Hi, what are the RAM and CPU recommended requirements for astroarch :

  • Raspberry PI 5 or Computer Module 5 ?
  • How much RAM ?
  • Do I also need an active cooler ?

Thanks,

SebM.

Hi,

AstroArch works very well on a PI 4 or 5. I think this should also be the case with a computer module 5 and its extensions. The more memory you have, the better. I have PI 5 with 8G, they are perfect. The cooler is important if your Pi is in a case and it's hot outside. The CPU quickly heats up in these conditions if you use resource-intensive software such as Firecapture, for example.
