- Encourage your IoT

 WHO AM I
- Now leading Raspberry Pi Users Group,A
Japanese Raspberry Pi Community here in Japan.

- Volunteer for Raspberry Pi Foundation - one of

the moderator for official Raspberry Pi Forum
helping the Foundation.
Raspberry Pi is useful for my business?

Someone asking me..

 SURE IT IS!
But please consider Raspberry Pi Foundation is
NPO for children IT education.

And consider Raspberry Pi itself is not so stronger

than any other Embedded board,which is for
factory automation or etc..

but it is very stronger than any other similar one

 ANOTHER ASPECT

Raspberry Pi (Trading) Ltd is trading subsidiary for

their business function.

Raspberry Pi Foundation continues to going on

their charity projects for the children education as
NPO.
 COMPUTE MODULE
Raspberry Pi Compute module is DIMM-sized tiny
PC for embedded computing.

There are some partners which has the products

including Compute Module.

Camera,Audio equipments and etc..

 CUSTOM PI by Element 14
Custom Pi is based on Raspberry PI x customized
by your order

Considering the layout as possible

Remove/Add some devices

5000 units/minimum order quantity (MOQ)

 ON THE OTHER HAND..
In the software aspect is Raspberry Pi useful?

Is it for Electric DIY kits for the GEEK?

Blinking LED,Programable Robots..etc

What we should use Raspberry Pi for business?

Any solutions/thoughts/ideas for IoT?

 TRY AS AUDIO RENDERER

Almost audio renderer and Renderer OS works

fine on Raspberry Pi

Now latest Raspbian supports many USB-DAC

devices with not-recompiling-kernel

be careful to noise..often makes annoyed.

 CASE:RYUKYU BANK

Ryukyu Bank had used Cable Broadcastings for

their branch bank music streaming system.

Now they have replaced it with Raspberry Pi-

based streaming systems and broadcast the musics
from their central information center to all the
branches and plans to broadcast original music..etc
 ROBOTS
ROBOTS is hobby using Raspberry Pi

RAPIRO Raspberry Pi Programable Robot work

fine with Raspberry Pi and Eben loves it.

Lego Mindstorm also works with Raspberry Pi

Using it for the business is a few - but good.

 CASE:FUTUREAGRI
Kabaya-san has dropped out a biggest
manufacturer company to decide the farmer..

but it is very hard work for him to do that and feel

very difficult to employ someone for his help so
he decided using the robot.

He says Raspberry Pi is very cheap and powerful!

 TINY BUSINESS USE
Tiny business use is for the beginner getting used
the business solution and learning how it works.

Almost is like hobby though you can try those

solutions and have the experience crash and build
again and again with the cheap Raspberry Pi

Sure,almost should be used on x86 systems ;)

 CASE:PIZERO CLUSTER

Koichi Nakamuka,CEO of Idein made Raspberry Pi

Zero Cluster unit for tiny HPC.

Eben is very interested in such a very small cluster

and gave the zeros to him fulfill PiZeros on his
units.
 AS A SERVER
Raspberry Pi 3 works great as internet server.

mail,web,dns..

storages

Almost has the packages for Raspberry Pi that

works fine.
 CASE:RASPBERRY PI SITE
Raspberry Pi website system was blogged in this april
fool.

We thought it was fool but NOT.

hosted by mythic-beasts.com a UK cloud carrer.

details: https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/serving-
raspberry-pi-3-launch-raspberry-pi-3/
 MINIO CLOUD STORAGE
Minio is S3-compatible storage that can work on
Raspberry Pi.

it is recommended to work on Raspberry Pi 2 or

upper.

Very easy to install the server.

run the script and check how to upload the file.

 NETWORK DEVICES
There are many 3G/LTE dongle/Wifi boards support
Raspberry Pi

there are some solutions using Raspberry Pis as a

network devices using mobile network.

Live camera ( with Raspberry Pi Cameras)

You can buy some solution kit from those vendors.

 CASE:SORACOM AIR
Soracom is Japanese IoT-specific mobile career
using the programable/UI control management
system.they planing to expand their business over
130 countries.

it can suspend/resume on the cloud

its speeds can control on the cloud

LATEST UPDATES
 HOW ABOUT PIZERO
Pi Zero is still tightly supplied 1unit/person/order
each vendors.ton of demands makes crazy..

There are 4 distributors for PiZero planing to add

more resellers when claiming down..

Adafruits,Pimoroni,PiHut and Microcenter.

Note it is NOT by Element14 and RS components

 ROLLING UPDATES
Raspberry Pi is very old - ARM11-based.

The foundation announces they will produce old

raspberry pi 1 for a while for the education
customers.

a few apps only work on RPi 1

but some has already updated - Camera,RPi A+

 UPDATE PI 3 HARDWARE(1)
Xenon Death Flash fixing - but it could works
xenon closing the devices.

Pi 3 Compute module/Pi 3 model A+ - New! but

havent released - CM already finished testing.
 UPDATE PI 3 HARDWARE(2)
RPi 3 probably needs to have a heatsink for its
CPU

it is over 85 degrees not having it.

5/3A AC is needed but almost works 5/2-2.5A

fulfilled by USB dongles

 UPDATE SOFTWARE
Raspbian still release 32bit - it is only 30% higher
than RPi 2 it is expected and not so faster using 64
bit

Down-compatible is the first priority.

Engineers at the foundation they dont plan

64bit because its speeds are not so improved.
 CONCLUSION

Raspberry Pi is useful for your business.

wondering AGL is supported (but it is for

developers)

might be better factory/business bearable boards.

There are some good case with tiny computing!
