Raspberry Pi 2 VS Orange Pi 2 VS BPi-M2

[@locouk]

I'm really surprised the Chinese haven't come up with the Apple Pi™ yet.

[@dlwatib]

+Green Silver Apple lawyers would object.

[@MrBazinger]

+dlwatib China has entire fake Apple stores, and they get away with it. The Chinese dont care about lawyers!

[@joefederico1501]

+MrBazinger all Chinese are lawyers

[@SudoPi]

+Green Silver At least they'll make better products than the real Apple......

[@krmax44]

+Green Silver The Apple Pi would cost $399 minimum.

[@Shameplayy]

Damnit, get your packaging right xD

[@pi11sburydoeboy]

this is the best channel on youtube.

[@pi11sburydoeboy]

+JuriePie it wasn't a question.

[@chrisb178]

+pi11sburydoeboy pewdiepie is the best channel u idiot

[@pi11sburydoeboy]

+Christion Buric lol

[@pi11sburydoeboy]

+Diego Campos I thought that person was being sarcastic. If not then their whole entire existence is a joke.

[@christopherroche4533]

Dude, I cant even describe how much i love your videos.

[@tasmedic]

Highly impressive . Amazing content and especially how you get so much into such a short video. I wish all teachers could follow your lead. We could all learn twice as much in half the time. You're awesome! Subbed...

[@p1nesap]

great production, comprehensive reviews.

[@_ADM_]

now add water, boil it together, maybe add sugar (and lemon) for better taste ;-)

[@andrew7720]

Nice one. You could also include the beagleboards on the comparison as they seem the second most used after raspberry.

[@d4lchemist697]

What is that cool little usb multimeter that you are using at the end of the video?

[@jakubmroczek573]

Power Logger

[@LetTheNewDayBegin]

+GreatScott! Keep these videos coming. They are very good in both form and content!

[@maxresdefault_]

For me, software trumps hardware, but i think i'd still go with the orange, just because it's the cheapest and you can just get other software.

[@BalzaYT]

Thanks a lot! What I needed to know!

[@MetaZoo22]

Thanks for doing that testing. I had the predetermined thought that the Raspberry Pi 2 was the best so I didn't even consider the others when I bought it.

[@YoshikaKehelpannala]

I like the way you do your videos.. Kudos!!

[@doyenguy]

Great comparison! Very helpful.

[@echosystemd]

You really did a good job, comprehensive and interesting explanation. I like your video.

[@carloskr]

Please make another video comparing SBC, your video is almost 2 years old! And one of those SBC's has been discontinued over a year (BPI-M2)

[@wjackstl]

yep, totally agree. awesome video

[@XxHAMADEHxX]

Thank you for making these videos they are really informative

[@Deadscone]

Your voice is awesome

[@shawnkcarter]

+GreatScott OrangePi software has been improved markedly in the last 3 months - we now have linux images with both GPU drivers and video decoder working. Would you possibly be able to compare the odroid UX4 and the latest cubieboard at some point?

[@marcelomac01]

+Shawn Carter I just bought one orange pi, due to your comment and this video!

[@shawnkcarter]

+Marcelo Ribeiro Machado make sure you join the forum and there is a facebook page too with a good helpful crowd...now have OpenElec running 1080p - hope you enjoy your OrangePi! :)

[@shawnkcarter]

Yeah, think so - support will rely on what flavour of linux you are using...would suggest looking at Archlinux, as that has some of the latest updates. Also look here; www.cnx-software.com/2015/09/26/status-of-orange-pi-boards-gpio-support/

[@Minecraftminer3000]

Wow. Thanks to this video and your comment, I've ordered an Orange Pi Plus 2E from AliExpress just a week ago. I'm planning to transform it into a little media box or occasionaly run a Minecraft server on it. I've heard it supports native 4K through HDMI, that's amazing for a $35 computer!

[@Stylax32]

I own a RP 3 b+ and an an Orange PI... I must say agree with a lot of your points but my OrangePi has been great and the board itself is clean as.I'd like to see all 3 developers get together and make the Fruit Salad Pi :) Raspberry Pi is the best supported but I see more potential in the Orange.

[@norm1124]

Nice comparison, thank you a lot.

[@dergrunepunkt]

Could you please post here the resuts of the HW test?. Great channel!

[@greatscottlab]

+dergrunepunkt HW?

[@greatscottlab]

+dergrunepunkt Well, they are embedded in the video.

[@syedsardarali2652]

I like most of your videos

[@JoshKaufmanstuff]

Great video. But I must give a demerit for your bar graph color choices . .. @ 3:17 and 4:20 Orange, Raspberry, banana. . . . Was there any doubt what color these bars should have been? lol

[@MrGracham]

Nice! I love those kinds of videos!

[@AnthonyWakefield1]

Great review thank's. I have just received Orange Pi PC V1.2 board & Orange Pi Plus V1.1 board now going through hoops to find all the info as you say Orange comes last on info.

[@AIexanderHartdegen]

does this board have an integrated OS?

[@DigiDriftZone]

I cannot find where to buy an Orange Pi in the UK :(

[@ikemkrueger]

6:28 What device is that?

[@tecsolint]

Very good video and informative. Do you plan on including the Pine64 anytime soon.

[@greatscottlab]

+Edwin De Jesus Not really

[@mariuszzawierucha1310]

Hi Scott!!I'd like to refresh a topic regarding Orange Pi vs. Banana Pi especially that comunity is growing. Currently there are a newer versions of each boards. Orange Pi seems to improved software (according to buyers opinions). I'd like to know is it worth it to get either of this minicomputer (as alternative to Raspberry Pi 3 which I already have)? Purpose is installing OctoPrint on it, record video during 3d printing procces using some nice -not dedicated usb cam like ELP, store that video files on attached 2,5'' HDD and maybe play around from time to time. Best would be to get high resolution (let's say 4k, or at least HD in the worst case scenario). But as always there some cons. Some people are convinced it cannot be done, while others believe it should work :) What is the right answer? :) There isn't any instruction how to install Octoprint on BPi (while for RPi there is planty, and just a few for OPi). I'm searching solutions but in case of Orange or Banana it's not so obviouse. What about different boards (like Asus Tinker boards, Odroid or Rock)? Could you maybe do test comparison about running octoprint on that devices, please? Another question: is it possible to install Octoprint on system like Android or even Rasbian for not Raspberry devices? What is your opinion about Orange Pi and Banana? I have read what you wrote 2 years ago, but after a such amount of time your possition could be changed. Wasn't it? :)

[@cee128d]

I'm wanting to mount one of these fruity boxes on the back of a TV to play videos in our church. Would use VLC (or something similar) to rotate thru a fixed playlist of short WMV videos containing announcements, etc. that we would upload over a network. Which of these devices would you recommend for that?

[@SimisFul]

+cee128d I would recommend you buy the Raspberry Pi Zero and Install OpenELEC on it, it is an OS dedicated to being a media center and dang good at it. My Raspberry Pi can run smooth videos up to 1080p and stream 720p videos. Would be perfect for your needs

[@cee128d]

+Simisful That might work out if one could actually get one. Haven't been able to find anyone selling one for a reasonable price. Seems the only people who have them are scalpers charging 10 times the regular price.

[@pisoides]

That was "Great Scott"!

[@WesleyDugg]

Waiting for the delivery of my Orange Pi 2. I already have 3 original RPIs and was looking for the extra performance to run Octoprint. Hoping it runs okay...

[@PeterScargill]

Interesting - I've tested all of these - and the single thing that has stood out up to now - is that the ONLY unit that is properly supported with just about everything working - is the Raspberry Pi 2 and of course now the much faster Raspberry Pi 3 - which - as it is the same price as the old model 2 should be the one to compare with. Orange Pi support is non-existent - the images on the company website don't even work for the most part, I'm checking BPI-M2 now - the "Raspbian" image - the first thing I tried was the SD Copy program, one of the better features of RPI. Doesn't work. RPI does not have Android YET but at least the image people are working on is Android 6 - most of the other offerings provide pretty ancient Android like 4.2.

[@smaurice2006]

Wow this is a great comparation. now I need to by the orange pi and run XBMC

[@timramich]

You have to do something about your R's.

[@hielkebaron7007]

maybe a stupid question, bust can i use a banna pi screen on the raspberry pi 2?

[@JaviepalFordring1]

I love the raspberry Pi 3 I use it as a server for web development, angular 2 and Laravel works flawlessly.

[@MasterRey]

Scott try the odroid ones. i strong recommend the xu4 is amazing fast.

[@aslamrasheed]

What is that hardware at 6:25 ??

[@andyhoffmann8550]

It's a kind of an USB "Multitester" for current, voltage ... Example: www.dx.com/fr/p/dual-usb-current-voltage-meter-tester-voltmeter-translucent-black-434203?tc=EUR&gclid=CjwKEAiA3qXBBRD4_b_V7ZLFsX4SJAB0AtEVcX82wa_F9JQ47ZNtoIF-oeUyklCQ9G_gIcMHaw5W8hoCoa3w_wcB#.WCogTYWcGM8

[@crux6050]

Wait what was the legal thing with the banana pi thing and lemakerlink plz?

[@jessezandstra1]

I basically just want to make a little media centre. I'd like to watch movies in full hd and use internet (youtube/ fb/ email) What would be my best choice?

[@ConfuSomu]

The rasperry pi has 2 great media center OS.(I do not have a raspberry pi)

[@ConfuSomu]

+Creeper 123 good I meant

[@tobse1]

+Mustanglover10 I'm using the Amazon Fire TV Box (~85 Euros) with XBMC/Kodi. Plays 1080p mkv clean.

[@ChristopherJones16]

+Tobse the PI has osmc/kodi as well and plays bluray just fine for half the cost

[@pogoreviews5352]

Very helpful. Thanks!

[@brucecalder7752]

Awesome video! I always look forward to your new clips. I looked for a Banana Pi 2 but the cheapest I found was around $50. Can you please provide the link you mentioned for $30. Thx and keep up the Great (Scott!!) work.

[@McLidl]

Will the monitor/display port on the Banana work with any type of screen with the same socket, or are you stuck with a Banana brand screen/other screen with external driver? I have lots of junk electronics like a couple of perfectly working screens, would be fun to make a tablet or some other portable device. Also, can you use a rc car single cell lipo pack for power? Those packs usually have a lot more mAh than those UltraFire or similar type of batteries.

[@5.56x45-y]

What about Odroid? I have an Odroid XU4 and it is pretty good.

[@0b4y3mi]

odroid is the best :D I got a U3 before the raspberry pi 2 was even out, and it was an awesome 4 core 1GB RAM board for not much more than the price of a raspberry pi B :D

[@gusgone4527]

Thank you so much for this.

[@mikelemon5109]

Thanks for the video keep it coming. Would love to see a tutorial about how antennas and RF transmission work if you are looking for suggestions.

[@lotsarats]

be cool if you could do a vid on pi zero, orange pi one, orange pi lite, banana pi m2+ and the banana pi r1 router looks cool.

[@tomekb1999]

Hey, +GreatScott! , could you recommend an cheap and good HD camera?

[@Bence507]

Thanks for the great video, again! :) I'm currently thinking on a low power consumption device, for browsing and watching videos, because using the PC for this is just wasting. The BananaPi looks great for me, what do you think, this device can handle it? Just browsing, videos(720p at max), and documents... Or should I choose some other fruit?

[@flashboyonly]

Nice job. Thanks for the video :)

[@MoreChannelNoise]

The raspberry pi3 is now out so maybe an update?

[@greatscottlab]

+MoreChannelNoise It is on my to do list.

[@bhargavarajeswaran1784]

good video.thanks .could you please make a video on C.H.I.P vs RASPBERRY PI ZERO vs PINE64+. IT WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL.

[@tobia_scivoletto]

i like raspberry for the software. It's very performing

[@Khaliddhali]

at 6:28, where can I get that mini (USB to USB) power (V, I) measuring device, please?

[@djmalachite]

can you do a review on the raspberry pi 3

[@Diamonddrake]

Where can I get that little USB power measurement tool shows at the very end of the video?

[@Daniel-fw5gu]

@GreatScott super video, aber ein kleiner fehler: In deinem Video hast du auf den Display port anstatt des camera port des Raspberry Pi gezeigt. Was viele nicht wissen, auch Android geht auf dem pi (ziemlich flüssig aber ohne playstore)

[@greatscottlab]

Ups. Mistakes happen.

[@Mark33090]

Do any of them stream video like KZbin?

[@kylethomas6599]

I have 3 screens from some old tablets I got, they seem to have the same connectors as on the R Pi 2. will they work?

[@Max_Weight]

Kyle Thomas have you tried it already?

[@miroslawdebiec6839]

Good comparison, pay more with RPI for better community and get better hardware with Orange or Banana. All are equal at certain level.

[@Bonehead321123]

Hey at the very end of the video where you showed the how much power was going through the usb. What is that? I have been looking around and cant find a good one. I want to use it to test out some battery packs that I have.

[@greatscottlab]

Hmmmmm I do not play around with SBC so much anymore.

Hi, did't you try to get hdmi working if not connected at boot time? I'was only able to force hdmi output and resolution on raspi. It's an importent feature if you connect a board to a tv set that isn't set to hdmi in at boot time. Haven't tried banana pi 2 yet.

Why did you compare only the Fruit Pis and not boards like the ODROID-C1+ which falls in the same price range? I get you need to make a selection and can't cover all the boards out there. But the ones you choose are all named after a piece of fruit, was that a conscious decision?

[@greatscottlab]

+axMf3qTI I think it is just interesting to see how companies try to "copy" an existing concept and name (the fruits) and make them better in one way or another. But I can surely have a look at the ODROID-C1+ in the future.

I wish they would do POE, I run ~20 Pi2s for chrome kiosks and have POE switches, but each Pi2 has to have a power rig...

[@zuippo1]

You should check out the Odroid series. The Odroid C1 is faster and cheaper than the BPi-M2. If you need even more power then there's the Odroid XU4 that has 2GB RAM, faster CPU and USB 3.0 (great for fileserver with usb HDDs) roughly double the price of the Odroid C1 though. I run arch linux on my C1 which also includes a port of the wiringPI library. You can get these boards from pollin in Germany.
