My pi 4 with about 50 MH devices hovers around 4% cpu. I do a lot of logging so use it with a very small ssd, Giles > On 25 Dec 2020, at 20:06, Brian M <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Echoing/amplifying Spencer (because I was writing the same answer but he finished his first) ... > > I've been running my not-insignificant MH installation on an Raspberry Pi (aka "RPi") for several years now, and it's done just fine there. Until recently I was running music playback software and a Samba server on the same Pi (an RPi 3B at the time), so MH on a it won't be overtaxing at all. I would recommend an RPi 4, and I like the basic kits from Canakit. I'm running mine under Raspberry OS, a Linux Debian derivative. If Linux is outside your interest/skillset, though, this option may not work for you. I hear the RPi 4 will run Windows, but have no experience there and of course that's an additional license. > > -Brian M. > > On 12/25/20 11:53 AM, Spencer Ryan wrote: >> I've used these startech extenders in various situations and they work well enough for their usecase: >> >> https://www.startech.com/en-us/cards-adapters/usb2001extv >> >> However given the cost, why not just buy a Raspberry Pi 3/4 and put that with the PLM? It's got wifi, or you can use your current CAT5 to get it wired network. It also has the benefit of very little power consumption. >> >> On Fri, Dec 25, 2020 at 2:44 PM Bruce Schaeffer <[email protected]> wrote: >>> I need a recommendation to be able to extend USB over CAT5. >>> >>> My installation has the computer in one room (finished basement) and the PowerLinc (currently 2413S) in the next (unfinished basement).
