The Raspberry Pi single-board computer recorded a massive sale of 640,000 in March this year, which obviously has a lot to do with homework and study during the new coronavirus epidemic in response to government calls.
Raspberry Pi co-founder Eben Upton said in an interview with TechRepublic that many families are currently facing the problem of competing for computer use rights, and the Raspberry Pi can meet part of the needs of a group of DIY enthusiasts who love toss.
Due to the increasing number of severe cases of COIVD-19, first-line medical care is also faced with the problem of ensuring the urgently needed supplies such as ventilators.
To this end, many car companies and technology companies are looking for available resources and transforming to manufacture equipment such as ventilators, and the Raspberry Pi open-source community can just make it useful in device control and monitoring.
Due to the lack of personal protective equipment (PPE), many 3D printing manufacturers and business enthusiasts have developed, and shared vinyl acetate printed masks that can be quickly assembled and donated to hospitals.
Among these device solutions, many devices are driven by the Raspberry Pi, such as the popular 3D printing management platform OctoPrint, which can run well on the Raspberry Pi.
