Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- dual-band Wi-Fi
- Wi-Fi that can use both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio bands. This matters because 2.4 GHz often reaches farther while 5 GHz can be faster and less crowded, giving more flexibility for wireless projects.
- HDMI
- HDMI is a common digital video and audio connection used by computers, media players, and many displays. If a display kit has HDMI input, it is usually much easier to test with a single-board computer because it can act like a normal monitor.
- LPDDR4
- A low-power type of RAM commonly used in phones and embedded computers. More LPDDR4 memory lets a board run larger programs, Linux services, or AI models more smoothly.
- microSD card
- A microSD card is a small removable flash memory card used to store data such as audio, images, logs or program files. Its capacity and formatting (often FAT32 or exFAT) affect how much can be stored and whether the card needs preparing before use.
- RAM
- RAM (random-access memory) is fast, temporary memory a device uses for working data while it is running; in its common volatile form, its contents are lost when power is removed. Some devices offer a mode that applies settings to RAM only, which is handy for testing changes temporarily because they are not stored permanently and disappear at power-off.
- USB 2.0
- USB 2.0 is a widely used wired standard for carrying both data and power between a device and a computer or other compatible host, with data rates up to 480 Mbps. It indicates the kind of port a device uses and that it should work with most modern and many older computers.
