Celerron N2807 or J1900

Clive, My J1900 has 2 USB2 and 1 USB3.
So the USB3 goes to the monitor for touchscreen and it has a built in 3 port hub.
I use a Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo so it uses one USB2 leaving one for the Wifi Dongle. Its kinda handy having wireless as you can move the keyboard and mouse right out of the road..
The N3160 has an extra USB port from memory..

Thanks Rod but the trouble is that there are variations like this one www.gigabyte.com/uk/Mini-PcBarebone/GB-BACE-3160-rev-10/sp#sp

but this is a j3160

edit: but I have now found this www.scan.co.uk/products/gigabyte-brix-bx...7xEUFUBoCHZwQAvD_BwE

Which has 3 usb

Clive, pretty sure this is the N3160 unit I have www.gigabyte.com/uk/Mini-PcBarebone/GB-BACE-3160-rev-10#ov
I actually bought it and got it going then found a cheap J1900 in the same form factor which is the one I am using on the spaceship despite it having 1 less USB.

The wireless keyboard and mouse sets I use are only cheap about $20 or so. Had a key sticking a couple of days ago but removed it and cleaned it out and its fine again.

EDIT: That J1900 seems to be the one I have.

Yes I have it ordered and it will be here tomorrow

Clive, if you have latency issues let me know and I'll take some pics of the BIOS settings I am using. Need to be set to C1 from memory. Look for that anyway. So long ago.

These are a couple of J1850's another Linuxcnc user found for me. Used with 4 Gb RAM for AUD $70 each



They have a Baytrail Chip which is very problematic with Linux. I could not get them to boot until he shared BIOS settings and then one of them needed the battery removing first. With Stretch, the latency now is quite good and the inbuilt wifi works fine. I tried compiling the PREMPT_RT kernel on Linux Mint based on BigJohn's instructions and it won't boot. I did see somewhere that there might be another compiler flag that should have been set.

I've seen these on Aliexpress so it would be nice to try a J1900 version to see if the wifi is still good!

Update

The Gigabyte Brix BXBT-1900 Barebone Mini PC Kit, Intel Celeron Quad Core, DDR3L, HDMI/VGA, WiFi/BT, 2.5" SATA II, VESAversion .
I could not get it to run Linux. I have even tested it with a known good ssd with linuxcnc 2.7 on, that will boot up fine on several other PC's I have.

Looking at the Brix website it seems to only do Windows www.gigabyte.com/uk/Mini-PcBarebone/GB-B...rt#support-dl-driver
