I cross-posted these from the SplatSpace Slack workspace, the #electronics channel, to enlist additional comments and discussions:

I mean, 3-times what you'll spend on a pi, but also x86, includes a case, and has real ethernet/wifi built in: https://www.amazon.com/Fanless-Desktop-Computer-Windows-Mounting/dp/B07VN6DF6Q/ref=sr_1_20?keywords=nuc&qid=1570127464&s=gateway&sr=8-20&th=1 Scott Hall <https://app.slack.com/team/UEDBFHME2> Oct 3, 4:21 PM <https://splatspace.slack.com/archives/CECJGKREV/p1570134105064900> Check out this comparison of single-board computers: https://all3dp.com/1/single-board-computer-raspberry-pi-alternative/ Raspberry Pi Zero W Onion Omega2Plus Rock64 Media Board PocketBeagle Arduino Mega 2560 Le Potato BBC micro:bit Pine A64-LTS Banana Pi M64 Odroid-C2 Orange Pi Plus2 Rock Pi 4 Model B NanoPC-T3 Plus Odroid-XU4 Asus Tinker Board S LattePanda Minnowboard Turbot Dual Ethernet BeagleBoard-X15 Huawei HiKey 960 Or for that matter, this comparison list: https://www.slant.co/topics/1629/~best-single-board-computers Here's another comparison list, but I don't trust ZDNet's bias anymore: https://www.zdnet.com/pictures/top-12-raspberry-pi-alternatives-2018-edition/2/ Right now I tend to use a R-Pi Zero W running Ubuntu Embedded or Ubuntu Server for things like VPN links, DNS/DHCP serving, SNMP serving.

Good lists nonetheless Scott Hall <https://app.slack.com/team/UEDBFHME2> Oct 4, 11:12 AM <https://splatspace.slack.com/archives/CECJGKREV/p1570201951070000> Besides just SBCs, consider SOMs (System on Modules). Here is one site's comparison: https://www.compulab.com/products/computer-on-modules/arm-system-on-module-som-comparison/The thing to consider about SOMs over SBCs is that you now need to add some external "outrigger" circuitry to do what you want, and you are usually stuck with the vendor's OS distro.

These are the ones I tend to turn to on the job, but again not as cheap as most SBCs: https://www.embeddedarm.com/products/category/computer-on-modules & https://www.digi.com/products/embedded-systems/system-on-modules And these: https://www.variscite.com/variscite-products/?msclkid=f27db97388cd107c441de4e4d732bded&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=North%20America%20general&utm_term=system%20on%20module&utm_content=system%20on%20module -- Scott G.
