ODROID-XU4 vs Tinker Board & Raspberry Pi 3

ODROID-XU4, Asus Tinker Board and Raspberry Pi 3 single board computer head-to-head — comparing the hardware, then running Sysbench and other benchmark tests.

You can find the above SBCs on Amazon.com as follows:

ODROID-XU4: http://amzn.to/2AiNju4

Tinker Board: http://amzn.to/2ib4fYV

Raspberry Pi 3: http://amzn.to/2Aika1U

On Amazon UK, the links are:

Asus Tinker Board:

Raspberry Pi 3:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01CD5VC92/ref=nosim?tag=explainin-21

And to buy an ODROID-XU4 in the UK, I would purchase directly from Hardkernel:

37:26 Power For Your Electronics Projects - Voltage Regulators and Converters

Power For Your Electronics Projects - Voltage Regulators and Converters

Full article at https://dbot.ws/pwrvolt
More info and projects at https://dronebotworkshop.com
Join the newsletter, and tell me what videos to make at https://dbot.ws/dbnews

Today we are going to look at the somewhat mundane but absolutely essential subject of supplying power for your electronic projects. Trust me, this stuff is important!

Electronic devices typically require either 5 or 3.3 volts, sometimes both. Other common voltage requirements include 6 and 12 volts for motors and displays. Some complex designs (ie. a robot) require several different supplies with different current capabilities.

When you build your latest robot or IoT device you’ll need to consider how you'll supply these voltages in the real world. On the workbench you can use a bench power supply if you have one, a USB adapter or even the USB port on a computer (just like with the Arduino).

But when your creation needs to exist on its own with a line-powered or battery power supply you’ll need to figure out how to get all of those voltages delivered to your components, preferably easily and inexpensively.

I have nine, yes nine methods of doing exactly that. Today I’ll show you a number of different voltage regulators and converters ranging from the classic 7805 3-pin voltage regulator to a tiny device that can supply a steady 5 volts even when your battery is about to die.

Check out the following Table of Contents to skip ahead to the power supply solution of your choice. Or just sit back and enjoy the show.

INTRO

Breadboard power supply module — 3:00
Power Supply Basics — 6:28

LINEAR REGULATORS

LM7805 — 5 Volt linear regulator — 11:42
LM317 — Variable linear regulator — 14:32
PSM-165 — 3.3 Volt linear regulator module — 17:52
AMS1117 — 5 Volt linear regulator module — 19:47
L4931CZ33-AP — 3.3 volt low voltage-drop regulator — 21:43

VOLTAGE CONVERTERS

Buck Converter Intro — 23:51
MINI-360 — Variable buck converter — 24:41
Boost Converter Intro — 26:46
PSM-205 — USB boost converter — 27:37
MT3608 — Variable boost converter — 29.07
Buck Boost Converter Intro — 31:06
S9V11F5 — 5 Volt buck boost converter — 33:06

That last module is the one I was referring to earlier, it really is an amazing device and is perfect for your battery powered projects.

As with all of my videos there is an article at https://dbot.ws/pwrvolt where you will find more details regarding all of the voltage regulators, buck converters, boost converters and buck boost converters mentioned here.

Now go power something up!

0:12 Make Your Own 15.6" Full HD Screen for 32 bucks for use with Raspberry Pi, DSLR, Video camera

Make Your Own 15.6" Full HD Screen for 32 bucks for use with Raspberry Pi, DSLR, Video camera

Alex shows you how to make your own 15.6" Full HD screen for about $32. Use with Raspberry Pi, DSLR, Video camera or any other computer. http://raspi.tv/?p=9447 We're repurposing a screen from a dead laptop.

Some people say "That's not full HD — it says 1280x800!" Well actually it IS a 1920 x 1080 LCD. At 4:48 you can see it's an LP156WF1. If you google the specs you'll see it's a 15.6" WLED full HD screen (which was one of the reasons I bought that laptop in the first place).

Here's a place that sells them (although they're out of stock)...
http://www.laptop-lcd-screen.co.uk/shop/LG-PHILIPS-LP156WF1-TLE2-15.6__28198.asp

So, then, why does it say 1280 x 800 on the video? It's simple. Even though this driver board is capable of running the screen at 1080p, I usually set up my Raspberry Pis to force that mode because it enlarges the text and icons on the screen. You can do this by putting...

# settings good for native 1280 x 800
hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080
hdmi_group=2 # HDMIPi for 1280 x 800
hdmi_drive=2 # for alternative modes get sound
hdmi_mode=28 # 1280 x 800 @ 60 Hz
...into the config.txt
