I know that TinyPilot hardware is a Raspberry Pi zero W and an Arduino Nano. However I have a 1st Generation Raspberry Pi Model B and an Arduino Uno in my box of bits. Can I save some money and try the system out with these parts or am I going to run into lots of problems?

also future pypilot may be able to utilize significantly more processing power, i'm not sure even a pi 3 is enough

Hi,
the to asked for hardware for tinypilot.
Will tinypilot grow up in the future so that a raspberry pi zero will not be enough?
Are there differences in function between pypilot and tinypilot?
Regards
Andreas

The ifconfig message relates to the network (=wi-fi) setup; you can follow the boot sequence in /opt/bootlocal.sh. If you see pypilot processes, chances are it's running all right. The browser interface might be at :8080; if not try :8000. You can see open ports with netstat -anlt.
If you have 23322 open, you can connect to it with an opencpn plugin; just type the ip address of the tinypilot in the host box under config.

You cannot use a regular ethernet cable between the PC and the pi; you'd need two cables to connect them both to a common ethernet router. Then type ifconfig on the tinypilot to see if you get an address.
I just installed a tinypilot myself: the browser interface should be at port 80. The latest tinypilot image I downloaded from pypilot.org has an old version of pypilot that most probably won't connect to your opencpn. I'll upload a new version of my document in the pypilot for dummies thread which might give you some handles.
