ability for 21st-century students and are becoming a key component of many curriculums, even in primary schools. And when we combine computer science and programming with electronics, we can build many useful devices both for industrial applications and for use in our daily life. Some examples of modern applications for IT are: running a weather station, PIR automatic lighting, line tracking robot car, vehicle radar, and so on.
What is CrowPi?
CrowPi is an education/training kit based on Raspberry Pi, equipped with a 7 inch HD touchscreen along with a camera. All the regular components used in DIY electronics are packed into the CrowPi development board, such as character LCD, LED matrix, buzzer, light sensor, PIR sensor, ultrasonic sensor, IR sensor, etc.
This is CrowPi Basic Kit:
Note: This basic kit DOES NOT include the Raspberry Pi board which gives you the flexibility to purchase it separately here:
Raspberry Pi is the most popular pocket-sized computer. It has been used all over the world to complete tremendous projects. Raspberry Pi 4 Model B is the latest version. Before we get hands-on with CrowPi, we should master the basic knowledge of Raspberry Pi hardware.
CrowPi Function
The main purpose of CrowPi is to work as an educational tool. It can be used as a small computer to learn basic computer science and practice programming. It can also carry out many electronic experiments. What’s more interesting, we can play Nintendo games and build our own games.
Learn Basic Computer Science
As a small and affordable computer, Raspberry Pi is not as powerful as our Desktop computers or notebooks. However, it can deal with most of the regular requirements for basic computer science.
