My weapon of choice
As you may already know, I already have a particular setup in mind for experimenting. I'll tell you what are my weapons of choice and explain why I picked them. Let's get right into it. Why did I choose the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+? I'm a big fan of the Raspberry Pi computers. From the day I worked on a Pi Zero for a project, I love this platform. In short, it's cheap, compact, versatile and can be customized to unimaginable extents. The Pi 3 is a credit-card sized computer, consisting of just processors and ports on top of a circuit. The processor uses an AMD architecture. Storage is managed by a microSD card and there's 1GB of RAM. As for connections, there are 4 USB ports, an HDMI port, an 3.5mm audio jack, a microUSB port for power, and a very interesting 40-pin connector to attach various elements (like a camera). I've annotated the below image (from Google) so you can have a better idea of the Pi. Click on it to enlarge it: You might ask yourself
