Hey folks! I just got the brand new Raspberry Pi-400 the other day. I decided to give OpenPlotter a go, and the pre-built image didn't work. It initially booted, but died once it got to the desktop. I did the 'Advanced' method of installation. So booting it normally and completing the initial install, updating and downloading prerequisites, then installing "openplotter-settings_2.6.2-stable_all.deb" from GitHub. All of the installs went smoothly from there. This method is clearly explained on the install page, so nothing novel here.
The Pi-400 is a great form factor. I've tested a Pi-3 headless, with the 7" touchscreen, and an Ubuntu mini-PC, but I think this will be the winner. This has the Pi built right into the keyboard. I've had to drag a keyboard and monitor down to the boat to troubleshoot the others, now this is all in a neat package. And these new Pi 4's are smoking fast!!
Following seas,
