Now these day i become easy to build project

I'm a big fan of this for a few reasons. 1: 1.4 GHz processor. There's many times where I'm running something and I wish there was a little more overhead. Or I notice a little lagging during high processing applications. 2: Built in b/g/n/ac wifi, and 4.2 BLE. DOWNSIDE, bluetooth uses the I2C bus. So if you want to use I2C you have to disable bluetooth or use the alternative pins that comes with a few caveats. 3. Ethernet now "Gigabit" cough 300Mbps. For me this is one device I always like to have an extra laying around. The best use I have found is for my 3D printer. I noticed lagging and problems with the video and g-code processing with Pi3B. The Pi3B+ has shown no issues. The only downside where a beaglebone or arduino still shines is the connectivity with SPI/I2C. Pi has focused more on the micro-computing in recent boards.

Very nice little machine. The usual super easy set-up and install via Raspbian. Really nice default desktop setup.

Too many tabs open in Chromium browser will cause out of memory (OOM) killer.

Linux+wifi works well. Not all the hardcore tools are supported on the BRCM wifi chipset. But was able to plug in a USB wifi that supported the modes I needed.

Continuing to tinker with it.

Small, powerful, simple, with unlimited possibilities on its gpio interface.

The Pi 3 b+ itself was without surprises. I already have most of the stuff in the "kit", but did shop for Pi 3B specific support items. All the Pi stuff is lumped together, and if you try to order the IoT book by itself you are sent to the publisher's web site, NOT SparkFun's.

SparkFun has SO MANY shields, adapters, & break-out boards it can take a while to find what you want. If you know hardware in general (I do) you can adapt a GPIO pin (for example) to just about anything. If you want to find direct connect stuff that plugs and connects correctly to specifically the Pi expansion header it can be a challenge to filter out all the other stuff.

How about a (regularly updated) matrix with single board micros along one axis, all the moderately general purpose IO boards along the other, and a small note at the intersection for "Plugs & Plays", etc.

Without having carried out an exhaustive test the RPi is fulfilling the expectations. Raises a little more temperature than the previous model but without exceeding. One of the RPi is dedicated to streaming video and the other to intensive use. Sorry I can not give you more data.

I configured my Pi to run Octoprint controlling my Lulzbot Taz6 3D printer. Slotted in a 16GB SD card and power supply from Sparkfun. Printed a sick case for it. Had to drill out the mounting holes by a blonde one to get my M3_.50x16 screws to fit. Haven't tried the wireless ethernet as I'm hardwired. HDMI port works well too. It acceped my keyboards and mice no problem too. I'll be adding a webcam shortly. Looking at the usage percentages of the hardware I don't think I have tapped more than a percentage of the Pi's power.

The new Pi is great. With all the upgrades that have been made it is getting closer and closer to a real computer. I usually use the device headless in an embedded system so, that doesn't matter to me but it is an excellent piece of hardware with excellent support.

We use these to drive HD TVs in high traffic retail locations, functions well if enough Wifi speed.

Been toying with this little machine, getting it to automate tasks that I am tired of doing.

The Raspberry Pi is just loads of fun. It's easy to get started and there are tons of fun things to build and try.

I still haven't tried any sensor type stuff, but am constantly amazed at how great the Pi is for a little computer. I live off grid, so most of what I do is using solar panels, so I am using the Pi with a 12 volt to 5 volt adapter, uses way less power than the laptop ;) Thanks for the great service!

Easy to use and very versatile!

Once again the Rpi sets the bar even higher for single board Linux development platforms. It has everything necessary for a green desktop and/or server IOT platform.

It runs Linux, it has ethernet Wifi and bluetooth! It will solve world hunger and save cats from trees!

If you have a problem, a Raspberry Pi will solve it! If you are unemployed, get one of these. They're cheap, and the employers will come knocking! Also, with the Four USB Ports, it can connect to ANYTHING!*

If you have a problem, this bad boy right here can help. If you didn't know, Chuck Norris keeps one in his man purse, powered by his roundhouse kicks. He uses it as a warning before sending bad guys to the next count. If they see a Raspberry Pi, and think that he doesn't mean business, well, I guess they deserved to be knocked into next Tuesday.

Also With all them IO pins, you can connect ALL THE THINGS! I mean seriously, I connected my pet rock, and he looked at me in a way he never did before. Using the GPIO pins, I played i SPI with my toddler and she replied with I[happy]2C you!.

In order to delay the inevitible robot apocolypse I sugges not connecting a camera to the CSI camera port. If a Raspberry Pi can SEE what's around it, then it will for sure take over the world and give us all Free heath care and puppies for all. (Sorry Bernie!)

Just be sure you know the power of a fully armed and operation Raspberry Pi before you get one.

P.S. Don't forget a microSD card or a power supply it needs those to function

This is a great platform for small embedded computer projects! I'm using mine as a ham radio "modem" and APRS IGate with a Coastal Chipworks TNC-Pi.

Performance is great for octopi with a camera streaming my print jobs. I used to use the printers lcd interface and SD cards. Octopi provides a much better experience for loading and monitoring prints and managing the printer. This raspberry pi 3 B+ works perfectly.

I love the Pi and have built an entire eco system around it (PiBox - piboxproject.com). I've have used, at one point or another, every model except the compute and Model 4. I bought the 3B+ for use as remote webcams using USB cameras (not the Pi camera).

This 3B+ wifi requires different firmware than the 3B and I was never able to make it work in a stable manner, such as be available on every boot. I've got lots of wifi dongles used for the Model 2 so used those instead and they are stable. I'll keep digging on what's wrong with the 3B+ but I've seen other reports of troubles with its wifi so my next purchase will probably be a 3B, if I can still get them. The 3B wifi seems stable enough for my uses.

Product delivered on time, as usual. Sparkfun is always a reliable source for my parts and I thank you for that.

I'm using this Pi with great success to replace my home linux server/router/firewall. Pretty easy to setup with the lightweight Raspbian distro, and TP Link USB Gigabit Ethernet adapters work well in addition to the built-in Ethernet port. Very low latency, but I believe it's performance is limited to around 300 Mbps due to USB 2.0, so this works well for most internet connections but I'd want something else if I got gigabit.

Have finally gotten my hands on a Pi 3+. Board looks like the Pi 3 but with double sided components. It retains the 40 pin GPIO, camera and display connections. I found that it will not boot Raspian stretch, nor Windows 10 IOT. Raspian Noobs works well however. I suspect that Stretch just has not been updated to the new Broadcom processor so it should work in the future. I have not had a chance to work with any of the interfaces but would expect it to be pretty much like its predecessor

As with all of the Pi's, the B+ works flawlessly.

Once I cleared the download Rasperian and install OS hurdle, the Pi is fantastic. I would highly recommend getting the PI with WiFi built in, just saves a headache of network cables. The OS is pretty slick, I wasn't expecting a Windows Like visual interface, very impressive.

New dual band WiFi is much nicer, and the performance is much better. Currently running as a server for vehicle performance analysis.

I received the RPi 3 B+ in a timely manner as promised. Your website tells the status of the order, every step of the way. I could even track the shipping by beginning at your button.

I own the Pi 1 B, Pi 3 B, Pi Zero, Pi Zero W, and now this Pi 3 B+. This is easily the most performant Raspberry Pi to date. I haven't put this through all of its paces, but out of the box it boots right up with a power supply and SD card. I also got a clear case from Sparkfun, which to me is the best Pi case on the market.

It works great as a desktop replacement for low computational applications. It will eventually become an octoprint server for my ender3

bought for my grandson and son. they put it together and it worked for one time then quit. They have replaced multiple components and contact the company with no assistance . I spent $300 on a piece of junk. Would not recommend to anyone

My son has used this Pi for more projects than I can count. I still can't believe he was able to get such a great little computer for less than a single network adapter used to cost. Great for STEM learning. At the time (3yrs ago), this had everything we were looking for in a tiny computer. Looking forward to stepping up to a Pi 4 that has more memory, USB 3, USB-C and multiple video outputs. It's amazing what they can pack into these tiny devices.

Hopefully this is a sign of things to come getting back to normal availability. This is the first site that had them in years. Their notification works well.

The 3b+ is the first PI I ever bought and I have one that self hosts a critical app / db. Wanted a spare just in case. Now I can rest easier.

Love it, and love that it is back in stock.

I received a product with a broken package. It seems someone opened it sideways, instead of front and it is unable to be sold. None of my customers will accept it in this condition. Very bad support; they responded to me after 22 days and sent me a damaged box.
