So I heard you liked USB... (5 new CM4 boards)

8 USB 3 ports?! Whatever will I do with them? Maybe I'll make a completely impractical 8-flash-drive RAID 0 array and benchmark it.

What's your favorite board? Also, Seeed Studios (no affiliation) still has one model of CM4 still available for sale, FYI.

That PiGear NANO might solve a problem using the Pi in astrophotography gear. There never seem to be enough USB 3 ports for all the fiddly bits (focusers, cameras, mounts) and cooled astro cameras are heavy power eaters. 2.0 ports just don't win when your single image size is > 40M. I am using the WaveShare board for my CM4 astronomy setup for the simple reason that it has 4 well-powered USB 3 ports. A board with ports AND fast storage would be most excellent.

Also, lots of folks (including myself) have used the Pi HQ camera for astro-photography. There is even an INDI driver for it that works reasonably well. It is "OK" for planetary and wide field, but not amazing...though it does work.

Great channel, by the way. I enjoy your process and humor.

i never knew this small a formfactor had such a buzzing hardware scene -- haven't felt this excited about hardware in at least 7 years

The Pi boards, and the CM4 in particular, seem to have become to computing in the 2020s what the Apple ][ was in the 1970s; a starting point for all sorts of inspired devices.

If we are attaching PIs to telescopes let's not forget some stepper motors!

Didn't expect to see Krówka here 😂 brings back childhood memories!

Jeff Winfrey is my favourite talk show. You get a flash drive! You get a flash drive! You get a flash drive!

[OARomanov]

Well, the idea to have 2nd channel is great. But i suppose all the engineering content will perfectly fit in this channel (imho of course).

Great stuff, Jeff! Thank you very much for everything you do! Stay safe and greetings from Siberia!

[locnar]

toasty... that's a deep cut. Well done my friend.

[danielriossuarez]

Looking forward to geerling engineering!

[ReneKnuversrk]

Thanks for the video. Ordered the uugear-board which turns out to be from a Dutch company, so native for me!

[Kenajcrap]

Hi Jeff, what a great video! It's a shame that CM4 boards have gotten so expensive recently. Any chance we get a roundup of cool expansions for the original RPI4?

[beexpressplumbing]

It's pretty amazing that I love this channel while only understanding about 20% of what's

[RaidOwl]

Bummer on the PoE not working with the Router Board, but I still have an extra CM4 sitting here that I'd like to throw in one of them. Thanks for the vid!

[jakubbadyga]

best regards from Poland :)
appreciate Your work!

[JeromeDemers]

my favorite board is the one that gives candies! That is why I love my Prusa!

[joshuacahill]

The entire Raspberry Pi market should pay you for marketing. You should try to get into drop shipping Pi expansion boards. Seriously, every one that I am interested in I can't google up... Oh Geerling did another video on expansion boards... GEERLING!!!! I look forward to that 5x SATA board video.

[venjsystems]

Great roundup of parts, enjoyed this vid thoroughly

You have my sub man ! I like your way of making Videos and your sympathic character.
