Modding / Raspberry Pi / Embedded boards

Its a cuckchanner with baby's first consensus cracking attempt.

Whole lotta videogames ITT

There is Orange Pi, Banana Pi, and a bunch of less known chink brands, and then there is ASUS, who makes the most powerful one around

You just killed your own thread you fucking retard. Catapult yourself right back to cuckchan, you human waste.

Now you're just being retarded. Currency is older than the Jews.

...

Checked out the asus one, looks like it goes for around 60 where the pi is like 30-40. I'll have to take a look at the chingchong ones

what exactly are you planning to use a board for?

Just like to know whats out there. I have a rasberry pi 3b I got with one of my college classes that kinda collecting dust, I need to figure out something to do with it.

the most popular use for boards is emulation but the machine you're typing your posts from probably emulates shit better than a pi board ever will.

Indeed

anyone got any alternatives for raspberry Pi?

WEW

This is the thing. I had considered doing an emulation solution for it but I already emulate on my computer and it works fine. I could take the time and make some neat handheld with it or I could get a psp and use that instead.
Its in this weird spot where it wants to be useful but just isn't.
I guess I could do it if I wanted to bring some games over someone else's place but thats pretty much it,

I love when companies sperg out like anyone fucking cares.

HOW FUCKING HARD IS IT TO JEWGGLE SOMETHING NOW ADAYS GOD FUCKING DAMN

Behold! A PC case with support for standard all custom components!

Now the fucking monkey hand tier curse is that it is only sold through Europe or Asia and i couldn't find a price tag for it, fuck.

seconding part a of this post

a shit i meant to post this one, that one doesn't support ATX psus

smh tbh fam

Alright, i'll never underestimate you guys's knowledge again.

Why don't you go blog about it?

Not really an issue in that formfactor. I think the company only sells to military and government unfortunately.

I want one

I was about to talk about the one I was gifted this Christmas but fuck that.

Perfect, this will be the case I'm getting when I update this old PC.
Thanks user.

While I agree with part of your post, your subtlety needs work. Is this fastest record for OPs ruining their own thread?

...

I'd like to get a good portable emulator machine, but GPD Win looks like it already does everything I need.

no mouse = no fun
trust me

Without it being the first post? Yes.

Here you go buddy.

a dremmel and some of whatever material you want is probably a lot cheaper if you're willing to do it yourself.

I use an Odroid C2. Much better performance and proper Ethernet.

Considering the case will cost as a much as the components inside, that is a reasonable option. Also shipping something of that size firm the other half of the world is going to cost hundreds

OH shit. I thought you were talking about the pc case

You know, I was about to make a thread about sbc, but I knew shitters like OP would fuck it up.
Anyway, how's Dreamcast emulation on the Asus tinkerboard? I originally wanted an Odroid XU4, but I can't find one at a decent price.

that's nice and everything but because raspi has like 99% of that market, if you use one of the alternatives it's going to be on you to write all the necessary software.
if you just want a tiny linux machine to dink around with then sure, buy one of the other ones. just don't think there will be significant support for it.
i have a banana pro and their response to
is
no thanks

Amazing

Check out the Raspberry website. Also there are a lot more nifty boards for around the same price.

Those pi things are piss weak and can't run shit, so no.

repostan from Holla Forums
I was thinking of building a fightan game controller, it's mostly for shits and giggles and experience, but there's also the price of a real one since I live in a shithole. I have a basic theoretical knowledge of circuits and a decent enough software knowledge, but my hardware to software knowledge is limited to "energy comes in, porn comes out".
I have some ideas about how to design it with a clock and a flip flop and gate fuckery, but I have no idea if it'll work.
TL;DR baby's first controller, pls help

This is one thing I couldn't find by myself. I know most, if not all, controllers use a chip that takes the button input and translates it into the right bleeps and bloops, but I don't know if it does anything more than putting them in order.
Would it be possible to just send the pure output and have the software figure it out? Like just read the energy input during the stick phase and calculate where that would be, then read the energy input during each button's phase to see if they're on or off.

I know the USB has a differential cable to prevent interference or whatever fuckery might happen. It seems simple enough for buttons, just throw a not gate in and done, but I can't imagine the fuckery that it would be with a potentiometer. Is it possible to just not use it? If not, is there an IC chip that does that kind of stuff?

My original plan was to use the clock to send the raw output in phases, controlled by flip flops and transistor gates (e.g. potentiomer 1 output -> potentiometer 2 -> button 1 -> button 2 -> repeat) my current design is kind of retarded and just right, meaning I wouldn't be able to add extra buttons or a checksum in. Is there a IC that receives multiple inputs and cyclically changes the one connected to the output based on a clock input?

One one hand, the potentiometer grants extra positions (as much as the driver can read) and it's simple. On the other, translating it into an 8bit output or something might be better, it leaves less room for reading error, there's still, if it's 8bits, 256 positions on each axis, which's more than you probably need and would solve the differential problem.

Controllers only use one ASIC, though that's because they buy in bulks and it's worth to spend half a million for them. In my case, I was just going to use cheap generic ICs for logic stuff (like flip flops and whatnot), thing is, just the phase controller would use 5 ICs. Is it common in DIY stuff or am I being the darkest Argentinian right now?

Fuck this site, I need to use a proxy just to post, and I'm not even banned.

Is it me or are we getting more and more of these idiots who can't talk in anything but retarded buzzwords?
wew lad

...

it isn't even open source hardware

what is raspberry pi good for exactly?

cuckchan filth blown the FUCK out

mods are once again doing what ascended them to GODShood

Since this thread is ruined anyway, someone explain reddit memes to me

...

...

Socially awkward penguin is from the times before time.

You can't buy it, they only sell to government, business and military.

why do companies do this? I had to get my LLC validated to buy tape at some niggerly store

Old stale memes from (probably close to a decade now) back on half/b/. Advice Dog and friends are old now; I've still got some (Confucius proverb variant) saved from threads back in 2009 still on my drive it seems. In retrospect, they're pretty shitty, inorganic things. Also, I'm pretty sure the term for those sort wasn't "meme", but "image macro".

Of the many good reasons to hate reddit, one of the big ones has been the habit of stealing content from here and other places to call as their own. And they weren't the first, nor was 9gag. This shit goes back at least to anons (and other places on the net too) hating ebaumsworld for doing the same, and even then I doubt they're the first place to take something and go "I made this".

Normalfags stumbled upon old, mostly 4chan memes one day and decided to make them their own.

explain this, then

it seems pretty self explaining.

ASUS TINKER BOARD

Anyone still think GamerGate isn't right-wing as fuck?

They have the snowball rolling at this point.

When they started, their price is good enough, and they provided good support for their boards. Being the first one to have the idea also helped gain momentum.

They maintain their own fork of Debian, with enhancements specific to their board, and kept the OS updated. This drew a lot of people into the board, so projects involving raspi and support from third parties increased, which in turn drew even more people into it.

Then Broadcom hired an ex-Intel graphics person full time to implement full open source stack for VC4, so linux software that involves OpenGL can be compiled and work straight out of the box on the raspberry pi, instead of having to port standard desktop OpenGL to Broadcom's GLES. Their open source driver is one of the most usable ones out there, compared to other ARM SBCs.

There are many more powerful SBCs out there, but the feature parity and support, as well as community projects just haven't reached Raspi's level.

tl;dr: they're the first one, and they're "good enough" at every area, so everyone flocked to them. If you want to make something, chances someone already did it on the raspi, and the howto is a google away.

My fucking sides.

Pretty much this. There are plenty of alternatives but they're also more expensive.

...

tons. when I got one before they denounced gamergate or whatever it was at the time, the raspberry pi had lots of guides for:

It is not you , but the retards come from both sides user, in other words, there is a huge fucking under the blankets falseflagging operation going on trying to derail every thread, and it has been this way for some time now, meanwhile mods can't do shit because ban evasion is easy and can't tell who is who anyway.
