@BlueFeather posted:Dave, that's a $15, seven year old board. :-) You can spend a little more and speed things up fairly easily if that's the bottleneck.
LOL, no, just wanted to see if it works. IMHO, it boots too slow to be useable in a control panel. You want the panels to be up and operational as soon as the Base 3 is booted.
Because of its small size, the Pi Zero would have been a good choice to build right into a panel. I have a Pi Zero 2 on order at the whopping price of $24, so there may still be hope!
but frankly, that's something a little bigger than the size of a stick of chewing gum can be a fully functioning computer with a GUI, TCP/IP, etc., is still pretty amazing!
