That’s what I suspected - it would almost be too good to be true if it was plug’n play.
I’ll check it out tomorrow or as soon as I get my new Pi.

Superb review showing the massive differences between the rpi3b+ and the new 4b....and there is a very big difference

The Pi3b ran with around half an amp (but could draw more if it is running other devices). Does this Pi really draw about 3 amps or more? Or is that just what it needs for the devices? That could be a big drawback for imaging in the field.

I guess it´s the 2xUSB 3.0 ports. Each one must be able to supply 900mA

yes, but do they constantly draw that power, or is it just if you have devices plugged into them?

they won’t draw power with nothing plugged into them...that is t how it works, but I use a 12v to 5v 4 amp converter so no worries here, mind you I have monitored my rpi3b+ with all ports used and it’s never drawn more than 1.5 amps, but I have all power Hungary devices plugged into a powered hub, namely my Pegasus UPB..
With my SX USB 2.0 CCD Cameras I have no use for USB 3.0, ATM anyway.. :)

Very, VERY interested in learning if and how well Stellarmate OS and Kstars/Ekos runs with the new PI 4. This is exactly the upgrade I've been waiting for - REALLY hope SM OS plays well with it. Also would be HUGE if we could now run Ekos smoothly on the PI instead of remotely - man would that be great!

...Eagerly awaiting news and reviews!

I have been waiting for this upgrade for so long. But I'm still leaning towards the more powerful, yet pricier Odroid-N2. Decisions, decisions.

Looks like all the US distributors are out of stock on the 4GB version for at least a month. That being said, the RPi3 only had 1GB of RAM and still ran Ekos. The 2GB version should be sufficient for Stellarmate...

RPI3 runs Ekos+PHD2 just fine. Only platesolving takes some time, especially with long focal length telescopes.

In the near future Jasem does this mean:

a) new StellarMate's will be based on the Pi4 in the near future
OR
b) I can buy a Pi4 and then buy the StellarMate firmware for it

Thanks, Craig
