Or buying a few more rpi4's, but the support and interfacing would add about $350 to $400 per machine. Just the costs of the interfacing is in the $200/machine bracket. A 7i90 and 3 7i43TA's, but I'd have plenty of I/O left to do interesting things. All other solutions take away the pi's ethernet but I've found the rpi4's spi is extremely dependable and I don't lose my ethernet. Best of all scenarios but costly.
Monitor power isn't a major concern as the current crop of led lit stuff is all under 25 watts active. The pi does screen blanking yet and that 19" hdmi monitor is 11 watts hot. Two of the others are still ccfl lit, and 40 or 50 watts hungrier. But 125 watt cpu's do add up. > > > > _______________________________________________ > Emc-developers mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
