I was forced to buy one for uni

I don't know what project I'm going to make with it by end of semester.

>>61635538
Pi3, run RetroPie off it. I bought a Pi Zero with the expectation to block telemarketer calls on my landline using a USB modem, but there's a free service that does that so it's sitting there collecting dust. I'd be interested in using the Pi Zero and USB modem for something or another, maybe for fax services.

>>61635596

>I think you have raspberry pi confused with arduino
Eh? How so? Because of robotics? Arduino doesn't have enough MIPS for good robots. You want RasPi3 as a minimum. You can then do stereo vision processing and all kinds of AI with it. Can't do that with Arduino.

Odroid C2 for seedbox

>>61635538
I just fitted a massive heatsink on a Pi3 and called it a day. I was really disappointed I couldn't push it past 1350MHz stable even though the temps never exceeded 60 celsius even after a 15min cpuburn test.

Used it for pihole until I set up pfsense in a VM.

Now it sits under my TV with rasplex so I can stream media to my tv

afew, 3 x piBs, 9 x Pi2s, 2 pi zeros, some olimex thing that isnt very good

debugging my trail camera atm - had it working fine before with just a pi-zero but was a bit big and unwieldy - compacting it down aa but nd adding an arduino. When nothing is happening the arduino powers the pi down, wakes when there is motion.

will be running on 2 x 18650s and hopefully get better life than before - usb battery pack I was using before gave it 30 hours or so

>>61635538
Yeah I have a nano pi that I use as a dedicated dust collector

I have the first gen 512MB, using it for ADS-B autism

Currently installing Gentoo on my 3B, latest stage3 for armv7a is like a year old, compiling newest gcc takes ages.

I got one for emulation , used it for a few months and after the novelty wore off I gave it to my sister , she's having a blast with it playing classic games with my mother

>>61638329
Yeah but it's configured to spoof a 32 bit processor and run in 32 bit by default because the improvements you get with 64 bit are barely worth the additional trouble.

>>61635650
Arduino is great when used as io via usb serial.

Pi 1: Nextcloud, Media Server, Pihole #1 (I eventually upgraded this to a mini itx server becuase I wanted to add more hard drives. When it was a pi, only Nextcloud was a little slow but very tolerable.)

Pi 2: Music server attached to my stereo, Pihole #2

It might have shit compression compared to HVEC but it is better than h264 and not encumbered by the high royalty fees of HVEC. Regardless, I think both HVEC and AV1 will be busts and h264 will probably remain the standard for a very long time.

I love how the autismo Intel shills and other associated fags on here like to dog the RPi because of this or that reason.

It's a perfectly decent machine and would serve any normie just fine for Faceberg, Jewtube, and office appz.

Also it makes a great firewall as long as you're one of the 99.999% of people who has a <100 megabit Internet connection.

I have one and I'm going to buy a Zero to put into my car with an old HT and run Direwolf on it for APRS. I already have that shit going

Enjoy that botnet.

I need a portable power supply that's rechargeable for a raspberry pi, that also allows the raspberry pi to properly shutdown when the batteries are nearly depleted.

What are my options?

Using one raspberry for seedbox and one for programming and webhosting. Would love to get more powerful server but it's not very feasible in student housing and frequent moving.

At least I recently got access to some of my uni's computing clusters so I can just execute anything heavier there.

What...? I bought the Pi for my normie parents as a media PC plugged into their TV and it was over heating with no cooling or with a tiny Pi1 heatsink. When I saw the temps after stress test to see if the cooler actually does its job I thought I might as well get some extra juice out of it.

>>61642990
that's because you've never used alternatives.
quit talking out of your ass.

>>61643016
I've never used the RPi. tell me, what's the difference?
if you just need linux, a CPU and some sort of network, any device will do it, even a cheap ass router with openwrt.
if you need a GPU, then sure, an RPi does have some relatively open drivers... but some x86 APU will be much better.

If you want to make a "robot" like pic related with a RBPi you are going the wrong way.

This "robots" can be easly made with an arduino, and using a RBpi is going over kill.

Now if you want to build a real robot l, autonomus, with real actuatos like stepper or servos, and Input sensors like vision systems then I suggest you to use a RBpi then

>>61643519
Let me know how you plan on running OpenCV on arduino.

>>61643423
oh, and the electronics part... most people don't use the RPi for electronics, but as a cheap PC.
it's supposed to be a cheap computer to learn about hardware and operating systems, but... most people who buy them don't use them as such

>>61636572
>any motor

Can it drive stepper motors?
3-Phase motors?
Universal motors?
Servos?

>>61643554
Do you plan using OpenCV for a robot like pic related as I said?

>>61643566

>>61643555

There is literally no reason to use RPi unless you're using the GPIO pins. The crippled ethernet/usb hub and shitty storage system makes it awful to try and use as a PC or server and you also better run headless. You have to mod the board if you want to actually do anything sensible with it, like power it from the same USB port you connect to your real computer with.

pi zeros could be useful I guess but the normal versions are such shit and are overpriced compared to everything else it's hilarious that people still push them. Like for fuck sake you can't even VNC into the thing and have it be usable because of the usb hub nonsense

Yeah, no shit. I'm sure it won't drive some specialty $100 stepper.
But it will drive pretty much any hobby motor.

>>61643732
you're talking out of your ass. you've obviously never used SBCs. I have a drawer full of them and only RasPi is worth your dollars because everything works with it and you can easily get help and troubleshoot.
you can't even get wifi working with some other ones that are like $10 cheaper.

>motors

take your neet faggot shit to /diy/ with the rest of the blue-collar scum

>>61643797
Thats right

But you could easily modify the circuit and add some lines in the code so you can drive a Bipolar stepper motor and then a Unipolar

Now you have 2 motors more you can add to your "any motor" list

>>61643833
>motors arent technology

>>61643817
>you can't even get wifi working with some other ones that are like $10 cheaper.
why are you even using SBCs if you're this incompetent? RPi has a basic distro(that's out of date and you can't update and expect stuff to work right) where stuff kind of works but not well. Literally the only good thing it does is python GPIO out of the box which is still inferior to arduino even for kids.

>>61643966
>incompetent
I've reviewed every major SBC on YT. over 400k views at the very least. no one has ever called me incompetent in comments yet and YT comments are the absolute worst.

if your time is worthless (or negative) or someone's paying you to use some specific SBC, then by no means do use it.
but if your time has value (more than $10 that some chinkshit SBC saves you), RasPi is the way to go.

it's funny how someone mentioned (probably you) Orange Pi. It's the biggest piece of shit I tried to use. you can't even get wifi working without 30 min of fucking around and trying all kinds of "solutions".

use what you want. I could care less. it's your life you're wasting.

literally doesn't drive any motor except toy motors. you can trigger relays for motors but it's not going to drive anything beyond toys. even if you rig up USB power you'll get maybe a 3w 6v motor barely running and you risk damage to the pi if the motor ever overloads.

>>61644797

>>61644950
I didn't even start this nonsense but you're such a retarded fuck if you expect it to actually drive anything bigger than your dildo motor.

It's not a free platform, because they don't license their code for use on any other hardware, but it is open source, so it's better than nothing.

TinkerBoard would be perfect for your application actually.

>>61662349
Yes, it really does everything that I need, all in one
Just need to find out its idle power consumption

>>61662430
it uses ARM Mali. If you can find any spec for that chip idle power consumptions, you'll know how Thinkerboard will perform. Should be easy.

whats the best game controller for RetroPie?
Plan on building a small gaming console for MAME games...

>>61663749
Classic style, iBuffalo. Want analog, WiiU pro controller.

Obviously an arcade stick.

What's the WiFi on Rpi3 like? I have Zero W and the NFS is fucking awful (500kB or so) and I'm assuming its the WiFi being shit. Should I upgrade?

I want to try making a home server with a pi but can't find a decent case that has enough room for 2 hard drives.

I have a Pi 2 as a Plex server, which it's struggling with a bit. Not sure if a Pi 3 is going to better, or just struggle a little less?

RasPi3 is significantly faster than Raspi2.
