Now why the hell would you say that ???
And, just in case, do not say "SPI is.... " as it is not.

You sticking up for the RPi now ?

Sorry to the OP for derailing the thread, but the Ethernet comment really needs to be addressed.

No, not at all, just for what is right.
Despite me not liking RPI i do understand why humans are obsessed with it, still, ethernet is much better than SPI, and the only option if the other board is 15CM or more far away from RPI.

+1

Actually the RPi5 seems to handle longer cables better than the RPi4. Only noticed when bench testing my Frankenstien boards.

Ethernet is definitely the go.

I'm loving hearing this, as I've never used RPI I was interested for two reasons, one because it's very compact and the other because it uses its compact and cheap touch screens, but I'm afraid I'll have difficulty as I've never touched one and I need a lot of help from you... In parallel to this subject in relation to 7i92H, how do you do in relation to the spindle since it doesn't have a 0-10v analog output?

There was another one....
Thing is those laptops are way more useful and cost less than RPI with touchscreen. But do not expect them to always work, i have several (had 30 or 50 or 100 !?!?!?) that worked perfectly, but you can bump into an utterly useless one.
The choice is yours, i am just making it harder!
