  • Anyone have experience with OrangePi?

    From lemonlime@1337:3/118 to All on Fri Nov 15 14:35:48 2019
    Hi All,

    I have a couple of RPI 3s, but wanted to get something really small for a project I'm working on. I was about to buy a RPI Zero W when I came across
    the OrangePi zero. The main thing I like about it is the ethernet port and
    full size USB port.

    Anyone have any experience with Orange Pi systems? They don't seem as
    popular, but from a hardware perspective, seems you get more bang for
    your buck.

    Thanks,
    Mike

    This sounds interesting, I wonder if Deon has played with one of these yet?
    I haven't heard of these until now.

    What will you be using one of these for exactly?

    Tony has an OrangePi from memory - but probably not a zero though...

    No, I've looked though. I have Pi3's and 3+s. I should get sell them, now I dont use them behind my TVs anymore... (which will give me a justification to upgrade to a PI 4 or an Orange one! :)

    It's on my todo list. I've been busy with real life issues of late, but I should have more free time soon.

    Tony / Vk3jed, I am not sure if he is on this network but he is on fsx and dove. I think he runs a BBS on an Orange Pi (or maybe it is Banana?).
    Might try asking him about it.

    Hi MeaTLoTioN!

    I'm hoping to setup a low-power linux box with an external serial modem connected for telnet/ssh forwarding to my BBS. Doing some experimenting with
    an old laptop currently but looking for something better suited.

    Cheers,
    Mike
