SBC Thread - Raspberry Pi Zero Edition

can this play anime in my living room

>>51535855
I don't know about 10-bit, but regular shit, yes

Even Lincoln is unimpressed.

Is it powerful enough to set an emulator box up to snes era?

But why would I want one? I have more than enough capable devices.

>>51535846
>go to order one
>literally sold out everywhere
Typisk

>>51535876
It should be, I was playing N64 and PlayStation games on a tablet with a 700MHz A8

>>51535879
I'm hyped because I want to build a just because cluster, and these are cheap enough to have a decent number of nodes with an easily justifiable price.

>>51535888
Yeah, I'm trying to find one, probably going to have to wait

>>51535879
It's literally $5. Skip ONE Big-Mac this week and you can have something that will last a lot longer. You should use the opportunity to be a bit creative instead of shoveling food into your face fatty McFattykins

>>51535901
Forgive my ignorance, but what is the point of a cluster? What kind of advantages would you get?

Anyone found where to buy them? I saw they were free with MagPi issue 40, but they seem sold out everywhere as well.

>>51535914
Clusters are advantageous for workloads that can be heavily threaded. You have a controller node that distributes tasks and collects results to and from the slave nodes

>>51535904
I already have a computer that does everything the raspi can, but well.

I was thinking of picking one up a couple days ago but fuck they pricey for those specs.
These look perfect for what I want, I will legit buy like 5 of the things.

>>51535934
Yes but is it the size of your penis?

>>51535914
>a just because cluste
>just because
>why?

Also they're fun.

>>51535937
I think I have an old android phone that fits the bill.

>>51535935
> I will legit buy
You can un-legit buy things?

>>51535951
you can on the blackmarket

>>51535846
>out of stock everywhere
Why even live.

A computer - even one as minimal as this - for $5 is seriously impressive to me. Not much use to me personally, as a computer that's not networked is pretty useless to me, but I can see the potential it has. I'm half tempted to get one anyway, largely for the novelty value.

>>51535962
>not being able to buy a toy makes you suicidal

I'd rather spend $15 and get a much much better board

Better even than the RPi 2

>>51535981
Look where you are mate, this is /g/, it's basically all about toys anyway.

>>51535951
All the shills on /g/ saying "I totally bought this" or "There are so awesome, I'm totally buying this"
Turns out my late 90's vocabulary has the best of me, because I can't find anywhere that hasn't totally sold out of the Zero.
>>51535962
Brings me back to when the first Pi was just released and everyone was waiting for the things.
Wonder how much more efficient they are at making the things now?
Looks like the things just have the SoC and a few other discrete components, not all that much to source.

>>51535983
"Better" can be pretty subjective. What is "much much better" to you for $15?

What SBC are you rocking /g/?
I've got a CI20. I was hyped for the CI40 with its hyperthreading, but the specs put me off a bit.

>mini HDMI
>USB-OTG adapter required for USB-A peripherals
Why? Because we don't already have too many adapters for everything? How precious is that 2mm thickness?

Those adapters will definitely cost you more than the device itself.

This almost sounds like a perfect use-case for USB-C if the port wasn't so new.

>You can by an SD card for it so that the computer itself is negligible in price
I say it's fucking impressive. The only reason to buy is the GPIO though.

They not sold out everywhere retards.

>5,69eur - you literally could buy another one for everything you want to do. That's the power of this shit - want a little server application - buy one. Want clock? Buy another one.

>>51536043
Mommy says I don't have enough good boy points to buy it :/

>>51536043
Because it's more than $15

>>51536023
>This almost sounds like a perfect use-case for USB-C if the port wasn't so new.
Probably would be. But the primary goal for the Pi is being cheap.

>>51536053
So what is $15 that has the features you want?

>>51536070
Well, let's see, compared to the Pi Zero, my $15 board has all this >>51536029

Which is also what the Pi 2 B has

But the Pi 2 B is way more than $15, so I went for the $15 one

>>51536050
Anywhere with intl shipping have them in stock? Every US site I've checked is sold out

>>51536078
And what is your $15 board?

>>51536078

Is there a reason you're avoiding naming that board after spending four posts praising it?

>>51535846
i'm only interested if I can get rosyln/mono to work on it.

I sorta want one, but I would only use it for running a tor bridge relay, so I think the pi 2 is better right?

>>51536157
>>51536179
pihut is an official retailer i believe.

>>51536251
yeah, I would only use the Pi Zero for wearable projects.

To those who have Orange or Banana or whatever, are they truly as compatible as they claim? Experience has taught me to be a bit skeptical of anything that's claimed to be "oh yeah, totally compatible with X".

What are some cool projects that you can do with this thing?

lol, i'd rather kill myself then live a life where I can only eat 6 big macs a week instead of my regular 7

>>51536325
The performance would be abysmal

These things have zero network connection is that correct?

>>51536341
you have to use a USB Ethernet adapter

>>51536341
They don't have ethernet or wifi built-in, but I guess one could some sort of a microusb wifi thing.

>>51536325
you need a display too.

>>51536288
Im >>51536223 I had some frustration over installing a not-so-usual usb wifi adapter (tp link tlwn722n) but otherwise than that I cant remember anything that wasnt compatible.

though Id go for raspberry pi if it had a SATA port, since there are so much more things already prebuilt for you, all kinds of firmware, and automated scripts for obnoxious wifi adapters and such

Can that orange pi thing play 1080p full Bd movies?

>>51536395
CLI still needs a display. Unless you're using it by remote over the network, but at that point it's no longer a desktop as such.

Alternatively, you could hook a dumb terminal up to it, but that's still technically a display.

>>51535846
why would they use microusb?
Even if they wanted to save space, you are still going to waste more just by using an adapter

>>51536472
It'll ultimately be because it's cheaper - either for the ports themselves or the space on the board for them.

hejsan sverige nörd!

>>51535846
It has only one usb port

How much is MagPi at US newsstands?

i dont know anything about programming or coding but i'd quite like to learn some things

should i get one of these? what cool uses do they have besides emu/netflix systems?

>>51536561

the regular pi's only have 100mbit ethernet which shares bandwidth with the usb port, you'd get nowhere near the bandwidth saturation of your line using any pi variant

>>51536649
What about orange?

>>51536633
If you can't think of uses for these things then don't buy one. There are people who actually have uses for these but can't find them in stock because faggots waste the supplies.
Not that I care anyway.

You can setup a small torrent/web server if you are into that. or a vpn server too
Real powerusers would be making their own circuits and connect them to the pi via gpio to control them

Already pre-ordered one, gonna use it to replace the RPi B in my ghetto sonos music streamer. Almost didn't buy one because it doesn't have a 3.5mm audio port, but then I remembered I was using a usb sound card...

All the real nerds would just use cheaper/better shit, they don't care if you give the money to a charity organization for starving paralyzed Jewish gay African midget cancer children who have to watch nothing but 1980's cartoons. I don't care if it costs $50, I want one of these pissboards with hardware that I can actually use without having some third-party shim made of petrified cow shit holding it together.

ooooor just get a dead T61 orrather X61 and gut it, so you can fill it with the RPi zero

It's fawking 5 bucks.... I'll buy them just to catch them on fire. Well anyways should I just buy one issue of the magazine, and get it for free. (im having some issue in the payment where the currency is euro) What is the pratical use for this I have a laptop for tweaking that is almost twice as powerful, and I think its fucking terrible. Am I gonna connect this to my toaster? Like really

Man I might get one of those and hook it up to the TV just for that extra laziness of only using the TVs remote.

I've got USB ports on my router, I can hook up my external HDD to one of those.
And ideally set up the Pi to download torrents on it and have Kodi play the movies off of it.
Either way I'm getting one of those single board computers just to play around with.

>>51537942
I've seen them being powered over GPIO but not multiple boards networked over GPIO. Image search yields Ethernet cables everywhere.

>>51537880
USB is still technically serial

What can the GPIO used for exactly?
Can it be used to emulate com ports?

>>51538068
Google is your friend

But basically, you could use the PI as if it was a microcontroller

>>51537990
Well 2 pis I'm pretty sure would be fine. There's only 1 UART RX and 1 TX. I'm not sure how connecting more than 2 pis would work. To be honest, I haven't messed around with it much.

You can use it for all kinds of shit. I've seen people powering the Pi through GPIO, using it to wire up arcade buttons, there's a serial interface you can use so you don't need a monitor or ssh to access. Some guy even made a VGA adapter so you can have multiple displays.

This shit should be cheaper, or at least they could have added WiFi+BT

>>51538342
dual core 1.2 ghz, run worse? even has a screen included.

>>51538334
And you'd spend about $20 putting a proper HDMI socket and SD reader on it.

How does it compare to CHIP?

>>51538334
Pretty sure they aren't making a profit or even cutting even on those $10 phones

especially once you factor in walmart's cut, the distribution, assembly and the R&D

My best bet is that LG is dumping old stock away
>>51538388
Because you have to factor in the fact that these SBCs can run straight (GANOO +) Linux, without the JVM overhead

>>51538303

Not worth it for the performance, but RPi's have been used to do distributed computing research on the cheap.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_r3z1jYHAc

>>51538479
It's also highly unpractical and would overheat easily if used as a computer. Also it obviously has a terrible video output.

Obviously mass produced phones will be cheaper than smaller production minicomputers, but they're still very different products.

I don't know much about raspberry pi's but could this one run a team speak server?

>>51538558
It will run mumble for sure.
so maybe

I'm genuinely thinking about strapping a battery to it and using it as a MP3 player.

Is the audio output good enough or should I add a USB soundcard?

>>51538598
...why not just buy a shitty chinese MP3 player?

That CPU is very, VERY slow, like the P2 200-300MHz days. It cannot under any circumstances play h264 10b, it barely handles DTS sound.

Still, you may get it to play with something like Plex and transcoding, with the inherent quality loss compared to native playback. It may not be noticeable.

Yeah because they're made of the most powerful computers they could find. When you make a cluster of the cheapest and less powerful computer you can find, it'll perform worse than an appropriately priced computer.

Clusters aren't magic, computers just don't become more powerful than the some of their parts when grouped together.

So as a regular and average retard what will this miniature computer do for me?
