Raspberry pico - Pepe - 2023-09-24
Hi
Can I charge Tinypilot on a Raspberry pico?
RE: Raspberry pico - kirren - 2023-09-25
I assume you're asking because it's cheaper? The raspberry pi pico isn't like the other raspberry pi single board computers. It's a low power microcontroller board, more like an Arduino. For a variety of reasons, including that it doesn't run an operating system, you can't use it for pypilot.
The easiest targets are a tinypilot on raspberry pi zero w hardware or openplotter on raspberry pi 4 hardware, though you can install pypilot on other platforms if you're sufficiently technical and want something more bespoke.

Thank you kirren for your response. Obviously Rasberry pi pico is very cheap, It has just the connectors that tiny pilot needs and no SD card needed, but if it doesn't work I will take another alternative.
