I reckon the test will be plate solving.

Paul,


I can see advantages with running INDI on Raspberry Pi 4
  • more memory,2 or 4GB, should allow better viewing of downloads
  • faster USB, even with USB2 devices should allow shorter download times
  • faster CPU could speed up plate solving
I run Raspbian, and it is available now, but the 2 and 4GB versions are all on backorder and I also need to upgrade my power supplies to allow for 3 amp maximum power draw.


Nevertheless, it is always nice to have a faster computer.


Paul
