Doesn't have to be the size of a Rpi4. One about the size I posted, or a NUC is fine. I'm even fine with something a bit larger. I was just wondering what was the nominal choice
these days. Also, this is for a friend, so, I don't want to muck around with a Rpi4 right now. Need it as simple as possible.
Thanks, Billy

Contemplating this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085RZDVL5 (Has WiFi

Or perhaps a Intel NUC? Anyone have suggestions? What's everyone
using these days?
Thanks, Billy
I am running an 11x54 Sheldon with a rpi4 with 2 gigs of dram, a mesa
7i90HD and a trio of 7i42TA's. Plus a spinx-1 to run the vfd controlling
an old old 1 horse 3 phase motor. Using a kernel I built.
I also have a couple SSD's on the pi4's usb3 ports, and am running my own
version of a buildbot but its not automatic, rebuilding master on the
pi, for the pi, whenever a git pull generates a mail telling me there's
been a commit to master. 5 to 10 builds a week. To see that code, goto
the link in my sig, then add buildbot-repo to the address line. Its
complex, read the README which contains a blow by blow of what you have
to do to a stock armhf raspbian buster iso installed on a 64GB u-sd
card. You can get the kernel I'm running, plus the uspace, armhf
versions of linuxcnc I built earlier today there.
Have fun Billy, although you might need some aspirin too.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
