**Comparison of Raspberry Pi, Orange Pi, and Banana Pi**

As a tech enthusiast, I recently had the opportunity to experiment with three single-board computers: the Raspberry Pi, Orange Pi, and Banana Pi. Each board has its own strengths and weaknesses, but which one is right for your next project?

**Hardware Comparison**

The Raspberry Pi is a popular choice among makers and developers, known for its ease of use and affordability. The Orange Pi and Banana Pi are two other options that have gained popularity in recent times.

* **RAM**: One gigabyte of RAM is used by the Raspberry Pi, while the Orange Pi uses DDR3 memory with a faster frequency.

* **GPIO Headers**: All three boards have 40-pin GPIO headers, allowing them to communicate with the outside world.

* **A20 Processor**: The A20 processor in the Banana Pi has built-in ABCs, making it more like an Arduino than the Raspberry Pi.

* **Power Supplies**: The Raspberry Pi uses a micro USB power supply without any switch or reset. The Orange Pi and Banana Pi use both micro USB and an AX P209 power management IC with power and reset switches.

**Networking**

The Raspberry Pi uses one IC for USB and Ethernet, which slows down the speed. In contrast, the Orange Pi and Banana Pi use a dedicated IC just for Ethernet, resulting in a gigabit port with great speed boost. This makes them ideal for server applications.

* **Wireless LAN**: The Orange Pi comes with wireless LAN capabilities, eliminating the need for an external USB wireless LAN stick.

* **Video Outputs**: All three boards have HDMI and B ports, but the Orange Pi also has VGA support.

**Camera Connector**

All three boards have a camera connector, but the Raspberry Pi uses an unused display connector. The Orange Pi and Banana Pi use a more standard LVDS connector that supports LCDs.

**Power Consumption**

The Raspberry Pi draws 211 milliamps of power when doing nothing. The Banana Pi draws slightly more with 220 milliamps, while the Orange Pi is hungry with 310 milliamps.

**Software and Community**

The Raspberry Pi has an A+ rating from enthusiasts, but its software support is extensive. The Banana Pi also improved its forum and overall support. Unfortunately, the Orange Pi's wiki is quite similar to the Banana Pi's wiki, and it lacks proper content.

**Conclusion**

Each board has its own pros and cons, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution for every project. Ultimately, the choice of board depends on your specific needs and preferences. In my opinion, I would recommend using a Raspberry Pi or Banana Pi for the Matrix part 3 video. But what do you think? Which board should you use for your next project?

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwith the newly released Raspberry Pi 2 I can finally control my LED matrix through gladiator with a great frame rate the old raspberry Pi B+ on the other hands did not have enough horsepower to do the job well at least not enough power to run the program perfectly smooth but there are also other powerful single board computers out there which can handle this task without a problem like the banana pro which is an enhancement of the banana Pi which I presented you in a previous verses video or the orange Pi which is a completely new Challenger from China and yes I know the names become more and more ridiculous nevertheless let's find out which of those three boards has the best price performance ratio and which one you should get for your project I think it is easy to see that the Raspberry Pi 2 is the smallest of those three boards the banana is just a tiny bit bigger and the orange is actually quite huge in comparison the quality of the raspberry and banana board is in one word flawless there is nothing to criticize but the orange on the other hand just looks a bit dirty and rough around the edges the best thing are the parts around the HDMI connector looks like somebody used to flamethrower to reflow them I thought this is an exception but somebody on the forum has the same problem so I think that is normal weird the heart or system-on-a-chip of the Raspberry Pi 2 is a PCM 2 8 3 6 the CPU speed is 4 times 900 megahertz which sounds better than the 2 times 1 gigahertz of the a20 SOC which the orange and banana both use the small performance test from Rosco TV shows the advantages of the Raspberry Pi 2 pretty good with one threats they are about the same but with more and more tasks the BCM 2 836 is clear winner but what about the GPU the mali-400 mp2 of the banana and orange is according to benchmarks as powerful as the video called for of the raspberry there isn't a big difference all three use one gigabyte of ram while the raspberry uses LP DD to the other to use ddr3 memory which has a faster frequency they all have 40 pins as GPIO headers in one way or another this way they can talk with the outside world the a20 even has a small advantage because they have built-in ABCs which makes them more like an Arduino than the Raspberry Pi all of them have use P ports obviously but I think that four ports are mandatory nowadays I hope everyone agrees on that the raspberry solved this issue with the land 951 for USB hub plus Ethernet I see the orange as well with the help of a efi 1.1 si si but surprise I tried using them with the official operating system from the developers and two of them won't work that is a definite fail and the banana has only two or three if you want to count the USB on-the-go port which the orange can also offer next is the networking like I just said the raspberry uses one IC for USB and Ethernet which slows down the speed quite a bit the other two use a dedicated IC just for the ethernet which results in a gigabit port which offers a great speed boost in comparison they would be a much better server but not only that they also throw in wireless LAN which is amazing this way I don't need to spend ten bucks on a small USB wireless LAN stick like this then we got some usual video outputs like HDMI and a B out which every one of those three have but the orange also froze in a VGA port which is great for all the old school analog video lovers I guess it works with the Android image out of the box but I headed to a little modification to get raspy and running oh and Android is only supported for the banana and orange for now next is the connector for the camera which all three own and of course this still unused display connector of the raspberry the orange and banana have a more standard LVDS connector which supports the LCDs that for example the makeup producers don't get me wrong the raspberry can already use those GPIO LCDs but they are just not practical I like this flexible ribbon cable much more because I can position my screen any way I want and even though this LCD is made by Lea maker it also works with the orange pi at the end we have the micro USB of the raspberry which powers the board no switch no nothing the orange and banana also use micro USB inputs but they also use an ax P 209 power management IC which allows them to add power and reset switches and it also allows them to do something really fantastic at least for the orange you can actually hook up a three point seven volt lithium ion battery and use it as your power source but not only that if you hook up five volt power while using the battery it will actually get charged yes there is a battery control circuit inside that makes the orange perfect for portable applications speaking of power the raspberry draws 211 milliamps the banana a tiny bit more with 220 milli amps and the orange is hungry with three hundred and ten milliamps while doing no particular task other features of the two a twenty boards or the SATA port to connect hard drives an IR receiver to use remotes and microphone which can for example visualize my handclaps on the matrix that was the hardware but the software and community is also super important nowadays I think I don't have to say much about the raspberry everything there is an A+ the banana and the maker also made huge improvements with the forum and overall support it is pretty good and the orange oh the orange the wiki is pretty much a copy-paste of the banana wiki and here they also use a picture of a banana pie I don't want to be mean but for now it is quite horrible but I hope it will change because every board has its pros and cons the Raspberry Pi 2 might be the cheapest with 35 bucks but the other two were 50 and $55 definitely have the right to exist one solution is not the best for every problem with that being said tell me what you think in the comments and what board should I use for the matrix part 3 video as always thanks for watching I would be really happy if you subscribe don't forget to share and like this video stay creative and I will see you next timewith the newly released
