Hi everyone. Thinking of taking the plunge with an RP 4 and openplotter. I have a few months to tinker, learn, and get everything working before my sailing season begins (and I know that OP support for the RP 4 is evolving). I'm thinking that when it all shakes out, this is how I will run:
Openplotter headless, expect to have one or two wifi remote connections from phone or tablet at any one time
AIS via a USB dongle
GPS via USB dongle
pypilot via Sean's motor controller to my ST4000 wheel pilot, maybe with the Nokia display and IR remote control
The immediate decision I need to make is what RP 4 to get. I'm a cheapskate. Do I really need the 4 GB version, or is the 1 GB fine for headless use? Any thoughts?
