LoveRPi Libre Computer Le Potato Mini Single Board Computer with USB WiFi 4 and Heatsink (2GB WiFi 4, Libre Blue)

this little thing has been great. I run home automation on it.

I've wanted to get a RPi for a while now but they've been so insanely expensive and/or hard to get lately. Came across this RPi 3 clone and for $35 for "pro" version after coupon, I couldn't say no. I was expecting to run into issues at every turn with this board, my plan was for it to be an emulator console to play old-school games, but for the price i figured it was worth some headache to get it set up and running. Wow was I wrong... Batocera has an image specifically for the Le Potato. I downloaded that image, wrote it to my microSD with BalenaEtcher, popped it into the Le Potato and everything booted right up. I have an old Steam Controller that I used to test with, plugged it in, everything just worked... Le Potato found the WiFi dongle and I got it connected to my network, SSHed to it and transferred my ROM files to it, and just started playing games. I was amazed that every part of this project worked without any kind of issues or troubleshooting needed start to finish. LibreComputer knocked it out of the park with this thing, I know it's technically "last gen" tech, but at least it is priced right and still runs plenty of stuff. I will be definitely be buying more of these little guys (I have plans for a Kali install and maybe as a replacement board for my 3D Printer). Great job Libre!

alles super es ist doch da

I have this board since a couple month now , i installed armbian/debian/ubuntu/raspbian , i changed power supply, i changed sd card. I changed wifi card. Always a problem, wifi dropping randomly, sd card corrupted suddenly or whatever , always a problem, and many time i tough i had it fix but 2 day later another problem pop up...poor driver/software support...wish i had buy a PI...wasted money and time.

Reicht als Serverchen für openHAB. Etwas mehr RAM würde aber gut tun. Stromverbrauch ist 1a (sehr niedrig). Serverimages von Libre Computer sind Ok. Workstationimages zu fett für das RAM. Bei Armbian etwas viel gebastel.
