'Best' can measured in a few ways, the RPi has a huge community, and it's certainly a bargain (though you will end up buying a bunch of odds and ends to get going). The Beaglebone Black is probably the other major contender, way more GPIO pins, can boot from the onboard memory, is ARMv7, for $10 more.
- krasin 13y agoBeagleBone Black has just one USB port, which is often very inconvenient. For example, if you want to run Octoprint accessible via WiFi and control a 3d printer, two USB ports will be needed. Certainly, a USB hub is an option, but it makes the setup more brittle (some USB WiFi dongles won't work over some hubs) and more expensive.
