shannong Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 Check this out. Intel released a "PC on a stick" product. Anything with an HDMI port can become a PC. They have a variety of options including an ATOM processor version running Linux for only $47! They also have USB3 ports on them to allow connections of external devices. These could be useful for those who need external data collectors, triggers, integration of other software, etc. http://www.intel.com/buy/us/en/catalog/desktop/computesticks

If you didn't have one that made it more expensive and then at that point you could just get their wired version which was about $130. These Intel ones for $50-80 seem good too. We are getting to a point where cheap PC sticks can be powerful nodes like you said. Thanks for sharing.
shannong Posted November 4, 2016 Author Posted November 4, 2016 Intel has versions with m5 series processors, which are what's found in laptops. The fastest available right now is the 1.1Ghz dual core version. All the other sticks I've seen are just ATOM processors only.

But if you just want something like Tasker, ElkRP, or ISY admin console access you don't need speed. Just a solid platform that performs well. I also use them for installing remote control programming software on to push updates from my phone. NodeLink works well on them as well as hue emulator for those who don't have/pay for the ISY portal. Anyways good stuff. Thanks again for sharing. These guys are Pi guys so it's refreshing to see something else.
