Recommend GPIO Top for said Libre Renegade?
April 09, 2023 11:34PM
My first Pi-style (not a perfect v3 clone) Rockchip-based doodad that loves the Libre version of Raspbian best out of the all-in-one Linux distros. I'm not through checking out Armbian but Reaper ran great on Raspbian, all things considered that's a good thing.

One more USB 3.0 port without being hubbed (yet) would greatly help my uses for this, but if there's a highspeed place to tap in I haven't seen it.

Even more IO overall is still a good thing even if additional IO is slower.

See I got no toes wet with original RPis in the first place, so I'm unsure with certainty anything matching GPIOs, let alone something useful. This will be my low-end emergency PC sometimes, stream 1080p tutorials many times and one trick pony (at a time) stuff.

Just a versatile breakout box is what I'm hoping for; at the brainstorming stage. I added the Libre heatsink and might add the plastic case for IO borders and use an Xacto knife t trim any plastic case that needs hole for breakout box or cover it, either way.

One more high speed USB port would be awesome. The current USB hub that I have plugged into that has 4 switches and 4 ports. The power supply is 3A. I probably won't use analog audio and also probably won't use wireless.

By the way this is effortless with touchscreen! Living high on the hog here LOL

If I can find the right saw I'll make a Libre Renegade case out of popsicle sticks and wooden matches; find my Zen LOL

By the way, my pink Pogoplug, while it is in storage at the moment, I'll proudly leave it in the pink case because it's such a cool little 1.3 ghz beaut :-)
