@kennard42, I read a review of it that was pretty bad.

It has met its funding goal. Hopefully they can deliver as it looks promising for robotics. I like the built in arduino capability along with it running windows 10. It could be a perfect fit for a small computer to run ARC with a few other options.

@David.... Wow... I am seriously considering one.... I didn't see specs about power consumption, however. Still, a robot with this, a usb (or wfi) EZb4 and ARC would rock.... This would be great with inMoov

I asked this before, but how difficult is it to VNC into something like this? I prefer headless robot systems... I have done it on Linux uBuntu, but I am unfamiliar on how to VNC from one Windows PC to another Windows PC...

It is easy. VNC can be used or a couple of other options. VNC isnt really that secure so there are a lot of companies that remove it from their environment. Its great for non business type things.

I just downloaded RealVNC... works great.... The personal version is free for up to 5 pc's... Now I am going to have another look at the panda

found this in their qa section

Creator Lattepanda 2 days ago @MP, thanks for your support and view about our project. I'm a robotics engineer also. I understand power consumption is quite important spec for quadcopter and mobile robots.

1. As a mentioned in the earlier reply, the power consumption is about 0.8A when running Windows 10 default startup programs. It's relative to your cpu usage rate.
2. We integrate a battery connector on the back of the board. And LattePanda supports MicroUSB charging feature when the lipo battery capacity is lower than 4000mAh. For a longer term portable application. We suggest to use an external USB power supply with 2A output.
3. We tested Kinect with LattePanda and build an simple interactive project demo using Processing. The 3D modeling demo with quadcopter is connecting a rplidar laser scanner from DFRobot to LattePanda. If you're interested, please check the link below. http://www.dfrobot.com/index.php 4.Haha. Glad to hear that you've lots of questions. In my view, that means you have lots of ideas with our product. Hope you will share with us.

Creator Lattepanda 2 days ago @thelostswede, thanks for the chip solution recommendation! Our engineers will check it directly. Appreciate you help. And our teams' soul is trying our best to make things happen.

Creator Lattepanda 2 days ago @Jonathan Booker and Andy Greenhough, The power consumption is about 0.8A running with Windows default startup programs. It's about 1.3A @ 70% cpu usage when a USB keyboard and mouse are connected.

So I guess about an amp or so with ARC running (just guessing).... Not horrible but it is more than I expected considering the other options mentioned in this thread....

@David

Thanks for sharing, this does look very good to use on my Inmoov, I like the dual display/ HDMI ports options and that the enhanced version come with a 7" display.

Serviously thinking in pledging for one of these!

Chris.
