The Pi isn't really a sensor platform. It's more of an 'small computer' platform.Most of the projects which use the Pi end up either being something which needs a fair bit of CPU such as machine vision, A/V controllers, audio processing, web servers, etc. Because of this, I'm not aware of a

The last R-pi I got was an R-pi 3. I got the whole kit and kaboodle for around $50 IIRC. That's the R-pi 3, a 8GB SD card with Raspbian preloaded, case, and power supply. I generally run my pis headless, so that's all I needed to buy to get things running. The R-pi 3 is __way__ faster than

I got to see Tears for Fears and Hall & Oates in one sitting last night. Both good, but Tears for Fears was really on point. Highly recommended if that tour is nearby.
