Originally published at: What to buy for your Raspberry Pi 5
Back in January 2014, I ordered my first Raspberry Pi (Model B revision 2). Very soon, I realized that there was a host of options to choose from for the required accessories needed to get started. As such, I spent months of research and testing to ensure that I didn’t keep wasting time replacing accessories…
The goal is to have an optimum Raspberry Pi experience. I also think a Real- Time Clock is also a very good acquisition. It doesn’t ever stop ticking. When your Pi is even turned off, the RTC keeps ticking and it helps with scheduled tasks and timestamps. Projects like data acquisition and DIY alarm systems can benefit greatly from it.
