Talk:Vaporware Electronics

February 2015 and the Raspberry Pi Foundation has just released a quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 version of the Raspberry Pi for the same low price of $35. It runs Debian Linux armhf (32-bit) quite properly.

I personally believe that using a combination of a Raspberry Pi quad-core running Linux and a more than proven AVR Mega for realtime tasks together would provide any RepRap with more than enough processing power and connectivity options required for the foreseeable future - all that at an unbeatable price.

Yes. And it's almost trivial to replace such an ATmega with some 32-bit CPU, as Gen7-ARM and 3DPCB show. Then not even polar or delta printers should experience a processing power bottleneck. --Traumflug (talk) 04:53, 3 February 2015 (PST)
