- 3. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I would like to take this opportunity to bestow my acknowledgement to all the persons who have directly or indirectly availed me in guiding my project. I am grateful to my college and my university for giving us the opportunity to present project on this topic which will be the first step for my bright future. The assiduous help given by Mrs. Alpa Valand and Mrs. Happy Patel as my project guide has been an inevitable part in the successful completion of my project. I sincerely thank her for her continuous support and cooperation throughout the semester. I would also like to thank Mr. Chetan Sharma for arranging a demo hardware for the project. I would also like to thank Mrs. Twinkle Ankleshwaria (Head of Department, Computer branch) for guiding me throughout the project and encouraging me. And the most precious part of my life, my parents, who have showered their love and support which can never be repaid but can be commemorated. I would also like to thank my elder sister for giving her views and recommendations on the project. Without them this achievement would not have been possible. Nipun Ashokkumar Parikh 120060131006 Computer Science & Engineering BMCET, Surat.
- 4. ABSTRACT The computer is now not a luxury but a necessity in today’s world. The computer has now become a personal computer with the introduction of microcontrollers and integrated circuits. Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized computer aimed at providing a computer to everyone on the planet. It is aimed at teaching computer concepts while being low at price. Raspberry Pi is intended to provide a base on which kids can learn programming while enthusiasts can make various projects. It serves as an efficient base due to its low cost and the number of interfaces available. The Raspberry Pi can be used instead of a personal computer, but with some limitations due to its limited processing power. The main aim of this seminar is to study Raspberry Pi, and its applications. This seminar is carried as a part of a subject in the curriculum of Computer Science of Gujarat Technological University. This seminar is limited to study of the Raspberry Pi from various sources without its practical implementation.
