Raspberry Pi 3B+

The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ is the latest product in the Raspberry Pi 3 range and the best low power single-board computer for beginners and makers, boasting a 64-bit quad-core processor running at 1.4GHz, dual-band 2.4GHz / 5.0GHz wireless, Bluetooth 4.2/BLE, faster Ethernet, and PoE capability via a separate PoE HAT. The dual-band wireless comes with modular compliance certification allowing the board to be designed into the end product without the need for further wireless compliance testing, improving both cost and time to market. Raspbian is the recommended operating system for normal use on a Raspberry Pi.

The GPU of Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ provides OpenGL ES 2.0, hardware-accelerated OpenVG and 1080p30 H.264 high-profile decode. It is capable of 1Gpixel/s, 1.5Gtexel/s or 24 GFLOPs of a general-purpose computer. What does that all mean? It means that if you plug the Raspberry Pi 3B+ single-board computer into your HDTV, you can watch Blu-ray quality video, using H.264 at 40MBits/s.

The Raspberry Pi 3B+ with 1GB RAM has four built-in USB ports that provide enough connectivity for a mouse, keyboard, or anything else that you feel the RPi needs. But if you want to add even more, you can still use a USB hub. Keep in mind, that it is recommended that you use a powered hub so as not to overtax the onboard voltage regulator. Powering the Raspberry Pi 3 B+ is easy just plug and Play with a 5V/2.5A USB power supply into the micro USB port. There’s no power button, so the RPi will begin to boot as soon as power is applied. To turn it off, simply shut down the Pi 3 B+, then remove power. The four built-in USB ports can even output up to 1.2A, enabling you to connect more power-hungry USB devices.

On top of all that, the low-level peripherals on the RPi make it great for hardware hacking. The 0.1? spaced 40-pin GPIO header on the RPi gives you access to 27 GPIO, UART, I²C, SPI, as well as 3.3 and 5V sources. Each pin on the GPIO header is identical to its predecessor, the Model 3. If you are planning to run a NOOBS card with the RPi3 B+ make sure that it is up to date with the latest version!

There are few handy components those will be helpful while working with the Raspberry Pi 3 B+ for home automation are displays , keyboard and mouse , power supply , case and accessories.
