Pi Zero pro's
-On-board HDMI port
-MicroSD slot

Pi Zero con's

CHIP pro's
-On-board wifi and bluetooth
-Ethernet port

CHIP con's
-Composite video only, unless you buy the $15 HDMI attachment
-No MicroSD slot, just 4GB storage built into it

I wish the Pi Zero and CHIP would fuck and have a baby so that the best aspects of both of them combined into a single $5-$9 tiny computer. On their own, neither are perfect.

Couldn't this control a 3d printer?

>>51607290
I don't see how the pi has a con with needing more stuff. The size limit does that.

>>51607303
you can control a 3d printer with a arduino

I forgot to mention that CHIP has a full-sized usb port, it has wifi and bluetooth as well so you really don't need to stick much onto it.

>>51607238
No built-in network interface, so no. You could hook up a bunch of USB network adapters (or one adapter and a decent switch) but it'll be slow as fuck since everything has to be squeezed through that low-bandwidth USB2 link.

How difficult would it be for me to make this into a Linux computer in a pack of gum? Any extras I'd need to buy? I kind of have a monitor, keyboard and mouse sitting here doing nothing, so I figured it'd be fun.

>>51611026
It's a niche product.
The smaller size will be useful for some, but most people buying it are doing so because it's only $5. They don't see the other costs. Accessories and shit.
An anon earlier mentioned the orange oi pc that's $15, I'd say that's a pretty good deal if price is an issue.
If you want community support get the pi2 or pi b.

>"Raspberry releases Pi Zero for $5"

So, I'd better buy a B2 I guess? Or is ther anything inbetween? I just want to run syncthing with a 64GB usb drive and don't care much about speed

>>51611059
That's not a powered hub, but it looks pretty cool.
I wouldn't use it since it'll draw all its power directly from the pi.

Still, it's going to cost more than $5, and too many people ignore that when they decide to buy it.

I think it actually is, it seems to have a small dc jack on the side. It just doesn't come with a power adapter.

>I wouldn't use it since it'll draw all its power directly from the pi.
That isn't a problem if the Pi power supply is decent.
At least the Pi2B can handle 1.2A power draw without problems.

you can plant it into a steel mountain network and fuck with the tempatures to fuck up all the redundant magnetic tape backups obviously.

>>51610994

If you can't run anything more complex than these, then you can't run a pi

>>51610994

though neither have pre-made ARM images (well, last i checked), so you'd need to put such a system together yourself

>>51611245

Yeah a thing I wanted to run on it was only x86 and no source to compile it for the arm.

Could it handle a screencast on a stock ubuntu? Not video game recording, but screen recording at 30fps. That's without encoding to x264 after.

>>51613303
I think the PI's chip has hardware x264 encoding.

It definitely can't handle software encoding.

>>51613322
You're right. Any idea if it could handle recording like this? If this is like intel's quick sync, then it sounds promising.

Does anywhere say what the power draw of these things is?
Kinda interested in getting one, a GPIO screen, battery and a mini keyboard and making a wallet sized laptop.

I've actually been thinking about this:

Could we work together to build a minimal, but highly functional computer using multiple Raspberry Pis hooked up in parallel? Or is there a cheaper alternative?

>>51614898
>Or is there a cheaper alternative?
Everything?

>>51614970
>Everything?

How is that even possible? (I don't actually know, so inform me.)
A Raspberry Pi Zero is 512MB and 1GHz for $5. It superficially seems that there would be a way to hook many of them in parallel to make a more powerful computer.

>>51613487
It sucks, but the only things that can play 1080p 10-bit video smoothly are core2duos or better.
Meaning you should build an HTPC if you don't want to be completely disappointed.

>>51615047
Because there would be a ton of overhead with a Pi cluster - not just processing power but also costs.

Two 1GHz computers networked into a cluster configuration are way way less functional than even a 1GHz dual-core.

Not to mention frequency means shit, Pi has a shitty ARMv6 instruction set

>>51615047
you could make a cluster of them, but the zero's cpu is just a higher clocked pi1 cpu, which is dog slow
most of the power is in its gpu cores, and a cluster of gpus is a rather special case
it is absolutely possible to make a cluster of them, but i'm not sure if it would really be any cheaper than something like a single ITX board with a "bigger" cpu/gpu

it's all down to performance per dollar, that is, it won't do any good if you had say, an arbitrary performance of "5" for the $5 machine, vs. a $50 machine with a performance of "100", as that would make the $50 twice as cost-effective, even compared to $50 worth of $5 machines in a cluster

>>51604372
Yes, this has piqued my interest. I'll spend 5 dollars and some time for pranks.

>>51615047
also, incase you don't know, there's a big difference between programs that function on a single machine, and programs that run on clusters
you can't expect to run any normal "big" programs directly on a cluster, programs for clusters need to be designed such that the job they perform can be split n-ways and distributed between the nodes of the cluster

a simple example would be a program which encodes a folder full of mp3's into say, opus format, the program may move an mp3 file to each node and instruct them to encode that mp3, and send the resulting opus file back (to the main/controlling/master node), thereby speeding up the overall goal of encoding every file in the folder

>Also, you're probably better off with the PocketCHIP
Why? What extra features does it offer that would be beneficial in this case, other than incredibly expensive shipping, exposed PCB, and a really shitty keyboard?

>>51603843
All the shit you can do with an Arduino, and even more.

People jump on it just because it's $5, but really, this isn't as much of a "tiny computer" as others, and more of a hobbyist board that packs more power than usual, and that's mostly designed to be used for its GPIO and embedded in stuff thanks to its small size.

The lack of Ethernet is the most problematic, on top of the crucial lack of a sound output, and the small size USB and HDMI make it highly unpractical. I'd love to use it myself for small portable devices, but still, it's going to be a lot of trouble with all those adapters.

>>51615800
it comes with a much better screen, custom case, chargeable battery, and is more powerful.

>>51615839
Pi sucks for that though.
BeagleBone is much better for GPIO use.

>>51615839
>The lack of Ethernet is the most problematic

Use a USB->Ethernet adaptor. That's all it is on the model B's anyway.

>on top of the crucial lack of a sound output

There's digital audio on the HDMI. Or use a USB soundcard.

You're still not gonna play it.
PSP has a nice screen and solid controls and can be found dirt cheap.
Plus your little autism box doesn't play PSP games, or anything made past 1991 really.

>>51615861
>much better screen
That's larger, I chose the 2.8" screen specifically because it's small.

>custom case
Featuring exposed PCB, the goal of a case is to protect the shit inside, not leave parts exposed so you can kill the thing with ESD. Also playing older games with an actual gamepad > using a keyboard with your thumbs.

>is more powerful
>same amount of RAM
>same clock rate
>slightly newer processor architecture
Barely, probably won't even make a noticeable difference.

>be found dirt cheap.
At the low price of about $70 where I live.

When do you think the Gameboy Advance was made?

>>51615960
The point of your post seemed to be to complain about things that weren't actually a problem?

For a start you're making a bizarre assumption that every portable device needs Ethernet. There's plenty of applications where Ethernet would be unnecessary.

>>51616034
>The point of your post seemed to be to complain about things that weren't actually a problem?
My post isn't complaining about anything, simply explaining that the Zero isn't meant to be a small computer like other Pis. And yes, a small computer likely needs ethernet.

I think you're trying to disagree with me when we're both saying the same thing.

70 dollars is nothing for a nice comfy, well made handheld that plays most things with no fuss and can even play project diva.

Even if you do manage to replicate the usability of a cfw'd psp, it's going to end up costing you much more than $70, and that's being generous.
I'm sure your time isn't completely worthless.

they already did though

even comes with a case with display and keyboard

has even less ports than the zero though

>>51608038
No, c++ has no compatibility with the pi zero because it's partitioned arm processor is incapable of running any OS like Win10 that c++ supports. Save your money anon, and get a Surface Pro if you want to learn programming, it will make your life a lot easier.

>>51616410
If this had one more port on the other side, I would not be against it.

If you compare it to equally spec'd machines (and by equally spec'd I mean equal specs, no Atom CPU's or 1366x768 displays) the new Macbook isn't even that expensive. The Samsung Ativ Book 9 and HP EliteBook Foilio 1020 both start at $1199.

The whole Apple tax thing is something majorly blown out of proportion by winshills doing shitty comparisons with i7's compared to Xeon's, regular RAM to EEC RAM, TN panel monitors to IPS ones and so forth.

>>51616886
Good to know.
Do you thing it's possible to try Mac OS X on vmware ?
It would be stupid to spit on it without at least trying it.

>both start at $1199
>Apple tax
Don't know if it's the same but I understood "the brand price". As on every product one part you pay comes from the brand. The same product (if exists) without the brand name on it is less expensive.
In that case, it seems that everyone does so.

What is the power usage for Orange Pis for both idle and load? On Pi zero is really low, at 120mA underload

Couldn't you accomplish everything the pi and the chip do,with a decent spare cell phone? What am I missing here?

Better shove it up your ass, at least you will be able plug some cables or let out the antenna for the WiFi, if you see what I mean.
I just hope the question was not serious, cause this answer is not.

For the interested, I found is a table of the Orange Pi models specs (Pi, Pi+, Pi 2 & Pi PC) along with the Raspberry Pi 2.

The USB one should work though.

What's with computer aesthetics these days?
Do you enjoy sitting next to your computer with a warm cup of tea admiring now nice it looks?
Because I just fucking assemble it and never look at it again except for maintenance.

>>51619401
>What's wrong with aesthetic ?
Nothing.
If you buy an Orange Pi, I thing the orientation of the CPU is one of the last things you should see in the aesthetic.
Maybe it was to make it the more compact.
Yet it is somehow a little frustrating to see that it is the only thing not aligned.
Some may say it's ugly just because it's only a card with soldered component.
But after all aesthetic is just a point of view.

You can find cooling systems for rPi from simple radiators to water cooling.
Don't know if it is useful for overlocking or just placebo.

>>51619772

My Pi 2 idles at 40C and gets up to 55C under load. A heatsink will lower the temps by a couple of degrees.
