Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Layout

A powerful feature of the raspberry pi is the row of gpio general purpose input output pins along the top edge of the board.

Raspberry pi 3 model b layout. These are pins which are associated with one another purely by function or not. The first generation raspberry pi model b was released in february 2012 followed by the simpler and cheaper model a. Pinout also includes dozens of pinouts for raspberry pi add on boards hats and phats. In 2014 the foundation released a board with an improved design raspberry pi model b.

In the diagram you ll see that the layout is colour coded with a legend. This gpio pinout is an interactive reference to the raspberry pi gpio pins and a guide to the raspberry pi s gpio interfaces. Prior to the pi 1 model b 2014 boards comprised a shorter 26 pin header. Regardless since your pi specifically says raspberry pi 3 model b v1 2 you can be absolutely sure it is as stated a pi 3 model b.

Mounting holes are off. The holes do not line up. These boards are approximately credit card sized and represent the standard mainline form factor. Pins 1 2 39 40 are also labeled below j8 pinout 40 pin header.

The b s main improvement over the 2016 raspberry pi 3 model b is a boost to processor speed while the b shares the same quad core 64 bit cpu it has been clocked at 1 4ghz a 16 7 increase. Newer computers and game consoles have replaced the old machines where most of us learned to program. In fact the model b was the only model of pi 3 available as of late 2017 the pi 3 model a hadn t yet been released. Raspberry pi 3 model b this third generation model maintains the same popular board format as the raspberry pi 2 and raspberry pi b but boasts a faster 1 2ghz 64bit soc and on board wifi and bluetooth.

Raspberry pi pinout diagram circuit notes how to navigate your raspeberry pi 3 model b if you build it they will program. The raspberry pi 3 model b board contains a single 40 pin expansion header labeled as j8 providing access to 28 gpio pins. I measured the pcb and they are 49 mm apart side to side. Meet the new raspberry pi 4 model b element14 presents.

The raspberry pi gpio pinout guide. Raspberry pi 4 model b frequently asked questions faq. I took this model and laser cut a piece of aluminum to mount a raspberry pi 3 model b v1 2. If you love pinout please help me fund new features and improvements.

A 40 pin gpio header is found on all current raspberry pi boards unpopulated on pi zero and pi zero w.
