I hope this is relevant to this list!<br><br> I am having big dreams about what can be done with cheap, tiny computers running PD. Look at the various Laptop Orchestras popping up. So exciting! <br><br>My minimum specification is:<br><br>* Pi-like horsepower<br>* 10x buffered ADCs with 12bit precision<br>* 4x high quality isolated 24 bit @ 48 khz audio ins and 4x out<br><br>I want to build 100, <br> But first I need to build 1.<br><br>It seems the big disadvantage of an Arduino is it is underpowered vs. a RPi quad core (w/faster CPU, more memory, etc). But it seems people love Arduino due to its IO pins. Many ADCs for controllers and sensors!<br><br>Whereas the RPi is just the opposite. Also high-quality audio both in and out on a Pi seems like a problem people face. Has anyone fixed the issue yet with USB2 stability yet?<br><br>Do some people use a Pi for CPU and an Arduinio just for IO? (cf. Arduberry) This seems like what an Udoo is (both in one unit). Udoo comments? <br><br>Along these lines, I have found I really like the specs of the Wolfson Audio card. The chip it&#39;s based on (WM5102) is a 6x6.<br>Any experiences to share? <br><br>I haven&#39;t found a buffered ADC solution for high resolution sensors yet. I&#39;m just starting a search of chips capable of this, and found about 6 so far... So I&#39;m guessing there are several possible boards. Again, any recommendations appreciated (esp. of their voltage ranges can be scaled). <br><br>Are there any other single board computers I should be looking at which might help keep h/w costs down? <br><br>Thanks! <br><br><br><br>-- <br><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">--<br>
