minus-squarewhyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 hours agohmmm I’m not sure now 😅 I’m using the RPi for other projects but this one was for a server and I might not have put much thought for the hardware But I’ve never seen a mini PC that cheap though?
minus-squareHumanPenguin@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·13 hours agoSame reason as any other mini PC. GPIO. Honestly there is no other reason to use pi. Just the simple ability ti connect and build your own connection stuff. Pi is by far the easiest system with a well suppirted os and api for learning\experimentation. When to comes to using as a desktop etc. There are loads of better options if gpio is not wanted.
