Orange Pi 3 LTS

Justo lo que andaba buscando, se ajusta a mis necesidades, fácil de configurar

First, kudos to the OrangePi website for making their software downloads readily available, and easy to understand what each download includes. SOME companies (looking at YOU, Creality) have god awful sites and impossible to understand descriptions (specifically referring to the firmware for the ender 3 v2).I bought the OrangePi in an effort to have a dedicated controller for the Ender. I'm brand new to 3d printing, and it blows my mind that they don't put a $2 wifi chip in these machines to at least allow sharing of files. The whole thing of transferring an SD card (MicroSd, at that) is ridiculous.Anyway, Octoprint solves all of that, and you get a few more features that overcome deficiencies in your firmware.The last time I used a CLI with any kind of frequency is back in the DOS era, and couldn't wait to leave that. GUIs became the next big thing for a reason. Yes, Linux brought back horrid memories, but I was able to install Octoprint and all of the do-dads in 4 or 5 hours.This kit is pretty cool, although I'm not sure where you're supposed to put the wifi antenna. For now I just have it sitting around. Seems like some sort of port on the case is warranted, but that will come later.I have no point of reference as to this device vs a Raspberry Pi, but for Octoprint, it runs just fine and was a relative breeze to set up.

I bought this device to learn about SBC and what they could do for me. I've decided on using this device for PI Hole filtering, small file sharing and wanted to use it to house mp3 file for my SONOS system to play.I couldn't get SONOS app to work on this machine, when I attempted to flash another linux distro I was unable to do so, the SD card, which had a image of Ubuntu would not read on boot. Looking online this seems to be a somewhat common problem. In attempts to get the device to look for the SD card, I formatted the EMMC and edited the boot loader, still the device will not look to the SD card to boot. This has made the device dead with no boot option.**Update** I was able load an Armbian Image download from OrangePI website. The options for OS images is limited as it requires specific images that include drivers for the Orange PI 3 LTS device.I have a Orange PI 5 Plus as well and that is working well. I will replace this device once I can figure out which SBC will play nice with SONOS.

I bought my Orange Pi 3 LTS from Shenzhen Xunlong Software CO. Limited, and it works amazing.When I first got it I thought it was broken because it showed no signs of life when you plug it in / press power button.YOU MUST HAVE THE microSD / TF CARD FLASHED PROPERLY BEFORE THE THING WILL TURN ON.Hopefully someone will see this and not make the same mistake I did. Thank you Shenzhen Xunlong Software CO. Limited!This board is not a powerhouse by any means, but in 2022 if you need a nice little compute board for running command line programs / dev work this works. I will use mine to demo some smart contract client software.

Had alot of problems with mainsail setup finally got sick of it and used rpi to run mainsail

With the crazy prices that raspberry pies are going for, I decided to give this a try for my home automation server.Setting up the device is very quick and easy. Just follow the docs on their website, and you can have Debian up and running in no time.Temps seem manageable, even with just the passive cooling that comes with it--at least for light usage.While it was a bit hard to find docs for my specific use case (Home Assistant), I was eventually able to figure it out using some resources I found in forums.

Connected to my 3d printer and it makes life so much easier! Very glad I picked this up
