Experiencing Pcduino

Hi,
Before I get one of this board, I was new to Linux, Python and etc. After a few round of trials, I managed to follow the tutorials and started to learn to program it. I used to use my laptop to write and program a arduino uno, now i would use my pcduino to do the job. Pcduino is a arduino and a mini PC. Besides that it runs Android too!

More over, it has Pyduino ( a programming language called Python) now. That mean, we will have near OPP language
for Arduino. It is just awesome.

Below are a few links that might help;

Hi robosan,

I don't have experience on Res-Pi. From the paper, the hardware spec of Pcduino is better than Ras-pi. Infect there is another single broad from Hardkernel (South Korea) which use Sumsung quad core arm SOP chip. This SOp is the same uP that used in Sumsung Galaxy S4. So image recognition projects and open cv project run very well on this broad.

Hi Robosang,

My mistake, the Sumsung quad core processor is a SoC (system on chip) not SoP. So to the Pcduino is using Allwinner A10 single core Arm v7 SoC.

There are some good inspiration projects posted on hardkernel home page. (www.hardkernel.com)
On the same time, we can change this small wonder into our mini Desktop + leisure entertainment provider. It is also
environment friendly, it consumes around 2A at 5V and saves space for a desktop casing.
