Raspberry Pi
The Raspberry Pi is a low cost, credit-card sized computer that plugs into a
computer monitor or TV, and uses a standard keyboard and mouse. It is a
capable little device that enables people of all ages to explore computing,
and to learn how to program in languages like Scratch and Python. It's
capable of doing everything you'd expect a desktop computer to do, from
browsing the internet and playing high-definition video, to making
spreadsheets, doing word-processing, and playing games.
What's more, the Raspberry Pi has the ability to interact with the outside
world, and has been used in a wide array of digital maker projects, from
music machines and parent detectors to weather stations and tweeting
birdhouses with infra-red cameras.
In this kit, we use Raspberry Pi as the core controller of driving equipment
like DC motor and servo. With the device and a camera collaborated
