Santa Catcher Raspberry Pi Kit
The Santa Catcher Raspberry Pi kit is aimed at supplying all the hardware needed for a project which involves tracking and logging movement using the Raspberry Pi.
The RASPBERRY-MODA plus 256M is a credit card sized single board computer that plugs into your TV and keyboard. This is a little PC which can be used for many of the things that desktop PC does. The design is based on Broadcom BCM2835 system on chip with 700MHz single core ARM1176JZF application processor, Dual Core VideoCore IV Multimedia coprocessor and 256MB RAM. Raspberry Pi A plus board is powered with 5V micro USB connection and work on reliable operating system such as Raspbian, RaspBMC, Arch Linux, RISC OS, OpenELEC and Pidora.
Unleash your Raspberry Pi from its keyboard, mouse and monitor! With PiFace™ Control & Display you can put your Raspberry Pi where you would never think possible. Saves space and power by removing the need for a monitor, yet still providing a user interface. Display status information, messages and menus, and then control your Pi with an IR remote control or onboard buttons with PiFace™ Control & Display.
Wi-Pi is a high performance, cost effective WLAN USB module which connects the Raspberry Pi low cost computer, to a Wi-Fi local area network. Wi-Pi uses the latest 802.11n Wireless Technology, and can support data rates of up to 150 Mbps, compared with older 54 Mbps 11g products. It also benefits from a higher wireless LAN bandwidth, making data transmission more efficient.
The Pi NoIR gives you everything the regular camera module offers, with one difference: it does not employ an infrared filter. (NoIR = No Infrared.) This means that pictures you take by daylight will look decidedly curious, but it gives you the ability to see in the dark with infrared lighting.
