Yeah, the Pi moving to full computer thing is weird because the SD card is still a massive bottleneck on normal day-to-day usage.

Will you use a separate flight controller chip or try to do it all on board?

It’s been a while but I remember Orange Pi having terrible support? I haven’t heard of the others.

Whereas the RPi has the amazing compute module if you need it too.

Sometimes paying more is better.

Discord. I mostly post in an Ultima 7 modding community and helped out a bit but we also just talk about video games and stuff.

It’s hard to find the smaller servers where you can actually have a decent discussion though, just like IRC back in the day.

What are the better options?

Pis have great software support so for GPIO experimentation it’s so useful.

Ocarina of Time - it was mindblowing to have the open world at the time (I didn’t play Ultima 7 until much later) and the music is incredible.
