Raspberry Pi's are "single-board and modular computers or micro controllers, built on the Arm architecture, often running a Linux operating system."
To help out with Raspberry Pi projects at PPM, post your ideas and comments on our Slack #electronics channel.
All our members can work on their Raspberry Pi projects at PPM without any additional required training (Level 1).
