Got this $9 computer called "Chip" yesterday. So got this video of me opening it and 1ST time running it. I had a bad USB power cable for it and had to use a powered USB hub. Later I just used the USB Hub to power it too that works. Lots of info can see about it at the home web page it's set to on the Chip unit. docs.getchip.com I put a USB to Ethernet on it and it works. Has blue tooth and WiFi too. I only got the built in video to it. "composite video resolution of 640x480" I had to hook it up to a old CRT TV. Want to set it up as a small slow server any way so don't need the video. I just today hooked a RS232 on it. That works good.
Cut out a lot to this video to try and make it shorter. It's about 15 minutes now.
Just need to use a powered USB HUB I found out. It only has 1 USB port. Use a Good USB cable to power it too.
