The Cloud Is Finished Guys Who Is Going To Pay For A Virtual Machine When You Can Struggle For Hours To Get Your Rasperry Pi To Work

this is essentially what i've been stressing to my friends, things like Google Home and Alexa are going to continue to be popular because they're fucking convenient at the end of the day. I'm not a "maker", and the Stallman-ite world takeover won't happen just because I use a homebrew IoT platform in my home.

>raspberry pi cluster
>not a cheap proper nas
you have to buy the tf cards, heat sinks and cables for raspberry pi to use it, at the end of the day for the same price you could get a proper nas with sata support which allows you to connect any hdd you want and have surely much more storace space than those tf cards, you can find 500gb hdd for like 30 bucks new.

you do not have to buy heat sinks to use a pi
what cables would you need, they arrrive with cables

they have onboard wireless, bluetooth
what is a tf card sorry

>what is a tf card
pic.

>they arrive with cables
ethernet cables and usb cables are included? hdmi cables? how do you set it up the first time without cables?

>what is a tf card sorry
You lost.

I spent $1 on a base board, $1 on a pack of bamboo sticks and $1 on a bag of rubber bands and my cluster looks better presented than that one.

I'm going to get three more Pis in the future for a second stack. Just finished building my $3 PWM fan for cooling but have to modify the USB hub still to power it.

and you would need a heat sink if you want it to work and not constantly lag behind, look at the reviews and see for yourself how it does without heat sink.

That looks neat af, though I've seen that converter before.. it wasn't cheap to set it up, was it?

Pretty cheap. I had the USB hub bumming around.

The 5V 10A PSU was about $10, I did the soldering work myself to connect it to the USB hub and make the USB power cables.

The Orange Pi PCs were the most expensive parts at $15 a pop.

all I wanted to say is that you don't need heatsinks with the pi unless you clock it. They run fine, even over-loaded without a fan or heatsink

overloaded they wont get over 60deg

had no idea what the term for the little card was .. "tf" .. would call it micro-sd. You buy a pi from the regular supplier you should get ethernet, monitor cable .. you will have usb. you will have the micro usb card. Why the constant denigration of these brilliant devices here. I had 3 .. sold 2. 48 watchers on ebay I had on ebay for 1. got the prices. sold a Pi3 I bought for £50 (package, pihut), for £38. that was without the little card. without the box or plugs etc. These things replace the PC & minimise power. Got 1 only as it handles anything I threw at it. Didn't understand at first.
