Orange Pi PC -- a $15 alternative to RPi 2? So far, so good

I brushed the dust off of my oPi and installed the latest Armbian release (5.10) and after a bit of a fight with the wifi (I think the dongle was bad), I’ve been running quite successfully for almost 5 days. Loads and heat seem decent and is easily handles jprochazka’s setup script with remote mySQL feeds.

It seems the Armbian releases are much better suited than the original Lorbis. If you experimented early with the oPi and had issues, give this release a try, alternatively, you can just give me your oPi!! :slight_smile:
