In this guidance on NOOBS you will find everything you need to know to get started in the Raspberry Pi distribution launcher for beginners. NOOBS offers us the advantages of multi-boot on the Raspberry Pi, compatible with all versions. In NOOBS are all official operating systems for Raspi in a single package so you can use the one you want from a single SD memory card and without making drastic changes in it. All in a simple way and choosing the OS you want at all times according to your needs.

NOOBS stands for New Out Of Box SoftwareThe word "noobs", although you will also have noticed that it coincides with the English word "noobs", which means beginners or novices and which is used a lot in computer jargon. This double meaning is intentional, on the one hand they try to convey the purpose of the project and on the other hand its simplicity and ease of use (several operating systems of your choice, no formatting, downloading new images, installing them, etc...).

A HAT will remind you of the English word "hat", in fact they are just that, hats to insert into the GPIO pins of the Raspberry Pi and extend its capabilities. Kind of like the existing shields or modules for Arduino, they serve the same function. But in reality HAT is an acronym for Hardware Attached on Topi.e. hardware connected on top and acting as an add-on extending the capabilities of the Raspi.

As with Arduino, the success of the Raspberry Pi has led to many developers interested in creating add-ons for the board. These third parties have manufactured a large number of HATs such as LCDs, ADC/DACs, sensor boards, buttons, breadboards, motors, etc... And in this article we will make a compilation of the most interesting HATs that we can find on the market, with their characteristics and functionalities.

The Raspberry Pi GPIO pins are the great forgotten ones, but knowing how to use them opens up a world of possibilities. That's what this article is about, to open the doors of this world and introduce you to programming and the possibilities of GPIOs. In future posts we will also show you how to connect Arduino and Raspberry Pi using these pins to achieve great projects combining the power of both platforms.

Introduction to GPIOs and schematics

GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) is, as the name suggests, a general purpose I/O (Input/Output) system, i.e. a series of connections that can be used as inputs or outputs for multiple uses. These pins are included on all Raspberry Pi models, so you can make interesting projects as you would with the Arduino. ...
