Atomic Pi
-
I didn’t have too much time playing with it software wise. I was doing some soldering to extend the number of USB ports and to power the thing. However, I have successfully installed Linux Mint and it is running smooth. Ubuntu should run well, too.
Maybe I’ll try installing MM tomorrow and report back but I can’t promise to find the time for it. Also, I am not really a programmer (at all!) so I’ll stay away from the GPIO pins for now (until I can copy what others have done :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye: ).
My summary so far: it does have some flaws and quirks but for the price it is amazing.

@MadScientist How is it powered? microUSB or 3mm jack or what?
-
It’s powered with 5V via the GPIO pins. I soldered a barrel jack to a pin header to power the Atomic Pi. This is one of the flaws and quirks… They do sell different breakout boards but they weren’t available when I ordered my Pi.

Ok, ust for fun I installed MM an the Atomic Pi and the installation went through without a problem. MM runs pretty smooth, although I haven’t installed any demanding modules.
I also installed windows 10 on an external SSD, connected via the USB 3.0 port. It works and runs okay but I hoped it would feel a bit faster. Not sure if the USB drive is to blame or the CPU. I’d like to test a slimmed down LTSB version but I couldn’t get my hands on an iso :slightly_frowning_face:
I have no experiences with any offline speech recognition modules but I’ll get into it in July. I won’t really have the time to play around with it at the moment.
Any other modules I should try?

@MadScientist Give MMM-Globe a try to give it a workout.
