A new smaller Pi microcontroller

wallarug

Link:  https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/vocore-a-coin-sized-linux-computer-with-wifi#activity

 

I found this project today and thought it would interest the community.

 

It is much smaller than the RPi and it includes WiFi.

 

Let me know what you guys think about it.

    It runs Linux, but not all the applications that can run on an RPI. So it won't replace an RPI. It's a very cut-down platform, but great for some projects. These small modules are quite common, another example is 'carambola 2' which is a bit cheaper, a bit larger though, more I/O, less memory but a bit faster clock speed, and is shipping today.

    Hi there Shabaz, yes you are right, this module joins a cast of certainly dozens of modules which have very similar specifications the Carambola2 been only one of them. I have used several of the no name made in china Linux modules and most are absolutely great at that £10 per module price point or about double for an experimenters board supplied.

     

    No need for another Kickstarter to make these modules they exist today and are available every day of the week on Ebay.

     

    I would suggest to any one wanting to experiment with these modules today get one of these

    Which has you can see has one of these modules a PSU+ pic32 board SDCARD and the outputs to dirve 2x 8 relay boards and an 1602LCD I believe ...Whoopee image
