My first post on this website. Seems like a very good price. In fact it's the cheapest I think it's ever been on ozbargain? (almost too good to be true). Please post any suggestions on good PSU / Case that is on special. I've bought one myself to run hass.io (home assistant).

    Novice question, what's this one used for?

    • kiwijunglist on 06/12/2017 - 22:21

      it's a small cheap low powered computer. it runs linux. lots of different uses: eg. server, media centre, home automation hub, etc.

      If you have kids, I suggest installing kano so they can learn programming through gaming.

      • aimon on 07/12/2017 - 06:38

        Do you have one. I read a review where they didn't think the extra cost was worth it.

        • mathew42 on 07/12/2017 - 08:14

          I have the 'kano' hardware, but I agree it is not necessary.

          You can download the kano OS and it will run perfectly fine.

        Would it be considered elder abuse to visit a nursing home and record voices of some of the residents?

          Not if you get permission.

      • Stoz on 07/12/2017 - 09:30

        I've currently got a Pi 2 running pi-hole. I'm on NBN with a netphone service that uses my old PSTN handset plugged into a phone port on the back of my modem. Any tips for how I could set up Asterisk?

        • sanmigueelbeer on 07/12/2017 - 17:24

          Well, to install Asterisk on a Pi, go HERE.

          Just a warning that Asterisk is all CLI. If you want GUI, then pick a flavour, like FreePBX or Elastix, for your install.

        • t3chshopper on 07/12/2017 - 00:40

          @Slippery Fish: There's no AU version. There's the original UK version, and a Chinese version. After some reading, my preference leans towards the UK version.

        • garage sale on 07/12/2017 - 05:47

          i have uk and chinese version, they are the same quality and the chinese version is made under license. they did it due to demand and they couldn’t make enough in the uk.

          the soc used is actually custom , has floating point arithmetic, which the normal broadcom chip doesn’t, and raspberry pi control who can get the soc so there are no clones …… orange pi, banana pi. use different soc and aren’t 100% compatible ….

          so chinese raspberry pi aren’t copy, just made on a different production line.

          possibly same that made your mobile phone …

        Apparently some issues may arise if you dont use 2.5A PSU

        There are also good ones with an inlinr switch to turn on/off

        • Blitzfx on 07/12/2017 - 00:46

          Definitely get at least 2A power. I had a 1A and the Pi kept rebooting when I had the raspi Camera plugged in, with an external hdd and mouse + keybaord.

      • Avatar on 06/12/2017 - 22:38

        It can be powered over micro usb. I personally have mine plugged in to the usb port of something like this.

        I think by now most people would have multiple usb chargers/ports that output enough amps to run a pi3… i have like 8.

    • Hornpub on 06/12/2017 - 22:37

      i got few old phone HTC M9, it only output 1A.
      and the xiaomi xiaofang camera PSU, only out 1A as well. (shame coz the size is tiny)

      so make sure it output near 2A. (coz i used one [xiaofang]for my 3D printer, and it ruined a 10 hour print coz of that…..)

      • pinkybrain on 07/12/2017 - 00:23

        how did it ruin the 3d print?

        • wukachuka on 07/12/2017 - 00:46

          I assume his Pi crashed by not getting 2.5a
          They are pretty picky about power.

        • Hornpub on 07/12/2017 - 01:15

          yep, the pi feed all the movement to the ramps board. the pi shuts down due to lack of power.

        • pinkybrain on 07/12/2017 - 08:39

          @Hornpub:

          and the xiaofang camera was connected to the pi's usb port?
          so the camera drew too much power from the pi, is that how the pi shutdown?
