Combine the functionality of a PC with the flexibility of a development board’s digital inputs and outputs. These computers are faster than development boards and also have more memory, so they’re able to run multiple applications simultaneously. Use them to prototype or program complex automation jobs, such as controlling the movements of a robot arm or livestreaming video from a remote facility. About the size of a credit card, they easily mount inside control cabinets.

These computers run on a Linux-based operating system. To program, download an operating system onto a micro SD card (not included) and then transfer it to the single-board computer.
