I’m surprised they didn’t go for more of a wide-mouth D bot design like the old neatos did. And a pi5 is hardly affordable in 2026. If it’s local only, does it really need the processing power of a pi? It’ll be on a home network with something running homeassistant anyway. Give it a dumb controller and make it like a wireless klipper bot, the heavy lifting done on the server.
They do mention it is undecided yet and an esp32 is an option. For me that would be ideal but I can also imagine some devs just want some kind of linux where they can run python scripts on.
Or even a zero 2w
i ordered one of those two months ago and the expected delivery date in 2027…
Dude go to microcenter. Or get an orangepi or radxa board.
man i wish we had those in the eu. them and jeff geerling
You are in the eu? Fuck, look at radxa. They have fantastic shit that’s impossible to get in the US.
damn, i didn’t know, thanks!
