Shopping List



Just thought I should possibly list the bits of kit I'm been collecting together. It would make sense right?

Obviously, I picked up a Raspberry Pi 3 as it's the most easily accessible. They're everywhere, have the largest community and support available. Not only that but the range of accessories is vast.

As well as that I got a Rock 64 4GB, very similar to the Pi in size and functionality just different hardware specifications. Should be interesting to see how they compare.

Someone gave me a CubieBoard 4 to try out but I'll come back to that at a later point.

The last piece of kit I'm still waiting to be delivered is a Marvell Espressobin but that's one of the bits coming from America so we'll see how that plays out.

Apart from that, there's a pile of bits and pieces. This includes items such as breakout boards, cables, small electric fans and heatsinks. Hopefully, I have all the bits I need although I may need to sort out a custom case for the end we'll just have to see how it all plays out.
