In this video we are comparing the Banana Pi Vs Raspberry Pi 2. If you’re considering at getting either of these devices, then hopefully this video will help clear things up.
Full Guide: pimylifeup.com/banana-pi-vs-raspberry-pi-2
Both the devices we look at in this video are known as microcomputer boards. These are small computer boards that have pretty much everything a normal computer would.
I will briefly summarize the Banana Pi Vs Raspberry Pi video below. If you want to see my full insights, then head over to the website through the link above.
The Banana Pi 2 offers a much larger range of hardware features with additions such as on board WiFi, on board mic, IR sensor and much more. The Raspberry Pi 2 still boasts some pretty good hardware but lacks in a few areas such as Ethernet speed, USB ports and a few and a few other things.
The software for both the Raspberry Pi and Banana Pi (bpi m2) is pretty much the same. They offer very similar operating systems and will run basically the same things. However, I did find that the bpi m2 lacked the support the Raspberry Pi currently has.
Again the projects that you can do with either device is pretty much the same. You can do some pretty cool stuff as you have already seen done on this channel.
If you’re looking at the prices the banana pi sits at about $50 USD whilst the Raspberry will set, you back about $35 USD. These only include the board so you will need to remember that you still need to buy a power supple and micro SD card before you can get started.

![Getting Started with Raspberry Pi Cayenne [Archived]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pm4VbLasx7M/mqdefault.jpg "Getting Started with Raspberry Pi Cayenne [Archived]
In this video I go through the process of setting up Raspberry Pi cayenne. This is a software package for the Pi that helps you create IoT projects fast thanks to an easy to use drag & drop interface. I also go through the steps of setting up a temperature sensor and an LED.
Full Tutorial: https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-cayenne/
Installing MyDevices cayenne is a relatively straightforward process. All you need to do is make sure you have Raspbian installed and then sign up for an account at their website. Once signed up you can install it via the app or by copying a couple of command lines into the terminal for your Pi.
Adding sensors is also just as easy as installing the software. The hardest part will be connecting up the devices to the Pi correctly. For this I recommend looking at the tutorials that covers sensors, input & output devices. I have covered a few on my channel that you should take a look at if you’re interested.
Triggers & events within cayenne are a way you can have your Pi react to certain situations. In the video I show an example of sending an email and turning an LED on whenever my temperature sensor got to a certain temperature.
If you’re not a coder, then this will probably interest you as it is pretty much drag and drop as I mentioned above. You can create some amazing projects from using if then statements. On top of this time based events will allow you to have your Pi perform certain tasks at specific times. I really do just scrape on the basics in this video and will be looking at doing more projects in the very near future.
I hope this video has been able to help you with getting started with Raspberry pi cayenne. If you come across any issues, have feedback or anything else then please feel free to drop a comment below or over at pimylifeup.com")
