so far I am very happy with the raspberry pi as a homebrew platform ..
PROS:
- ports: 1x wired net, 4x usb 2.0
- runs linux, super easy to extend/modify (access via ssh from other devices)
- super reliable, with uptimes of months
CONS:
- bigger in size, and not beautiful without a case (except if you like electronic pr0n)
- requires an HDMI cable
- requires an external power source
- toomuchtodo 11y agoCan the raspberry pi run off a TV's USB port similar to the Chromecast?
- millzlane 11y agoYMMV, It looks it can. https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=91&t=9322 https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=91&t=9322
- ddmf 11y agoI have had issues running a wifi dongle when connecting using the tv's usb port - admittedly this is with the old version and not the new one with the updated power circuitry. However, I have had no issues using usb power from the tv with a LAN connection - this is using Kodi which I suspect will increase the power pull. YMMV
