Compatibility
Compatible with Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu, and other ARM Linux distributions. Supports HATs and GPIO accessories without modification. Works with standard 5V USB-C power supplies and micro-HDMI monitors.
Wiring Notes
For GPIO projects, ensure 3.3V logic levels; a 5V supply can damage the board. Use a 5V/5A USB-C adapter for stable operation under load. The 40-pin header is backward compatible with previous Raspberry Pi models.
Why Buy from Compoden
Every component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.
Is this compatible with Arduino?
The Raspberry Pi is a full computer, not a microcontroller. It can communicate with Arduino via USB, I2C, or SPI, but operates at 3.3V logic—use level shifters if connecting to 5V Arduino pins.
Does the Pi 5 need active cooling?
The Pi 5 can run warm under load; for sustained heavy workloads, an active cooler or fan is recommended. Compoden offers official cases with integrated cooling.
Can it run Windows?
Windows 10/11 is not natively supported, but you can run ARM-based Windows via emulation or install Linux distributions like Raspberry Pi OS or Ubuntu for full functionality.
📦 Free Setup Handoff Document Included
