Raspberry Pi is very famous since the community is very huge. The Poppy is using most of time the Korean ODROID boards (U3 or XU4) But in robotics, it can be useful to look at the other alternatives. I propose this subject to report the best “credit card” computers.

Nano Pi The Nano Pi is very equivalent to the Raspberry but much smaller. There are lots of models function of your needs. [image] Link and comparison table : http://www.nanopi.org/index2.html

ODROID form hardkernel The ODROID are known to be powerful. The most famous is the XU4. (and the excellent U3 not available anymore :cry:) [image] Link and comparison table : http://www.hardkernel.com/main/main.php

Orange pi is the Best and CHEAPEST alternative of Raspberry pi. It’s got a quad-core 1.5Ghz ARM7 cpu (Allwinner H3) and 1GB of RAM, so on paper it should give the RPi 2 a serious run for its money. At any rate, I bought one to see if I could use it as a cheap Pi alternative; it shipped very quickly…

I have been playing for a few weeks with the NanoPi NEO Air and I have to say I am very impressed. I have posted a first impression blog here in case you are interested about the board. In the next days or so I plan to post some performance rating - and I it is really remarkable how well this tiny …

Very nice hardware !! the Dynamixel shield at the end is very interesting. If you want to have a beta-tester :wink:

The NanoPi are available directly from the friendlyarm.com site. Just Add-to-cart and then checkout. They are delivered pretty quickly from China.
