what's your favorite raspberry pi? please respond by saying "my favorite raspberry pi is..." and then suggest another single board computer that isn't a raspberry pi. im trying to genericize the trademark, you see
in reply to josef

my favorite Raspberry Pi is the RP2. I ended up with a bunch of them used for prototyping, and they have since been put to work doing small things in the lab with 100% uptime

My favourite Raspberry Pi is the Intel N100, because somehow better fanless solutions exist for that for original recipe.

my favorite raspberry pi is the Orange Pi 5, because:
- Most powerful than RPI5
- Passive heatsink still enough to keep fresh the SoC
- nvme M2 slot

My favourite Raspberry Pi is something from the pile of old routers I've saved from the bin.

heres some of my personal favorite raspberry pis
in reply to josef

ohhh the card computer is a cool one, have you done anything fun with that pi yet?
in reply to maple "mavica" syrup [6502]

@mavica_again i screwed around with it for a bit a few months ago but the problem is. the little plastic blister packet that it came in, is so cute, that i keep wanting to put it back in. it looks really cosy in there
in reply to josef

@mavica_again i think maybe. possibly, it doesn't have quite enough I/O? i haven't really thought through it yet though. maybe i could make some kinda SPI port expander thing that could clip onto the side/back
in reply to josef

that's usually what i've seen people do yeah, the holes being lego technics compatible helps

i was working on a little drum machine program but it started getting slow and making the audio out of sync so i got bored and haven't worked on it in a while

in reply to maple "mavica" syrup [6502]

@mavica_again i wanted to do something like that! haven’t done much low level stuff for the last few years. something about the “ISR that mixes one sample at a time on a 16kHz timer” approach to audio programming is just very appealing and refreshing
in reply to josef

oh i was using micropython which mostly kept it high level. which had the shortcoming of it not being fast enough
in reply to josef

my favorite raspberry pi in this picture? it's got to be my pride and joy. the white fairchild h11l1sm optocoupler in the bottom right
in reply to josef

socketed of course. you never know where you are with those guys
in reply to josef

STM32MP1 boards make pretty decent industrial-grade Raspberry Pis
in reply to josef

Personally, my favorite here is the one you're using to take the photo.
in reply to josef

pretty sure the ZX81 model Raspberry Pi counts as an SBC. Big fan of that one personally. adorable little 80s thing.
in reply to josef

my favorite raspberry pi is Computachess II
in reply to josef

my favorite raspberry pi is a graphical calculator (portable computer) I can code C for.
in reply to josef

my favorite raspberry pi is either a beaglebone black or the novena.

my least favorite raspberry pi is the raspberry pi, but a close runner up is a thing called the pcDuino that someone at sparkfun was convinced we were gonna sell a ton of back in like 2013. also honorable mention to the intel galileo, a bizarre marriage of arduino interface and x86 SoC that forced me to learn things about yocto for some fucking reason.

Oh, my favorite raspberry pi is the BeagleBone. They've got their own standard for raspberry pi shields and one of them, the Bela, is really good for DIY audio stuff.

I've got this one device called the BeagleBone Fire, it's a raspberry pi with an FPGA integrated. Looking forward to what I can do with it…

my favorite raspberry pis are probably:

1. This weird arm7tdmi development board I got long ago in college that I worked out how to program with just a sample asm file, the exe for writing programs to it, and a multimeter to figure out which pins I could use as GPIO. I eventually figured out how to get C++ code compiling for it, and eventually made a 8x8 display for it out of red LEDs. I'm amazed olimex still sells it. https://www.olimex.com/Products/ARM/OKI/OKI-H5003/

in reply to josef

my favorite raspberry pi is the cubieboard 3, aka cubietruck, which was an armv7 board that could run as a Xen hypervisor and was forgotten by god and man immediately after its release
in reply to josef

My favorite raspberry pi is the StarFive VisionFive2. RISC-V is still rough around the edges but still familiar and exciting
in reply to josef

Love it! My favorite Raspberry Pi is the MangoPi RISCV SBC. No insane Broadcom GPU+blob startup process and unencumbered architecture.
in reply to josef

the BASIC Stamp is my favorite raspberry pi
in reply to josef

My favorite raspberry py is this milkV duo RiskV small board !
in reply to josef

i think that pi is kinda genericized already
in reply to josef

my favourite raspberry pi is a 25 year old C500 Robot controller

My favorite raspberry pi is with rhubarb. I've had it with marionberries but I found it too sweet. What's most interesting is that strawberry is more commonly paired with rhubarb, but I found the raspberries gave the pi an intreseting, unexpected flavor.

my favorite Raspberry Pi is anything that doesn't use an SD Card for the operating system.
