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)
