  1GB Raspberry Pi 5

  But why? It’s a shame to pair the actually pretty damn good hardware of the Pi 5 with that little (non upgradeable) ram. It’s future landfill fodder. The 1/2gb Pi 4 is better for that low price point.

    Yeah and it uses more wattage than the 4.

      Why not get an actual micro controller if you want a micro controller? That’s what the pico line is for.

  I have never seen a rpi5 available in my life I thought it was just a gaslight.
