Why is everyone hyped about the raspberry pi?
It's not even made in China and it's not even cheap and you can't even do anything cool with it.
Why didn't the Teensy or Arduino blow up so big?
is this a meme pic?
i dont get why adding turkman hat is funny when we could just use the poop emoji
>>53962150
>you can't even do anything cool with it.
You can do what the fuck you want with it, what are you talking about, in theory you can even do PCIe x1 slot for it
>>53962191
It still blows because it doesn't use x86.
>>53962150
You can make a pirate radio with just a wire and sd card, that's pretty cool
>>53962197
Implying that x86 is the only CPU type in existence.
>>53962222
Not to toot my own horn but my quads are pretty cool
>>53962251
It's not but it's the most useful. All the useful software (proprietary and open sores) out there requires an x86 OS which requires an x86 CPU.

You seriously don't know what logo that is?

Arduino did get big. It's community is probably still bigger and more active than the RPi's. The difference is that it's community is still mostly hobbyists and tinkerers. RPi has attracted a bit more mainstream consumer attention.
BeagleBoard/Bone also has a pretty large community around it.
Speaking of Arduino and RPi, if you wanted to control several arduino devices with a central unit, RPi is good for that.

>retards wanting to use it as a desktop pc
THIS is the reason it's so "popular"
I ran a mumble server on mine because steam chat is shit. It was fun.
Let us also not forget it was designed to be used as an educational tool in 3rd world countries before us neckbeards bought it out
>>53962150
Native python? Also arduino is more fucked up. Raspberry pi just has the board and you can buy other shit if you want arduino has different boards and accessories to scare normies away. Also I think raspberry was first.
>>53962150
what does the fez mean?
>>53962297
No, deal with it.
>>53962330
It really could be. Fuck it, give me a dual core 1GHz atom soc, i'd still take that over a quad-core shitty ARM soc. I'm sure intel could give those chips away for like 5-10$ a piece. A shitty x86 cpu is always better than any ARM cpu because of software compatibility alone.
So can I strap this to the back of a monitor for a super slim GNU/Linux ricing box, just for fun? Or is it too gimped for that/ARM too big of a limitation.

You can install and run anything on Ubuntu on Windows

Nah, raspberry bi is still relatively new to the game. That's why it blew up, when it came.out it was unheard of to cheap as fuck, which it is/was compared to other similar computers.
>>53962150
>not even made in china
I see that as a pretty good reason to buy one, personally. Corner cutting chinks.
>>53962590
Anything
>>53962635
Jesus christ, at least it means my windows laptops weren't a waste. Microsoft actually making good decisions now
Arduino a shit
>>53962599
Why couldn't they have made it 320x240? Why did they put the D-pad on the left?
They lost thousands of sales because of these two small oversights.

How well did that server run? I have no real experience with stuff like this but it seemed to me that you'd need an okay rig to host servers for friends to connect to, and the raspi isn't that powerful.
If I'm ultra wrong I'd love to know, need a reason to buy one of these.

this is a lie, they do make pi(s) in china. and it would be a positive thing if they didn't, i would pay more if i knew it was going to people in the west.
>>53962330
most people use it as a hobby tool or media device, only retard like the one you replied to would use it for desktop applications.

Why aren't you?

How is this relevant?
>and it's not even cheap
It's relatively cheap and there are competing boards with similar prices.
>and you can't even do anything cool with it.
If you can't think of anything yourself, don't blame them.
>Why didn't the Teensy or Arduino blow up so big?
Mostly different use cases.
>it's not even cheap
WTF am I reading?
>>53963072
Depends on what it runs, probably you gonna run into internet related problems more than anything imo (of course you are not gonna be able to host intensive stuff with a lot of traffic)
Raspberry pi are cheap enough at being disposable.
I've broken 2 Pi.
1 dead for wrong polarity wiring, the other one blown ethernet port due to lightning strike.
The reason it's popular is because it's easy to program. Instead of low level register programming, you can use python or even bash.# Set pin 11 to gpio mode
echo 11 > /sys/class/gpio/export
#Configure the Pin Direction (In/Out):
echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio11/direction
#Write a value to turn on the LED using the GPIO11:
echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio11/value
#Now your led should be ON!!!
#Write a value to clear the LED using the GPIO11
echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio11/value
#Now your led should be OFF!!!
#Delete the created GPIO (11)
echo 11 > /sys/class/gpio/unexport
Note that this won't work on bash on windows due to lack of emulation.
>>53965149
How is any of this shit easier than Arduino's digitalWrite() ???
>>53965998
digitalWrite() are good if you have preset condition.
In case of pi, you can use it dynamically by typing at console prompt.
You can also use it as a cgi script.
Or, you can use some shell pipe, like grep something or netcat something and if condition match then turn on GPIO.
>>53966111
It's not tremendously hard to use an Arduino/clone as GPIO extension to an existing PC. You could go as simple as typing mnemonics into PuTTY or automate this however you like.
>>53962150
I'm into robotics and I personally use it as a very cheap small coprocessor for a vision processing setup. It has GPIO, a camera module which can do 90FPS and it can also run Python/OpenCV easily. For $35.
>>53962222
> Pretty cool
I think you mean absolutely disgusting?
>>53962297
what is it tho
I searched "fez logo" but I only get [spoiler]the game[/spoiler]
>>53966282
Yes, but you'll need PC and there's no guaranteed if you make mistake, arduino won't backfeed the current and burn your pc usb port.
My point is pi are cheap enough as a standalone programmable electronic.
You might make mistake, but at most you only lost your pi.
The price are comparable to arduino but pi give you more options.
eg: with cgi-bin you can type:
http://ip.of.the.pi/cgi-bin/turn-on-led.sh
or you can ssh, then run ./turn-on-led.sh
or schedule it it in cron, etc.
For practical example, my ISP supplied modem sometime crash and won't respond to anything.
So, i can use pi to ping the modem ip, count missing packet replies and if exceed the limit, power cycle the modem using relay triggered by gpio.#!/bin/bash
# Make sure router is ON
echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio11/value
sleep 95
while true; do
mytest=$(ping -c3 10.0.0.1 | grep "0 received")
if [ "x${mytest}" != "x" ]; then
echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio11/value
sleep 1
echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio11/value
sleep 90
fi
sleep 5
done

A versatile computer in that size and for that price... you'd be stupid not to be hyped.
>It's not even made in China and it's not even cheap and you can't even do anything cool with it.
you have no fucking idea....
>Why didn't the Teensy or Arduino blow up so big?
Try installing linux and playing 1080p video on your arduino....
The Pi has greatly improved my relationship with computers named after fruit
>>53966486
It's the Red Hat logo
>>53962150
?
>>53967057
>except heavy computing
To be fair, you can. You just need more RPi units working in a cluster.
>>53967132
I thought the red hat logo was a hat with a brim and it had a person under it.
>>53967161
You're thinking of a black mage from Final Fantasy, nothing to do with Red Hat m8.
>>53967093
orange pi sucks
>>53967206
what? no, I meant this. Black mage hats aren't even red, are they?
>>53967248
You never said anything in your previous post about the hat in Red Hat's logo being red though, did you?
>>53967292
why the ever loving crap would red hat's hat logo not be red
>mfw there are losers who don't know the difference between an Arduino/PIC and the Pi

Using arduino to control my traffic signal controller. because that makes more sense than using a full fledged "computer"

It's a metaphor. Like how not everyone was wearing red at the Red Wedding in Game of Thrones.

I don't see how this is a con.
Please someone explain to me how this is ever a Pro
>>53967411
B-but you can program Pi barebone, without the OS just like any other microcontroller.

Most ARM cortex are within pi price anyway.
There's also (unobtainable) Pi Zero for $5.
>>53967732
the arduino is just a board with all the I/O pins routed to header pins with an FTDI chip and a shitty software environment. all of this to program an atmel uC. programming the uC directly you could actually use all of the string library without compiler issues.
>>53967651

ugh
Planning to use a RP3 as a home media server, should I use Plex or Kodi?
Pros and cons of both?
>>53967767
The code itself is not that bad, but the real turnoff is the lack of builtin storage on Pi.
Repeating the need to remove and reinsert sd-card will become annoying quickly.
>>53967542
Well by the end of it everyone was probably red.
>>53963264
It's a zipit z2, originally a device made for teenagers too poor to own a laptop or cell phone so you can use its IM clients to chat in areas with free wi-fi. You can put a fully featured ARM linux distro on it.

You're super ultra wrong here.
I run a Mumble server on a MIPS router with 64MB of RAM and 150Mhz CPU.
Works like a charm.
>>53962222
i just tried it
sweet fucking jesus, it transmits over something around one kilometer after i connected it to my roof antenna, maybe even more (i was broadcasting on existing radio station frequency)
>>53962384
I'd wager Visual Studio is one of the most used IDEs on the market. They have a foothold already, they just need to expand it to stuff that's usually Linux, like Pis and Arduinos.
>>53968827
you'd better shut that off before the FCC comes and tracks you down. seriously, they van people who broadcast on licensed spectrum.
>>53969066
If they want to catch me, first they'll have to find me. *hooks up raspi to car antenna and drives away*

Dipshit you're thinking of a red mage
>>53969369
Nah, he said hat with a brim, which immediately makes you think of either the black mages or Mexicans. Obviously it couldn't be Mexicans because they can't use Linux, so it must have been the black mages.
what is that fez
>>53962150
Once I have a server that (almost) fits in a pack of cigarettes I'll be able to [thought never completes because futurists are fucking stupid].

>>53969812
Is that not a brim? Sorry, my friend, I'm not too familiar with hat terminology.

>>53973110
microsoft.com sells them
>>53970469
its retarded.
i can buy a cheap android phone for the same price.
it has a better cpu, gpu, a display, a digitizer, a camera, a microphone and a speaker also able to use 2g/3g network.
and a battery !
anyone who buys a raspberry is clinically retarded.

bingo, you're an idiot
I have a tor node in a pi2 also running a minecraft server for my niece and nephew and it still doesn't use 20% cpu.
I got a pi3 and it's good enough for many poor people in the world to use in place of an actual computer. They get a full office package preinstalled on raspbian ffs.
arduino is great but just can't come close to that.
