Hi,
I'd like to follow up on Max's question.
I have seen projects like iAstrohub and tinyastro that are based on TV sticks. These solutions are complete in a sense that all computing is done on a single device only. A tablet, for example, is used to connect to the stick via remote control.
What I like about iAstrohub, for example, is that I only need to turn on my computer or tablet for configuration or control and have the stick do everything else. Most of the time only the stick is running which reduces the need for external power in the field a lot. From my understanding tinyastro does something similar but using Kstars and Ekos (see
www.cloudynights.com/topic/463828-tinyas...pc-astrophotography/).
I learned that the earlier Pi's were used as kind of an interface at the telescope connecting all the pieces together and provide communication to a PC. However, communication between the Pi as Indi server to Kstars as client had to be active all the time. In a way the pi was not not an autonomus unit.
Is my understanding correct?
If so, do you think that the ODroid-C1 (or any similar unit) would be powerful enough to host the complete Ekos-Indi system? This way I could again use a tablet or PC only at times where needed and else have it turned off to save power.
Thanks for your help!
