The raspberry pi has 40 gpio pins that connect to sensors lights motors and other devices. Not only does the single board computer support more ram a faster processor speed and expanded peripherals but the gpio pins retain their standard functions set by previous models along with extra functions for existing pins. Acrylic is a hard and stiff plastic which is sensitive to stress concentrations and shares a certain level of fragility with glass.
