Pi

Well great
Now I got another reason to kill myself

Because Jow Forumseniuses rather have 10 threads about writing fizzbuzz in C or haskell than descending from their pedestals and use Python.

BASIC more sample

Ugh...
I...

I can't disagree

>Memory (SDRAM)
1 GB (shared with GPU)

Will they change this in the future ?
The addition of USB boot capabilities in Raspberry Pi 3 B+ is nice, though.

>Why
there's not much to discuss.
Most people that got pi's don't even really know what to do with them once they actually have them. The "idk what to do with my pi"-threads are the most common about pi's.
And the people that actually use them mostly just play around running toy programs on "minimal" hardware.

Raspberry Pi is great, one of these days I'll get around to finish my machine learning based LED blinking project

Wouldn't it be better to have Pi threads on /diy/?

Meh
KInda goes into both

why arent there more atmel threads?

I think that you're bettter off just going to pi forums.

Pi is basically the worst non-chinkshit single board computer. The only people who would shill it are retards who dont know better but got roped into buying one or literal involved-corporates.

I unironically support learning in BASIC before python.

Arduino is too plebeian for Jow Forums, stuff outside Arduino (be it bare metal ATmega or anything ARM) requires actual programming skills and thus is never discussed,

I have a zero but everything I tried with it was too much, and when you try simple shit it's way too power-draining to use feasibly. Worst of both worlds.

Onion omegas are like

funfact: VGA Doesn't even need any real programming skills. You just need to understand how the timing work, then set them correctly and push out data. done. No magic involved here

overpriced, you sure?

look for a NodeMCU, 2.5$ on aliexpress, perfect for mqtt stuff

They are pretty useless if you live in the first world and already own a computer.

Very overpriced. It's riding on the Raspberry Pi brand name. Look up. Orange Pi

They were never really intended as a full desktop machine but for the masochistic and the ultrapoor they do fine. Most people would get by fine with a phone dock in 2018.

Some people on the other hand need dozens of low-ish mini-not-micro-power machines to do a bunch of bullshit. Pi is a reasonable approximation of that kind of machine that even the normies have heard of.

Raspi IS overpriced but for the love of god do not believe an orange pi is anything close to the same quality. Standard chinkshit warnings apply.

It's kind of expensive for it's processing power, that's true. But it has a MASSIVE community and handling heavy computations was never it's intention

I use orange pi. It's faster than the pi. Build quality is also good. Only problem is documentation. But being a HAPA this is no problem for me. For your 35 € Rpi board, I get mine on taobao for 10€. So i can buy 2 more boards and cluster them. Eat shit ignorant western consumer

Though, 35buckos is literally nothing.

>What are clusters
>What is resell profit margins
Think big fagot

I have an orange pi, half the ports were DOA. I would definitely believe an orange pi has a better DESIGN, the raspi is notoriously bad, but the chink QC and no reputable importer means that you'll more likely than not get a brick.

Nobody trusts your ESL ass, scamming chink

still cheap, you neet faggot.

even a good steak costs more lol

Oh at the time I got my oPi the allwinner SoC they used was also basically undocumented and had no open bootloader. They use the absolute cheapest chips but that specific one has been solved by now.

Westerners can't into math. This is why you China will take over in a few years
I talk Chinese with them over the phone and tell them to test their shit before sending because I resell and Amazon returns are brutal. If you just order they give you a random shit board.
Lie to them that you are a big seller in the West and want to do big business with them in the future. You are just testing their products. They will send you the best stuff

Got a Rpi3 for xmas, been using it as a PiHole DNS server to do ad blocking on devices that would otherwise have a hard time doing it (my old P1 and P3 PCs) and at the same time I've used it for a new projects along side an Arduino nano.
The RPi is fine, does everything I'll ever need it to do since the things I'm intrested in fucking around with or making don't need a gig of RAM or a 1GHz+ processor. I will say the amount of documentation for the Pi line has been fairly nice, so there is that.

I use mine as like a real shitty NAS/minidlna server. Less than $100 bucks for the total build, low power draw, simple set up and able to serve 1080p content without stutter. Obviously there are cheaper options and there are options with better specs but I really like my raspi

>Lie to them that you are a big seller in the West and want to do big business with them in the future. You are just testing their products. They will send you the best stuff
Thats a clever idea. I like your thinking user.

The bus speeds on pi are really really bad, I imagine you won't get past a YIFY quality encode over them live without stuttering.

not him, but i heard compared to odroid, banana etc

Because one you buy it you realize it's useless to the average person.
I mean sure you can rig your lights and shit at home to the pi and turn them on or off when you are at work but who the fuck even needs that?
It's great for robotics and shit, but who the fuck is into that?
Apart from turning it into a cheap web server or torrent box there is not much usage it has.
You can't even turn it into a NAS since it doesn't have sata connectors or power for the HDDs

Because that would require actual knowledge about technology, not blunt consumerism.

I'm Chinese and I know how they think

>Thats a clever idea. I like your thinking user.
>lying to chinks
enjoy your visit from the yakuza

We’re all waiting for the 4 for N64 emulation

Dunno man I have been throwing a bunch of stuff at it no stuttering yet. BluRay rips of GoT and stuff work fine. I actually don't know much about codecs though. Maybe literally everything I download is YIFY quality shit.

The Triad you mean

The People's Committee on Telecommunications Politeness Enforcement Division

Banana Pi is not an alternative. The hardware is a clusterfuck, SinoVoip's "tech support" is on the level of Aliexpress scammers, and the community is barely existent because people quickly realize that cutting their losses and buying a RPi/OPi is the better option.

RPi can saturate a 100Mbit connection when used as a NAS. That's generally too slow for backups, but it will work for streaming anything up to BD remuxes.

The ethernet and USB are on the same bus though. You can't saturate both network and storage and both suffer.

The Pi is actually really good for learning BASIC, because can run RISC OS. RISC OS has a really nice version of BASIC built into it.

>NAS.
How?
Surely you don't just connect a bunch of standalone usb hdds to it that would be retarded as hell

Even with its massive overhead, USB 2.0 is enough to stream 8-10 MB/s from the drive to Ethernet.

it's not great, but it's good enough. odroid makes sbcs with sata interfaces / enclosure but they're like 70 dollars each, at that point might as well configure a proper nas with an old pc

why not? its cheap and simple, good enough for media streaming.

Yeah. What this guy said. Mine is a very slow NAS but it is fine for streaming.

>why not? its cheap and simple, good enough for media streaming.
cheap is not an excuse you can buy a used motherboard with 6 sata ports for twenty bucks and some cheapo PSU to go along with it and make a proper NAS for under $50

If the Rpi 4 ends up having USB3 and a gigabit ethernet I'll be sold on it, don't care if the ethernet is still riding over the USB like at that point since the bandwidth would be enough regardless at that point.

And 8-10mbps is very bitrate starved for HD video. YIFY is a perfectly valid lifestyle choice.

That's exactly how you do it. We're talking about nigger-rigging a NAS out of a shitty 20 dollar board, what do you expect?

If you only need to stream some rips to your TV, you don't need a 10-pound, 80-watt box with fans and dying capacitors.

8-10 MBps, not Mbps.

>If you only need to stream some rips to your TV,
In that case you don't need nas, just put it on usb stick and stick it into your TV or get one USB hdd and connect it to the usb slot in the router since all routers now have one

You can buy Odroid boards that have that already. They might not have so much pre-built software as Pi, but everything for a NAS is there.

Some people have more than one TV/PC to watch movies on, and shitty ISP-provided routers might not have USB or the ability to use it for file storage. Obviously, Pi isn't a good NAS solution by any means, but if you already have one, it can be useful.

>ISP-provided routers
why would you do that do yourself?
Just buy a good router and connect the IPS router into its wan

If you can afford to buy some overpriced HDDs and even pay extra for their usb housing surely ou can afford some old $50 PC to put them in too

will it be silent? no

>Odroid boards
Have looked those over before, seems like a more an more attractive option since the amount of docs and support now looks to be WAY better then it was a few years back. Might have to do one ODROID-XU4Q with the passive heatsink.

Cheapo USB enclosures are $5 or less. They are also much cheaper on power.

You can cool the cpu passivelly and psu has a silent 120mm fan that will never be louder than a bunch of working mechanical HDDs
stop making excuses

It's so easy to set up homie and you can run it as a shit torrentbox whenever you aren't using miniDLNA.

Low powerdraw, silent, space saving. It's a valid solution.

I was looking at getting a rpi or similar to setup a home NAS / ftp client, however i couldn't find any with good HDD connectors. Anyon know of a similar devices with a few SATA ports, or USB3 hubs with bandwidth to saturate 2-3 HDD's I/O?

pis aren't designed for that you will have to make do with a micro atx mobo

because it just werks?

>overpriced HDDs and even pay extra for their usb housing
An old HDD from a laptop you have lying around, plus a $5 chink enclosure (since you only need USB 2.0) will do. We're not trying to build a 8x4TB RAID0 NAS here.
Obviously, if you already have an old PC, re-purposing it for a NAS is likely a better option than buying a Pi, even with its higher electricity costs.

A heatsink capable of cooling some old duo2cuo passively will likely cost more than a pi.

you need an odroid.

If you need more than one drive, just buy a mATX/mITX board with some low power Celeron/Pentium soldered.

I was thinking getting some light Pi odroid NAS solution, looking at this thread I'm not too sure now

Odroid is fine if you need only one drive.
If you want multiple drives and RAID, get a PC or an off-the-shelf NAS.

Those are shit because they only have 2 sata port. the only purpose of a mobo for NAS is to have lots of sata ports 4 is the bare minimum 6 is ideal. with only two even with expansion card you will be capped off at like 4 - 6 total which is shit if you want to expand the nas over time

What is there to discuss outside of how far back in the desk drawer pi boards are stashed after their owner's loose interest?

>sees a picture with 4 SATA ports
>"Those are shit because they only have 2 sata port"

There is a slight chance that the mobo you buy will be damaged and only 2 of those ports will work.
So check & mate, cunt.

You can easily find boards with 4 ports.
Furthermore, even a single PCIe connector allows for 8 more ports with an appropriate card; on a mATX board, you can have three for a total of 24 extra ports.

>PCIe connector allows for 8 more ports with an appropriate card;
but those ain't free boy

If you actually need 8+ hard drives, surely you can afford a $80 controller.

Or you can just take that 80 bucks and buy a better mobo with 6 sata ports AND get more than one PCI slots for even more sata cards if you want them later
But you prolly wont because 6 HDDs will be enough storage for anyone here since people here only uses NASes for their animu and games and movies
