Bill Of Materials / Hardware Assumptions

This is a surprisingly straight forward project that has minimal in the way of hardware requirements. Below you'll find a list of everything we recommend / assume.

  • Raspberry Pi 4 with at least 2Gb of RAM
    • An equivalent board with at least 2Gb of RAM capable of running Arch Linux can be used instead but we do not support anythin but the Raspberry Pi 4 at this time
  • HDMI Monitor
    • This 1440x2560 (2k) display looks promising and is being tested currently
  • Mini HDMI to HDMI adapter
  • HDMI cable
  • usb disk (thumb drive / ssd) for storing pictures
    • This is optional but will help prevent micro sd card wear if regularly changing photos or running backups
  • 2x micro sd cards (one for prep, one for install)
    • At least 8Gb in size, 16Gb preferred
  • Power supply (at least 3A to avoid voltage issues)
