Still trying to find the want to go on.

With this Orange pi!  so because I couldn't afford much at the time I ended up buying a orange pi pc and and a orange pi zero.    So far not enjoying them at all compared to the raspberry pi.

 

Right now trying to put a bit of work into making my Mostly Printed CNC machine into  a lower watt category then running my windows vista computer.  So hopefully soon will get things going well on the Orange pi.

I have not given up but mark my words I will not be getting anymore for future projects.

 

Some people might enjoy them but I don't the first thing was power issues.

 

Also using it to figure out if I can't incorporate it into another project I have so far its been ok picking up the usb devices I want to run well minus one usb wifi that works in the pi I am sure if played with it would go but at this point ill just plug in something that works.

 

I might change my mind down the road on this but right now its been more work then I expected it to be.

    Just because a product is inexpensive to purchase does not mean that it is inexpensive to use and make your project work.

     

    If you could, please provide us with the details of the issues you encountered so that others can learn from your efforts.
