Similar GPIO available? Are you even comparing similar things permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] zarquon@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) You can get similar power consumption. As for gpio... Add a Pico as a USB pass-through for a few bucks. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] lauha@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) So an additional device hanging in the breeze just to gain even some features and pico is hardly a replacement for full rpi gpio. Doesn't really seem like a better solution. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] CobolSailor@lemmy.ml 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) It all depends on what your usecase is. If someone's just starting out and wanting to do gpio stuff with a Linux os, yeah the pi may still be the best bet since it's got such a large following and guides written. But if someone's got more experience and just needs a cheap small form factor machine to run Linux and interact with some non mission critical gpios, a small nuc with a pico will give you a greater bang for the buck! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] lauha@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago Obviously it is usecase dependent. But original comment claimed you are better off getting a small nuc for the same price, as if it is better for any usecase. Please, go reply to them :) permalink fedilink source parent [–] krolden@lemmy.ml 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Dell thin clients have gpio permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] lauha@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago And are way bulkier with much larger power draw permalink fedilink source parent [–] zarquon@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago (1 child) Seriously. I was thinking about one for a home theater pc a bit ago. Bought a used thinkcentre off ebay for $40 instead. Much better performance and price. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] zarquon@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) https://cheapskatesguide.org/articles/best-mini-servers.html This article was trending at the time. On hackernews I think. I really did get the $40 price for an m600 like he mentioned in it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] LoganNineFingers@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago Thank you for posting this! permalink fedilink source parent [–] Xavier@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago Would you recommend a particular Beelink model? I have been interested after seeing some reviews, but I'm not sure what would be the best deal. Hence would greatly appreciate some recommendations. permalink fedilink source parent
