Hmmm. I use these boards only for robotics. And a primary reason why I pick a Raspberry Pi is because it has an ethernet port.
- marti 12y agoYou are talking about the Model B/B+ then, as Model A and A+ do not have an ethernet port.
- lovelearning 12y agoYour robots need an active ethernet connection to function?
- dws 12y agoIf you're competing in FIRST Robotics, yes.
- valarauca1 12y agoA surprising number of devices offer data acquisition over TCP/IP either in telnet, or HTTP get requests.
- lovelearning 12y agoTrue, but all the Raspberry Pi's have atleast 1 USB port to which a WLAN adapter can be attached. Less cumbersome than ethernet cables, unless ethernet is mandated by competition rules or something. Of course, these may not be mobile robots at all, in which case ethernet makes sense.
- SeanLuke 12y agoWireless isn't particularly reliable in all situations.
