@Danal Yes, there are price differences there. But if you compare the Nano to a NUC or something more than an ARM Cortex, you will have a larger price difference in the opposite direction. And a NUC would not as an example bring any FLOPS to the table - neither would the Raspi. The question is if a GPU would make a whole lot of difference in relation to the general "wait times" of the machine itself, and how big a part of the cake relates to the camera and lighting setup. But I guess it is a discussion already started elsewhere, and not typically right for the Duet forum 🙂 (I know there is at least one individual thas has mentioned he is looking into the Duet/Jetson/OpenPNP combo as of Q4 2019).
But this is definetly an area I want to learn more. What remains unclear for me is the potential in the RPI GPIO ports of the Duet 3. But I have one in my shop as we speak, so I will look into it at some point. It looks like it has its future staked out as a part time tinkering board in regards to the GPIO-port and part time CNC controller for my custom OX^2 Metal.
@dc42 I sent you a PM regarding the Duet 2 🙂 It would be a great start to the PNP project, thank you.
