Thanks! We think so too Smiley

To meet our timeline, they put it on a RPI for us.

In the future, the zencontroller will become a embedded device

Thanks for the information.

A quick tip for anyone who hasn't used a Raspberry Pi before: If you're going to connect one than one (Non-USB powered miner like the ones GAW is selling) to the Raspberry Pi; use a powered USB hub between the Pi and the miners. Although it should be ok without a hub; I've found it to be a lot more stable with a powered hub.

The Raspberry Pi's themselves are powered over USB, and due to this they can't put much juice out of the 2 USB ports (Pretty much 1/4 power of a normal USB port).

This is especially important if you're going to use one of the USB stick miners that draw all of their power from the USB port.
