Description

This Pi is equivalent to the Raspberry Pi 3 B Plus, but it lacks a few extra features. It has the same processing power as before, in a much smaller package. The 3 A+ is 20 mm smaller than its big brother, the 3B+, after the removal of several parts and the reduction of RAM. The 1.4GHz clock speed, 5GHz wireless networking, and improved thermals of the Raspberry Pi 3B+.This network module includes a dual-band WiFi module (802.11b/g/n/ac) as well as a Bluetooth 4.2 module.

The addition of a far faster processor is one of the major improvements that came with the Pi 3 A Plus. This improvement replaced the first generation's old outdated single-core ARM processor with an improved quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor clocked at 1.4 GHz. One advantage of the more advanced CPU is that the Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+ could indeed operate most ARM-based operating systems. This improved support is largely due to the CPU's support for the ARMv8 instruction set.

Pinout of the RPi 3 A+ :

The Pi4J Project – Pin Numbering - Raspberry Pi 3A+

Getting Started:

We need a few things before we can start testing the raspberry. We'll need a power supply with a 5V 2500mA rating. The SD card with the installed operating system will be required next. We must prepare the other PC accessories, such as the PC and other computer accessories because this module cannot be connected via a terminal.

The OS that most people use is Raspbian. For formatting the sd card you can use SD Formatter. And to flash the Raspbian OS to the sd card using Etcher. Both of these are free so please feel free to use them. Once the sd card is ready, put it in the sd card slot and power it up.
