I don't see a price yet for this one. I like the pi (and the beaglebone) because they've already got the network hardware, but the gpio isn't as robust as on the arduino (3.3v vs 5v, very low current capacity on the pi, and no analog io).
I can't say I particularly want the javascript, but if they've got wifi and arduino compatible gpio for ~ $25, then I can find a use for it.
- dkuntz2 13y agoBeagleBone Black has a huge number of gpio pins, it's one of BeagleBoard's major selling points over RasPi at this point. I'm fairly certain the BeagleBone Black has more gpio pins than the Arduino.
- chad_oliver 13y agoBeagleBone Black also has a real-time module (effectively, a limited microcontroller on the same die as the CPU), which I expect could make for some sweet libraries.
- Tichy 13y agoDoes the Pi have WiFi, though? Mine doesn't, but perhaps I don't have the latest model.
- zhemao 13y agoNo it doesn't, but since it has USB ports you can augment it with a USB wifi module. A word of warning though. If you're thinking of buying one of these, make sure to check that it has good Linux support.
