Telraam on Pi Zero W ? #17

Closed mxagat closed 3 years ago

mxagat commented 4 years ago

Dear Telraam team,

Would Telraam work fine on Pi zero W, with the standard (or IR) Pi camera ? It is quite cheaper than the Pi3 while having 512 RAM.

Cheers

Hello,

Thanks for your question!

We did not test this ourselves, but we think the Pi zero W does not have enough cpu power to work at acceptable framerates.

Cheers

Thanks for the reply. It makes sense. I'll give it a try just for sport and see how it goes (erroneous count ? Lag ? crash ?) Anyways, thank you for this exciting citizen science project.

I've just put a Telraam together using a pi zero, and it (seems) to be working. I'm getting some numbers in the telraam website, but I don't know how accurate they are at this stage. Maybe next weekend I'll try manually counting for a few hours to see how well the data reflects reality.

Any updates on running this on a RPi Zero? I am curious of the steps you took to install the software and if they were typical? Thank you.

@harleyday Would you be able to set out the steps that you followed to get a Pi Zero W working? I am trying and failing!
