Raspberry Pi 2 VS Orange Pi VS Banana Pro

[@andrednz]

Your video comparison is excellent! I don't know why nobody complimented you for that yet... Cheers from Brazil!

[@greatscottlab]

andrednz Thanks ;-)

[@thelennipede9382]

+GreatScott! i cannot wait for the pomegranate pi...

[@45rpm.]

I sometimes like to use a flame thrower for soldering, it's just quicker.

[@aaroNiGHTS]

The Raspberry Pi has such a huge boost in value just because of the community support available. For someone like me whose not an expert, it's necessary!

[@OfficialForekast]

***** Nice affiliate link and shameless promotion of it!

[@gammondork]

I've been reading up on these 3 boards for the past couple of days, but I much prefer to watch comparisons over reading them, so thank you! You've made my day :)

[@krmax44]

Apple Pi would cost 500$. :DDD

[@madcatz3d]

krmax44 XD

[@derbeutelbar5121]

krmax44 mac mini mini or what? xD

[@madcatz3d]

DerBeutelBär xD mini mini

[@havabighed]

Orange Pi Plus is a quad core.

[@Inesophet]

thanks, great video. Got myself an Orange Pi ONE and im super happy with it. due to the very low price im not afraid to solder and experiment around with it, since if i break it, a new one costs less then trip to a KFC.

[@AhmedSalam]

I've been following you on KZbin for a long amount of time and got fascinated by the awesome projects you present on each video . I want to ask you on how did you gather all this knowledge on Electronics and programming since you're still this young ??? what is your advice on that to get me going on in the same path ??

[@PyroFactor101]

Take a look at how far the orange pi has come... I think you should do another video with the new "orange pi 2" or the mini version against the raspberry pi.

[@martin2250]

ich hab auch vor kurzem ein Upgrade für meinen alten Pi-B gesucht. Beim nächsten Vergleich sollte unbedingt ein Board aus der ODROID Reihe rein, der C1 kostet fast so viel wie ein rpi, hat aber einen noch besseren Prozessor und auch DDR3 RAM. Ist leider in Deutschland nur bei pollin erhältlich und bis jetzt noch nicht lieferbar (wussten auf Anfrage auch kein Datum). Jetzt wird's doch erstmal ein neuer Raspberry.

[@5729ariel]

This video was excellent! You presented a lot of great information to people like me who are new to Raspberry Pi. Keep up the good work!!

[@galifreydan]

Very good presentation, well spoken, clear and concise and informative.

[@DSCKottawa]

Use the Raspberry Pi 2.It offers great renewed features at a low price.Definitely would buy it for my projects!!!!

[@bhosaleprathamesh4557]

Can you tell me if I connect it to a tv with HDMI and play a movie from where will the sound come from TV or Raspberry pi

[@FlameSoulis]

I have my Pi2 arriving today, but after I finish my intended goal with it, I plan to get the ODROID-C1. I don't have bench power supplies and fancy measurement tools, but I'm curious to see how well the two compare, considering their price tags are close and the C1 appeared before Pi2 (not bashing, but the Pi2, which wasn't supposed to be released until 2017, suddenly appearing when C1 jumps out of the gate with an agreement with Microsoft and Windows 10? Totally not related).

[@walterp7125]

I'm thinking to buy an orange but I'm not sure.Do you think it is better to wait they solve these problems ? Maybe now is much more better a banana ...what do you think about? The orange web site is very bad , after 3 days the user group doesn't give the possibility to read some post and write something to get informations about it.....

[@subrotoxing8214]

the best part is the hdmi connector it looks like someone use a flame-thrower to reflow them ... OMG i cant stop laughing

[@Soulzarath1]

So why did they start naming these microcomputers after fruits? Also, what is that touch screen device with the VGA and DVI port at 0:07? Thank you.

[@JonnyFlame10]

+Kyle DuBois (Soulzarath) It's just their codenames for their mini computers and that's a screen that Scott made out of an old broken laptop and converted it into a multipurpose screen so it can be a pc monitor or a tv, it really isn't t hat expensive or hard to make other than the case that holds it which may varry but it's pretty cool and it's on my to-do-list

[@Soulzarath1]

JonnyFlame Sweet.

[@bwselectronic]

Kyle DuBois I look at it this way. the other fruits don't leave the expensive bitter taste that the apple does. :)

[@brodycarty3597]

So can you use a raspberry pi to make a matrix?

[@islleybaptistha7507]

Cara... Salgadérrimo o preço de 750 conto. No ML mesmo tem de 260 conto. Mesmo levando em conta os "Extras" que vem. Mas de qualquer jeito o trequinho é bom pra relembrar os tempos nostalgicos.. muito bom.

[@ANurkholis]

great comparation vid dude. I like ur delivery.. very clear

[@junits15]

since the banana and the orange use the same power management chip is there any way to add a battery to the banana pi and take advantage of the battery management circuit inside the chip?

[@AbarSimorgh]

Would like to see a comparison with Hummingboard. Thank you.

[@andre_bella]

***** Hummingboard, is more expensive and has a very low quality manufacture.

[@bazu76]

@3.55 I see a WiFi antenna is it right? What's its technical name? Where could I find it? And, finally, with that "antenna", Orange Pi, became wifi capable out of the box? Thanks for the video and for infos

[@GnuReligion]

I am fascinated that the Orange has a Li-ion battery buck boost / charging circuits. Here, looking at Ali Express, I see newer models, all very inexpensive, but can not tell which, if any have that circuitry. May I ask where you learned about this battery feature?

[@JohnJones-tt9uz]

Bravo - Excellent Video. What is that Led Machine you have to the side?

[@AlberAmmanuel]

what are the lcd screen you use for the raspberrypi and does that one work for the orange pi

[@power-max]

Will you be planning on comparing these boards to raspberry pi 3 just announced recently? I might actually get one if I can find one

[@FLYNN_TAGGART]

+Power Max pimoroni has a pi 3 for $35, if that's what you mean.

[@power-max]

+Ḉąp̃tǻĭñ Ẽnçhilâdă Got one from MCM for $35 + $25 for a camera module, wifi dongle, and case bundle for, + $8 shipping. It is pretty nice although still kinda sucks for internet browsing.

[@alex76gr]

Definitely i would buy (and i will at some point) the Raspberry Pi. Don't forget the noble cause for which the Pi was initially designed. All the other competitors are just aiming for profit.

[@guillepankeke2844]

If they are all open source then there is no difference. Also i dont mind we exist as a market for microelectronics, we being the majority of the worlds population, the 3d world. The ppl who used to buy the spectrum 48k, though now the strawberry if made in the uk, has a cost measured in pounds which measure more than euros>dollars>>> pesos.

[@XinJiang9]

How about the software? I find the Orange pi has a great Soc with a low price, but it seems that only a few people use it while others do their work on raspberry pi! Do these three computers have some difference while I using them?

[@shawnkcarter]

GreatScott! Just ordered a banana dev board and an orange pi plus...how does the quad core orange (1.6Ghz) compare to a raspberry pi 2 for things like Kodi, EmulationStation etc?

[@elderizm]

Where can i find a lcd screens like in the video? I have a project for tinny multimedia system for using in my car too use as a navigation or video clips or both.

[@elderizm]

Or! Wait a minute! Maybe you're gonna did this for me Scott? A tutorial will be good...

[@aljr357]

Which one of these boards would be the easiest for a novice that's never done anything with electronics to build a handheld gaming device and what screen would you suggest.

[@p1nesap]

great reviews and clear explanations.

[@_Epictetus_]

@GreatScott! what is the fastest development board out right now? I have tried searching but could find nothing.

[@kkroeger5868]

GreatScott. You saved me from making a terrible purchasing mistake. I decided to go with the raspberry pi instead. Thank you for your video! There are aspects of the Orange Pi I would love to have - like recharging my lithium battery - but the risks are too great. A good circuit board SHOULD look clean. Sloppy looking often correlates with USB ports not working etc. etc. I hope Orange Pi ups their game. They could be a great competitor to RaspPi and BPi

[@MoreChannelNoise]

I think I will be forrced to get the orange, even though it looks so cheaply made it can connect to a vga monitor so I can hook it to a cheaper monitor made for computers instead of having to buy a more expensive tv with hdmi port.

[@MoreChannelNoise]

ok thanks, will you order 2dozen for me then?

[@Noniksleft]

***** They only come in 1 dozen packs, limit 1 per customer. I can't recall the company that had this offer, so I'll leave it up to you to google it.

[@MoreChannelNoise]

LOL pity I missed the special offer :)

[@DirectorAntify]

You can buy a HDMI to VGA adapter... They are like 10 bucks

It's possible to connect a dvd rom in the sata socket of the banana pro?

[@rafaelvalverde608]

It was quite usefull! We sell orange pi pc on our store and there's no much info about the board. Thank you for the excelent video! Cheers from Brazil, mate!

[@amyrose4643]

I love this! how much does the banana pi cost?

[@_Mackan]

Damn I want a LED matrix. Should I start with a smaller one, like say, 5x5? or should I make a LED cube instead?

[@meececa]

LED cube

[@DerekDickerson]

GreatScott! This doesn't work with the orange pi mini btw at least 5v 2.5 amps

[@Tinyonestore2014]

Hey have you seen the New Orange Pi plus? with a Quadcore H3 SOC, 8Gb eMMC, SATA, Onboard WIFI, 40 PIN GPIO, 4 USB 2.0 Port and 4K video... ? its a huge improvement and takes the best featues of them all combined into one board.

[@Lee90000]

Thanks. First time I ever heard of the orange pi. What next ? Strawberry pi? apple pi?

[@DerMishaa]

Hay in your video i saw that the Pi cost 25 pounds. Could you tell me the name of this site?

[@mountainbearoutdoors]

thanks for the review I liked your non biased approach and it got me thinking

[@SciFer3321]

Hi. I'm very new to this and am interested in knowing if it's possible to build a DVR with 3 ATSC tuners (watch one live while possibly recording to different shows) using XBMC? If so which one would you recommend and can you add this to the request list? Thanks!

[@TheMandarG]

Amazing review.... Can you please tell us how can we use a battery for Banana Pro? Must one take care of charging offline?

[@blupace_7282]

I see there is now the Banana Pi M2 Quad core available, ill be buying one in a few weeks... if you are interested ill send you details of it...

[@Ronke01]

I am still torn between the banana pro and raspberry pi 2... I like the extra's on the banana such as gigabit ethernet, wireless and IR control, but I do want to try that ambilight mod you did, for which I would need a raspberry :(

[@kosairox]

Hey, I want to use something like that for my robotics project. Could you recommend me one that would handle Kinect and simple point cloud processing?

[@_mr_z_]

My head is going to blow as you have dropped the knowledge bomb on me.

[@harionplll]

You have some tutorials with this GLEDIATOR program? I have raspberry pi 2 and WS2812B leds and i want test it. Where i can download this, where i must connect leds etc? Thanks!

[@harionplll]

007ghg7 you have any tutorial about control WS2812B with raspberry but in english?

[@kipdotnet]

Hey scott, Have you ever considered making your own single board computer? You certainly seem to have the knowledge and resources.

[@Sam-dc9bg]

I think it will be interesting to watch the progress of these systems over the next decade.

[@DancesWithRobots]

I'm REALLY curious about this new Orange Pi PC. Can't find out much about it but for $15 I couldn't help myself and got one put onto the slow boat.

[@wheelsnvolts]

+DancesWithRobots could you give more info on your purchase? ...

[@DancesWithRobots]

+wheelsnvolts Here's a link. www.aliexpress.com/item/Orange-Pi-PC-linux-and-android-mini-PC-Beyond-Raspberry-Pi-2/32448079125.html There are a number of Orange Pi devices. The one I ordered hasn't actually shipped yet, and none of the hundreds of orders before mine have reported any "feedback." So. . .this might be one of those "If it sounds too good to be true then it probably isn't." cases. Caveat Emptor.

[@metalrott324]

I want to build a dedicated Arcade Machine running MAME, which software and hardware would you recommend ?

[@DeKnuffelrups37]

Hey Scott, what do you suggest. Im building a retropie gamingstation with an 16000mAh battery inside, and old screen and two old PS3 controllers to make a on the go gaming sytem. So what do you think? the Raspberry PI2, the Orange PI or the Banana pro?

[@hugoswitt1950]

Hey I have a old 8inch tablet touch screen could you show how to set up a touch screen pi

[@DarrenEnns1]

Review of the new Orange Pi 2? Just saw it mentioned on CNX Software blog. Would be interested to hear what you think of it.

[@wrenbrighton2358]

I would love to see something about cluster computing with these boards.

[@KarriKoivusalo]

One thing I wish all these SBC manufacturers paid more attention to is the IO connector layout. It's pretty awkward to have cables sticking out from every edge, especially when there's internal and external connectors side by side. I have a BananaPro and for my project (a car computer) it's pretty much perfect, but the IO layout doesn't make me want to design a compact device with it.

[@MrHamsterbacke756]

Please make part 3 with the Raspberry Pi 2.

[@FunctionalHacker]

Just look at the title of the video, it says Raspberry Pi....

[@MrHamsterbacke756]

Lol i don´t understand what you mean.

[@FunctionalHacker]

Mr HamsterBacke I take it you want a new video with the new Raspberry Pi 2 that was released last month? Well the Raspberry Pi in this video is the New Raspi 2

[@FunctionalHacker]

Mr HamsterBacke Sorry I forgot to put the number 2 in my last comment :D

[@TheMrJuoji]

what is the model/reference of the screen who connect on the diplay port

[@MarcoFranceschini1971]

Great great GreatScott!

[@WesleyDugg]

Id like to see a comparison with the Orange pi Plus

[@andegott546]

how did you do that VU meter on your matrix?

[@Kisty_]

Paint it red to make it go faster!

[@tims6896]

It sounds like the Banana is Better, but i want to host a TS3 Server on win 10 and wanted to ASK you which Pi You Recommend! Can you tell me which has a Better performance?

[@69iqtutorial]

What are the differences between raspberry pi 1 and arduino due and zero board

[@007gurkan]

You should add which board fully supports (both hardware and software or source avaliblity ) open gl es support to your reviews

[@aliadelhd]

which one is the cheapest ???

[@MrMaulwurf]

Hey Scott, thank you for your videos! I especially like the Ambilight vids. How about a introduction to capacitors and its use in combination with the Pi? Never really understood how I am supposed to use them.

[@jindrichvesely9065]

which one i should use as minecraft/teamspeak/ftp server ?(i know how to do it)

[@JosePron19]

Hey you test the udoo board?

[@greatscottlab]

Good idea for the future.

[@rarespadiu5514]

I have the Raspberry Pi B+ and I have to say that I am very impressed with its performance despite what I read about it that it is very slow, It is actually quite fast for such a compact little machine.

[@w1lo151]

Hey! where i can find gpio powered display for raspberry pi 2

[@Retro_Hacker]

Its great,Scott!!!

[@harionplll]

Can you make a video with raspberry programming tutorial?

[@bahaaezz1407]

Hi, I'm a fan of RPI especially because of its size, but to be fair you need to compare it to orange pi plus (1.6 Ghz quad-core) which is more efficient but also bigger.

[@xcodydoe]

I told my dad about Raspberry pi, banana pi and orange pi..he thought it was some new ice cream thing :P I wanted to know why I would buy icecream thats $69.9USD on amazon :/

[@goodbye4552]

What is that a computer thing?

[@xcodydoe]

Basically a small computer. Like really small but powerful enough to play minecraft (probably) on max settings :3. It doesn't support* windows right now but it will be supported by windows 10 so then its gonna be like a computer that you use daily, just with less performance. :P

[@goodbye4552]

You're a smart nerd XD!

[@xcodydoe]

they're very cool, for me the best of 'em would be the orange. Idk I gotta watch synthetic benchmarks to decide, its pretty cheap too. I'd buy one to make my own router or as a tablet to carry to school

[@xcodydoe]

xDDD, geek*, Actually idek. maybe hybrid :P

[@yesihavereadit]

why not just use a cheap quad core phone with display, keyboard etc already in it? screen mirror to your smart TV? load rfo basic if you want to start programing? or an old PC with Linux?

[@MrHamsterbacke756]

Weißt du auf welchem der 3 mini Computer Emulatoren am besten laufen? Ich weiß auf allen drein sind Konsolen der 4 Generation kein Problem doch wie ist es mit der 5 Generation? Vielen dank im vorraus

[@derbeutelbar5121]

Mr HamsterBacke Die 5. funktioniert auf dem rasperry 2 b und auf dem alten b+ hat es nicht so reibungslos geklappt . von dem banana weiß ich nichts. Es gibt sogar eine Website dazu de.ign.com/raspberry-pi-2/104319/feature/eine-retro-konsole-im-eigenbau-mit-dem-raspberry-p . Da gibs auch eine distro extra dafür :)

[@MrHamsterbacke756]

Da gibts zwar ne Distro für und ein Tutorial brauch ich auch nicht. Doch N64 und PS1 laufen einfach nicht sonderlich gut.

[@derbeutelbar5121]

wobei bei der n64 gehts noch schau dir mal ein paar videos dazu an es hat jetzt kaum fps drops oder sowas.

[@sp0rkay]

I have worked heavily with the Banana PI/Pro and while it is well made, it has some serious issues. Copywrite issues to boot, and then theres the fact that the AXP209 is not properly configured both in software and hardware. The board does not completely shut down power, and the chargine features are useless. I have worked heavily with the I2C bus that the AXP209 is on and there is no fix, it is a design/hardware issue. However, lemaker makes some great products and I still would reccomend their product for most uses that aren't power sensitive(such as battery powered wireless devices)

[@monogramx6061]

Anyone know here I can find a small screen to attach to my raspberry pi 2 b. I looked online but am not getting any luck

[@TripleBProductionzz]

Your Video's are so cool. I'm thinking of starting your Old Laptop LCD project in order to play games from my ps3.

[@dogacel]

The video i am waiting for thanks Scott !

[@greatscottlab]

You're welcome!

[@TheRealThisIsAlex]

GreatScott! Can you make a Rc car?

[@greatscottlab]

Alex Gamer _360 I will put it on my to-do list.

[@TigerClawTV]

Super informative. Thanks for making this.

[@ratnadeepkadam1637]

Sry to say but i m not getting why u used apple image with raspberry to show comparison...

[@MrBobWareham]

Love your videos very good with lots of info so I want to make a video player using XBMC to play my videos and other films from the internet on TV but the Pi is slow so how about a video showing the best home entertainment system that would be interesting using the best from this review. Thanks Bob

[@cameronduffy6979]

Keep up the good work!

[@ansharora976]

Pls make a video on orange pi win plus vs raspberry pi 3b+

[@TheS1l3ntOne]

I want to make a super powerful laptop. Witch one should i choose

[@redhonu]

I would buy the raspberry pie because I'm i'm just starting to learn about electronics. I think you should use the raspberry pie to control your LED panel because it is the most used pie device.

[@SooiiRonicRecords]

What was the point of this video if you couldn't give us an overall conclusion on which one was the best

[@greatscottlab]

+SooiiRonicRecords It always depends on what you want to do with it.

[@johncherry108]

+SooiiRonicRecords I think enough was said to make an informed decision. I have an Orange Pi, but I don't think I'll spend any more money on it.

[@ZLau13]

BPro is looking amazing for a server with it's dedicated Ethernet and SATA port, I really like Orange's onboard VGA and battery circuit, and the RasPi has the best graphics solution (if you're a coder) and software support IMO. For desktop use I'd right now recommend Odroid XU4! It's under $80, has 2GHz quad core Cortex-A15 processor with four more LITTLE cores making it effectively an octa-core machine, and the Mali T6 GPU is way better than what you usually find on these kinds of devices.

[@moetazaissaoui9624]

in conclusion which one is better ? for every day using

[@cindyricks9189]

why dont you do a video about a wireless arduino?

[@Dr.Cosmar]

If I ever make one, I'ma call it the "turnip pie".

[@ChrisD4335]

what about the Orange Pi 2?
