Hey all, I’m looking to build a couple dashboards out around my house. I’ve done this before with rokchip boards and they are… fine, but not great. Is rpi the best option right now? Are there alternatives you really like? I’d like to keep it a single board to easily mount behind things where it doesn’t take up a lot of space, and I won’t lie I like the DIY feeling of it over something like a thin client.

    Slightly less good (software wise) but so much worth the money IMO. I’d avoid like the i96(IIRC. If no video output well I couldn’t setup ssh etc. That was some time ago so take the information with a grain of salt).

    It’s a little more difficult space to navigate but worth it if you know why you want one for sure.

      OPi definetly worth the money, and you can always use Armbian and software problem solved.

        Do you know if it works well with GPIO from python? IIRC I had to use a OPi image and then fix and compile some low level lib.

          I don’t mate, you will have to test it by yourself or maybe the “AI” knows…
