Our open source code can run on any ARM or x86 Linux device with sufficient computing power. We recommend computing power of at least a Raspberry Pi 4 or better. Any computing platform used should at least support USB 2.0, have 4+ cores and be capable of running a Debian Linux distribution like Ubuntu. Due to the ubiquity of Raspberry Pi 4 devices we provide ready to use images for this platform. For all other platforms the code will need to be manually installed. Any 2GB or larger Pi 4 model will work, however we recommend trying to obtain the [newer model Pi 4's that can turbo to 1.8 GHz](https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/bullseye-bonus-1-8ghz-raspberry-pi-4/). We also recommend obtaining an aftermarket fan cooling solution for the Pi 4 as if the CPU throttles significantly due to overheating the code may run slowly and lag. The newer model Pi 4's almost never throttle even without cooling, but older ones tend to throttle much easier. Optionally we also suggest overclocking them to 2 GHz or higher for best performance as long as you have sufficient cooling in place. |
