PHD2 on Raspberry Pi 4 Requirements

[pstra...@gmail.com]

The  latest Raspberry Pi comes with 2, 4 or 8 GB.  I plan to get the 4 for an unrelated project, but will install PHD2 on it and guide my Meade LX85 with it  to  improve my software skills.  Am plowing thought the excellent PHD2 documentation on Linux, but can't find memory requirements.  I see some are using the 8 GB device.  Is this a requirement? I would prefer the 4 GB. Any clues greatly appreciated.

I guess I should add, to make it a good project, I would probably use the Raspberry Pi to guide and image. Does that push the memory requirement up?

Hello Pieter,

I have been using PHD2 on a Raspberry Pi 4 4GB for a couple of months and have had no problems with RAM.

I use the Astroberry package, which also contains KStars and EKOS and run all my equipment directly attached to the Pi (NEQ6 Pro, ZWO ASI 224MC for guiding and Nikon D5300 for acquisition).

Hope this helps,

Matteo
