Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+

The Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+ is a compact single-board computer featuring a 64-bit quad-core 1.4GHz Broadcom BCM2837B0 processor, dual-band wireless LAN (2.4GHz and 5GHz), and Bluetooth 4.2/BLE. It shares the same smaller mechanical footprint as the original Pi 1 Model A+, making it ideal for embedded and space-constrained projects.

With 512MB of RAM, a full-size HDMI port, and a single USB 2.0 port, the 3A+ is well-suited for lightweight applications such as media players, IoT gateways, and dedicated controller projects where the full connectivity of the Model B+ isn't required.
