yeah ill defo look at networking before I try doing this. Ill have to get used to linux too. Not my favourite os by far but better for this sort of thing from what I can gather.
oh ok. Told you I wasn't the best with networking lol. I assume that keeps all the data passing between the raspberry's from being sent over the full network and acts kind of like the old lan gaming (flight sim ftw) connecting 2 computers together?
yeah the power kind of sucks on them but its a little challenge to see how I can build a bigger one over time. money constraints etc.
Will I bottleneck my network btw? Ive already got 5 -6 home computers connected to a wifi. Id be buying a new router to do this so id have two routers in the house. I assume because the raspberry pi's are only using the local network they won't slow down computers that are trying to connect to the internet?
