   Why a compute module especially?   
   Wouldn't e.g. a Pi4 be just as good?   
      
   But once again, these are 'hobbyist' choices. Sometimes I like to spend   
   money rather than time and buy really solid solutions.   
      
   In fact my motto is 'dont build what you can buy'.   
   My custom hardware solutions exist because they cannot be bought   
   satisfactorally.
