Raspberry Pi – Revision 2 DIY Add-On Board

On the Raspberry Pi, there are several connections which can be used for expansion:
1,  The Rpi GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) pins are exposed, that means that expansion
boards are able to talk directly to the CPU.
2, The DSI connector will allow low-level interfacing with LCDs and other displays.

3,  The CSI connector will allow camera modules to be added in future.
