I'd love to purchase a few Pis for the following purposes:
- Build a 3 or 4 Pi cluster to practice DevOps stuffs
- Use a Pico to learn ARM assembly (However I have a TIVA board for that purpose, although I prefer something simpler)
Nowadays they are all off from the online shops!
- zellyn 5y agoIf you ever manage to find any for purchase, I wrote up some brief documentation on how I got a k3s cluster set up: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12TT49VgyPRSH7F4b_oC5rOv1Ag7RPxmSNAWbJjf3RF4 https://docs.google.com/document/d/12TT49VgyPRSH7F4b_oC5rOv1...
- hnthrowaway0315 5y agoThanks! I'll take a look.
- nereye 5y agoApologies if am misreading the last paragraph, assuming it meant that it's hard to find the Pico, that was the case for a while but the situation is now much better, e.g. Adafruit has 56 in stock: https://www.adafruit.com/product/4883 https://www.adafruit.com/product/4883 Admittedly, this is $1 more expensive than the $4 baseline board since it also comes with headers. Just checked and DigiKey has about 17K in stock ($4 Raspberry Pi Pico): https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/raspberry-pi/SC0915/13624793 https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/raspberry-pi/SC09.... And that's leaving aside the slightly fancier boards that have the RP2040 and cost around $10, e.g. Adafruit Feather RP2040 etc. The chip itself is not in any shortage, e.g. DigiKey and Mouser have tens of thousands/thousands in stock, etc.
- hnthrowaway0315 5y agoOh I forgot to mention that Picos are quite available :D It's the Pi4s that are rare. I actually found some in local but they are in kits. I prefer just boards.
