The Raspberry Pi is a low-cost, credit-card-sized single-board computer that has been widely adopted in Wi-Fi/CSI sensing research as a compact and affordable platform for deploying wireless sensing systems in real-world environments. Its significance to the field lies in its ability to run Wi-Fi interface drivers capable of extracting Channel State Information (CSI), enabling researchers to build practical, deployable sensing nodes without relying on expensive dedicated hardware. Common variants used in sensing research include the Raspberry Pi 3 and Raspberry Pi 4, which differ in processing power and wireless chipset support, with compatibility depending on the specific CSI extraction tool or firmware patch being employed.
