SkyPup Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 One of you guys (I think it was Fruitbat or Snacko) mentioned this little single-board computer some time back, and I finally got my paws on one. It's essentially a minimalist PC about the size of a deck of playing cards, and sells for around $40. Storage is via an SD card, which contains the Linux operating system. It's powered by an iPad charger and has video outputs to a TV or monitor. The card also has two USB outputs and an ethernet port.

2. Administrators Jabo Posted November 7, 2012 2. Administrators Share Posted November 7, 2012 Lol. I have one of those too. It's turning (slowly) into an ultra-portable store for my camera. Jabo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snacko Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Yea, I mentioned that Pup. I was thinking of getting one to setup a security camera with wifi, but forgot all about that. But with a webcam that would be cheaper than real security cameras that do the same I think. Very cool.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
