Raspberry Pi 4 Flirc Kit

Note: The desired Raspberry Pi board has to be ordered via the configurator in addition to this kit.

Raspberry Pi 4 Model B is the latest addition to the popular Raspberry Pi computer family. Compared to the predecessor generation 3 B+, the Pi 4 offers significantly increased processor speed, multimedia performance, memory equipment and connectivity - with full downward compatibility and comparable power consumption. For the end user, Raspberry Pi 4 Model B offers desktop performance comparable to entry-level x86 PC systems.

Key features include a powerful 64-bit quad-core ARM v8 processor, up to 4GB of RAM, dual-display support with resolutions up to 4K thanks to two micro HDMI ports, hardware video decoding up to 4Kp60, dual-band 2.4/5.0 GHz wireless LAN, Bluetooth 5.0 with BLE, Gigabit Ethernet, and USB 3.0. The optional PoE+ HAT supports the Pi 4 Power-over-Ethernet.

Dual-Band WiFi and Bluetooth on the Raspberry Pi 4 have a modular conformity certification, which allows the use of the board in in-house developments with significantly reduced effort to develop conformity tests. A guaranteed production time of the Pi 4 until January 2026 enables its use in professional applications with high demands on long-term availability.

Model overview

At a Glance

Please note the following to get started with the new Raspberry Pi 4:

• The Pi4 requires a power supply with USB-C plug. You can use the new official Raspberry Pi USB-C power supply, or continue using your existing Raspberry Pi 5.1V/2.5A micro-USB power supply with the new official USB-C plug adapter.
• To connect HDMI monitors, you need one or two micro-HDMI to standard HDMI cables.
• Old cases are not compatible with the new Pi4. We recommend the new official Pi4 case. Please note that this case currently has several days delivery time.
• Old HATs and displays as well as all Raspberry Pi cameras are fully compatible with the Pi4.
• The memory card for the Pi4 must be loaded with the latest NOOBS operating system.

Features

New, powerful quad-core processor with 4x1.5 GHz

The new CPU of the Raspberry Pi 4 is now significantly faster than its predecessor, especially thanks to its Cortex-A72 architecture that makes smooth working, surfing and video decoding possible.

Up to 8 GB of memory

The Pi 4 comes with 2, 4 or 8 GB LPDDR4 RAM and offers enough resources for memory-hungry applications.

Two HDMI 2.0 ports with up to 4Kp60

Thanks to two micro HDMI ports, the Pi 4 offers up to 4K60p resolution and dual display support up to 1080p60.

USB 3.0 and real Gigabit LAN

Thanks to its fast PCI-Express connection the Raspberry Pi 4 now offers real Gigabit Ethernet with up to 1000 MBit/s and two USB 3.0 ports for high data throughput.

Dual-Band WiFi with Bluetooth 5.0 and BLE

The WiFi works as usual on 2.4 and 5 GHz according to IEEE 802.11b/g/n/ac standard. Bluetooth is now available in the latest version 5.0 and offers Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) functionality.

Power-over-Ethernet support

With the optional PoE HAT the Raspberry Pi 4 can be supplied with power via its own LAN socket. Data exchange and power supply are thus reliably possible over long distances via one single cable.

Power supply via USB-C

The new USB-C connector not only supports power up to 3A, but also offers USB OTG functionality. Thus the Pi 4 can also be used as a USB device and enables power supply and data exchange via one single cable - even SSH access via a host computer.

Downward compatible GPIO, DSI and CSI ports

The 40-pin GPIO port, DSI display port and CSI camera port is still on board and fully downward compatible to the previous models. Previous HATs, cameras and displays can also be used on the new Raspberry Pi 4 without any problems.
