RASPBERRY PI STILL RULES
Les Pounder works with groups such as the Raspberry Pi Foundation to help boost people’s maker skills.
Over the 11 years that the Raspberry Pi has been with us, there have been countless contenders for its crown: Orange Pi, Banana Pi, Libre Computer, Asus Tinkerboard, Khadas and LattePanda, to name but a few. These boards vary in price from as little as £10 to hundreds of pounds, and offer GPIO and faster CPUs, and promise better performance. Sure, some of these boards do perform better than the Raspberry Pi, but there is always a trade-off.
