Pinout
The Raspberry Pi 3 Model A Plus uses a 40 pin GPIO header compatible with standard Raspberry Pi pin assignments. The header provides power pins ground pins and multifunction GPIO pins supporting digital input output and communication interfaces.
Getting Started
To begin using the Raspberry Pi 3 Model A Plus you will need a stable 5 volt power supply rated at 2500 milliampere. A Micro SD card with a compatible operating system is also required.
Prepare the Micro SD card using an SD card formatter and flash the operating system using a suitable imaging tool. Once the card is ready insert it into the board connect the power supply and attach the required peripherals such as a display keyboard and mouse.
Operating System
The recommended operating system is Raspberry Pi OS. Other ARM-compatible Linux-based operating systems are also supported due to the ARMv8 instruction set.
Applications
- Compact embedded systems
- Wireless IoT devices
- Portable computing projects
- Education and learning platforms
- Media and control applications
