List of 81 Sub-$200 Linux-Friendly SBCs @HackerBoards #Linux
Hacker Boards have a current list of 81 single-board computers that are all designed or optimized to run flavors of Linux (specifically Android in many cases). In addition to the list they’re also asking readers to rank their favorites – and by voting you may win one of several free SBCs they’re giving away. Some boards you may recognize – Raspberry Pi Zero and Intel Edison Kit for Arduino, for example – and many you may not, but they’re all capable boards that prove the versatility of Linux.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
