Are there any computers that don't cost much more than Raspberry Pi 3, but unlike it, CAN be used with an HDMI auto-switch?
The Raspberry Pi is an "always-on" computer, so auto-sensing doesn't work with it.
I don't know if that is also the case with alternatives such as Orange Pi or Odroid C2.
And what if I powered the Raspberry Pi from a powered USB hub instead of directly from the wall, would that make a difference???
Thank you

I'm a totally newbie and interested in physical programming like raspberry pi's. Is there any way to get the data which is intended to go to a "USB to TTL converter device" through USB(e.g. the output of a flashing software), read it and convert it to TTL using Python or C language? I mean something like:
Compiler --> avrdude --> Ethernet port of the compiler host PC --> Ethernet port of a Raspberry Pi --> Pins of the Raspberry Pi --> avr microcontroller
My question is about the code which I should run on the Raspberry Pi to do all the work required on that side. I'm guessing in this specific example it's possible to install avrdude on the Raspberry Pi and pipe the compiled code from the PC to the avrdude on the pi but I'm looking for a general solution that can be used with all microcontrollers, essentially turning the Raspberry Pi into a transparent, Ethernet connected, USB to TTL converter, either existing libraries or directions to how to write such code and where to read the documentations.
Edit1: There's a C language library called pigpio already installed on the Raspberry Pi OS and it can output UART. But I don't know how to read the USB data coming to the Raspberry Pi through its Ethernet port and convert it to UART data.
Edit2: I Changed USB port to Ethernet port since you can't connect two computers directly through USB. The data coming from the PC is still intended for USB to TTL converters since that's how avrdude and similar softwares are written(I guess it'll be "USB over Ethernet").

Running Raspbian OS
Recently I bought a Hyperpixel 2.1 round, which uses all of the GPIO ports. Whenever I plug the Raspberry Pi into my network switch, it is unable to connect to the network with the Hyperpixel attached. However, when I removed the Hyperpixel, the Ethernet capability came back.
I'm fairly sure it's a software issue given that there shouldn't be any problems with running all gpio pins in addition to Ethernet.
Is this a quirk with the Raspberry Pi that it doesn't like having all GPIO ports occupied as well as Ethernet? And how would I potentially go about fixing this, perhaps through command line or in the boot config?
I've worked a tad with IOT on Raspberry pi before, but as a student I ran into a problem and was hoping someone could answer my question. So I need to run Windows IOT Core on the Raspberry Pi 3 (if it was up to me I'd use raspbian or some other flavor of linux, but it's not up to me) and I need to run it at a school who's network I don't have access to. Is there any way of running IOT on raspberry Pi without an internet connection. I had read somewhere that I could buy a router (and even though there was no internet connected to it) I could run ethernet from the router to my laptop and another from the router to the raspberry pi and ssh into the pi from my laptop. Is this true? and how would I go about ssh-ing into the pi? OR is there a better/alternative solution to running IOT with no internet?
You can directly connect Raspberry Pi to your laptop with the network cable. Then the Raspberry Pi will get an IP address. With this IP address, you can either debug app with Visual Studio or connect to the Raspberry Pi via SSH. There are some tools like IoT Dashboard or Device Portal you may need.
For more information about connecting Windows 10 IoT Core, you can reference Windows 10 IoT documentation->Connect your device.
I bought a raspberry canakit for some pi experimentation. I have a DELL computer screen but does not have HDMI input but as a DVI input.
My canakit comes with a default HDMI cable and im currently unable to connect it to the monitor.
Can I use HDMI to DVI converter cable to connect my pi? Just want to make sure I dont break any of my pi hardware by using this cable.

I am able to send data from sensor to server using Raspberry Pi, but my aim is to find the devices (for example a sensor) connected to the Raspberry Pi using any language.
