Raspberry pi shortages.

[Mark]

I am not sure how everyone else is finding it, Formbot who I buy my kits from, has had no pi's for the last two builds however I took them as I could pillage a couple of Octopis I had.

Can't find any at the moment in NZ either.

I do have a couple of zeros with wifi,that octopi didn't like.

Could I use pi zero for voron 2.4?

I have seen pineapple and banana pi boards but don't know if they are clones or close enough to use, if anyone has ideas. Hmm sounds kinda fruity too.

Cheers Mark

I have been using an old Orange PI from a previous project. https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-zero-plus-2-h3/. There are newer models with more memory and cpu available. But it has been working well so far.

There was a little more work involved to setup usb serial, but a dts overlay fixed it up. Setting up a adxl345 now.

Well there's hope for my Raspberry pi zero, maybe it was orange not pineapple like I thought. I don't know if I understand or could do how you got the orange to work, but appreciate the hopefulness of my pi Zero.
