Micro Controller Design Decision wiki! Pros and Cons of Raspberry Pi

---Pros---

  • Linux Accessible
  • Smaller compare to Raspberry B+ models
  • Offers a Vast amount of peripheral support
  • Combine digital and sensor inputs
  • Portable -Offer Wifi

---Cons---

  • Overheating
  • A powerful processor causes the pi to heat up
  • Impractical use of a desktop computer

Show a plan of the resources you are going to use from your microcontroller, and how [30].

-----Plan------

-Read the datasheets of the hardware relevant to the Ait Tag Tracker Product. Currently, we are using the Air Tracker hardware: Rasberry Pi Zero W, GSM/GPRS/GNSS HAT, and GPS device. Regarding software, we need to decide on the type of IoT network we want to use as our server that will receive the pings from our air tag tracker. To activate communication for a GPS tracking system, we will SSH to Raspberry Pi to run GPS code from our computer.

Show parameters you already know or have to determine, for instance, duty/cycle and frequency settings for a timer that generates a PWM signal [20].

All Pis run at 3.3V, but need to be supplied with 5V for some peripherals. Knowing this will need to implement a DC to DC converter that offers voltage protection for our Raspberry Pi.
