Bought for YSF/DMR Hot Spot

Element14 Raspberry Pi 3B+ was used as the basis for a YSF/DMR ham radio. The device turned on without any problems and the Pi-Star operating system started without any problems. Very happy with the unit.

Pros
  • Glitter
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Possibly a bad batch?: Single Board Computer

Low score because I've already had two of these that had a 3.3 volt drop out. Gpio is NOT used. I only use Wi-Fi and an HDMI touch screen connected to USB. NOTHING is on line 3.3. BOTH declined - the first within a few hours, the second lasted a couple of weeks. I have a lot of Pi's and have never had one like this so I'm wondering if they have a bad batch.

Pros
  • I'm looking forward to
Cons
  • Frequency

in my application should work 24/7 with Wi-Fi constantly transmitting data and all USB ports are busy. in this installation in a hot country (Israel) even with radiators, if it gets very hot, and in the event of a fault even hot to the touch! in my setup i had to install it without a case and cool it with a fan, i also connected my usb devices to a powered hub and it reduces the current draw from the rpi and helps against overheating.

Pros
  • practical thing
Cons
  • don't remember

Rasp'si are great, but Revain isn't!

I have three Pi 3B+ and they are fantastic. I recommend them, so if you buy one of these, you deserve the same quality shopping. For this reason I say: buy, just don't buy here.

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • So far so good

Arrived as described: Computer and accessories

RaspberryPi 3B+ worked great. I've ordered a few of these and they all work great. The seller became greedy and continued to demand the price! Terrible for the seller but the product is good.

Pros
  • Nice design
Cons
  • New competition appeared

The wonders of the Plex server. just don't transcode

I got this while trying to create a plex server. There were a few issues, mostly with disk access to the Plex server, that you had to solve, but that's not a Pi issue, it's Linux. The operating temperature is not too high because it is only streamed. Keep in mind that for a Plex server, this can only send the original stream. If your device doesn't support the codec or compression and requires Plex Server to transcode, it won't work, so make sure your device can handle the streams. The newest…

Pros
  • Full set
Cons
  • Empty

Dead On Arrivial is the best single board computer

I've looked at many boards but was skeptical about buying here from the start. In general, the packaging has not been damaged. However, when I opened it, the first thing that struck me was that it didn't have an anti-static bag like the others. When working with electronics, this was a very obvious problem. Disassembled everything, turned it on and immediately unbooted. I thought it was something I made or a power supply so I took everything and put it in another one I had. Same SD card, same…

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Clarity

Fake? suitable for computers and accessories

So the Raspberry Pi boards are said to be made in the UK and the board I received actually said it was made in the UK. BUT. There was a sticker on the box that said LANDZO - Made in China. And the board I received broke and hung at least 3 times in 3 days. So using it as an OctoPrint server with a 3D printer is totally unacceptable. Given that the same OS image runs fine (albeit slower) on a Raspberry Pi 2 B, I have to wonder if the board I received is legit. Raspberry Pi 3 B+. Based on my…

Pros
  • Pretty packaging
Cons
  • Protection

Sellers are betting that this item is out of production, driving the price up 50% compared to a few months ago. This doesn't make sense, however, as anything you can do with a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ can be done even faster with a Raspberry Pi 4 B. Just buy a 1GB model and get a faster processor, two USB3.0 ports and Gigabit Ethernet for the same price! https://www.amazon.com/Raspberry-Model-2019-Quad-Bluetooth/dp/B07TD43PDZ

Pros
  • Expensive but Decent
Cons
  • Very Expensive
