Note that the I2C 1 bus SDA and SCL pins do not reside on pins 3 and 5 like a Raspberry Pi, and so far despite there being multiple active buses (0, 1, 3, 4 and 7), I've been unable to get __any__ I2C device to show up using i2cdetect. Therefore, until there is some resolution of this issue, the Orange Pi is not considered suitable for robotics use. While it is a higher performance board than the [Raspberry Pi 4], it also runs very hot, with a power consumption of over 4 watts, whereas the Raspberry Pi 4 is rated 2.85w, the Pi 3 B+ at 2.5w.

Therefore, until there is some resolution of this issue, the Orange Pi is not considered suitable for robotics use. While it is a higher performance board than the [Raspberry Pi 4], it also runs very hot, with a power consumption of over 4 watts when fully loaded, whereas the Raspberry Pi 4 is rated 2.85w, the Pi 3 B+ at 2.5w. Testing on various websites indicates its actual power usage is probably closer to the Pi 4 when not using the neural processor of the Orange Pi 4B.
