Bundle and save. This bundle has everything you need to get going with the Raspberry Pi Model B+ and it all comes in a watertight, 3 compartment box. This bundle includes a Raspberry PI Model B+, 8GB Micro SD loaded with NOOBS, 5v 1A USB Power Adapter, Micro USB Cable, and a 3 compartment watertight plastic storage box. (USB Cable color is random – but if you truly do not want a particular color, say the word and we will do our best.)

The Model B+ uses the same BCM2835 application processor as the Model B. It runs the same software, and still has 512MB RAM; but has the following key improvements:

• More GPIO. The GPIO header has grown to 40 pins, while retaining the same pinout for the first 26 pins as the Model B.
• More USB. 4 USB 2.0 ports, compared to 2 on the Model B, and better hotplug and overcurrent behaviour.
• Micro SD. The old friction-fit SD card socket has been replaced with a much nicer push-push micro SD version.
• Lower power consumption. By replacing linear regulators with switching ones the power consumption has been reduced to between 0.5W and 1W.
• Better audio. The audio circuit incorporates a dedicated low-noise power supply.
• Neater form factor. aligned the USB connectors with the board edge, moved composite video onto the 3.5mm jack, and added four squarely-placed mounting holes.

The Raspberry PI is based around a Broadcom BCM2835 SoC, which includes an ARM1176JZF-S 700 MHz processor, VideoCore IV GPU, and 512 Megabytes of RAM. This revision B+ board features four mounting holes for easy installation, a built-in reset circuit, and can be powered via the USB data ports. The design does not include a built-in hard disk or solid-state drive, instead relying on an microSD card for booting and long-term storage. And we include the MICRO SD, pre-loaded with NOOBS for you.

8 GB microSDHC Class 4 Flash Memory Card SDC4 preloaded with N00Bs for Raspberry Pi.

NOOBS (New Out of Box Operating System) is the Operating System image for the Raspberry PI. It is not the only choice you can load, but it is recommended for first-time Pi users. You don’t need to buy this MicroSD card with NOOBS, you can download it yourself and image it to a Micro SD (4gb or larger) of your choice. We just made it easier for you, we loaded it all on the Micro SD for you.

You get a 8GB MicroSD card (for RPI Model B+), with an SD adapter (for Raspberry PI Model A, Model B, or your PC/MAC). This is perfect for a Raspberry Pi beginner and convenient for those with more experience

On first boot, NOOBS presents you with a choice of operating systems to install, including Raspbian, Pidora and two flavours of XBMC. Once you have installed an operating system, you can return to the NOOBS interface by holding down shift during boot; this allows you to switch to a different operating system, or overwrite a corrupted card with a fresh install of the current one.

POWER! You can run the RPI from a USB adapter, but not a crappy adapter! This IS the USB adapter you have been looking for. 5volts, 1Amp of pure power - and we have tested it. Using the CHARGE Doctor (which we sell too) and a Multimeter here we measured the voltage at the USB Adapter source and on the Raspberry Pi. The Pi had a wifi dongle, HDMI, Keyboard and Mouse connected. Your results might vary based on the load of your Pi but be assured the USB adapter is a good one.

Of course you will need a USB cable too. We could get you a plain, old boring one, but instead you will get a 3meter colorful one. Color is random, but if you prefer not to get a specific color, make a note and we will do our best.

To make it all nice, we put it all in a 3 Compartment, Water Tight, Plastic Box for you. Use the box to keep the RPI nice and safe between projects. Or Use the box to store your parts and bits from around the workshop.

This Combo makes a Great Gift to get someone started with the Raspberry Pi!
