The New Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+, The Smaller and Lower-Powered Model

Raspberry Pi Foundation announced the smaller and lower-powered model. The new hardware named with Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+.  If you’re running a Pi as just something that takes in power and spits out data on the GPIO pins, Pi 3 Model A+ might be all you need.

Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+ is ideal for projects in which you need the speed and processing power of the Pi 3 and also can live without ethernet, multiple USB ports, and extra RAM.

The Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+ has undergone extensive compliance testing, and meets the following European standards:

• Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (EMC) 2014/30/EU
• Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive 2011/65/EU
