Terrible Compatibility; Waste of Money

This single board computer had terrible compatibility with other computers and operating systems. It was a waste of money and time trying to get it to work. The only positive thing is that the tri-color interface looked nice.

Pros
  • Tri-color interface looked nice.
Cons
  • Terrible compatibility with other computers/operating systems.

Read Specifications! (Update 8 seconds)

The device is beautiful, small and well-built. It comes with a cable and you can easily connect it to your PI. The website has clear instructions and it's easy to get the job done. According to the title - read the specification! Note that you will get flashing and specular images for 8 seconds before the end result is reached.

Pros
  • Single-board computer
Cons
  • Some small things
