Raspberry Pi 3

[Brian H]

I see a new model is now being sold.

Raspberry Pi 3.

Has a Wi-Fi interface on it.

Since it is also using an RF signal it is on the FCC Web Sites Database.

I will see if I can find the exact search string for it. On the FCC web site.

Model 3 will definitely address most of the "shortcomings" of the previous Pi models (e.g. inability to drive a WiFi USB device directly), and make it a great host for the "Soft Console" among other HA projects.

 

• A 1.2GHz 64-bit quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 CPU (~10x the performance of Raspberry Pi 1)
• Integrated 802.11n wireless LAN and Bluetooth 4.1
• Complete compatibility with Raspberry Pi 1 and 2
• Ten times faster than the Pi 1!

Doh, I just bought the rpi 2 about a month ago.  At least it's only $35 though.

What's great about Rpi is as it becomes more popular more and more innovation comes with it

It has more than critical mass, and that success breeds more capabilities and more Pi models

Heck yeah. I've got three of the little buggers already. Such a cool little device.

I ordered my Pi3B 2 days ago and am awaiting a shipping confirmation.  Looking forward to replacing my Pi1 dev platform with something a little snappier. I already have 2 Pi2Bs running IO tasks, Nodelink, ISYLink, Polyglot, WCLink at home.  Thinking of moving DHCP off of my Dunkin Donuts-WRT router to a Pi along with my WiFi proximity script.  This will give me better capabilities and hopefully faster response times on detection.

 

I see the new Pi3 has BTLE.  I'm hopeful I can make use of that for location detection within the house.
