Hi all, i have two devices.

My main device is an Asus Tinker Board (www.asus.com/au/Single-Board-Computer/Tinker-Board/).

My my back up is an Intel Compute Stick (www.intel.com.au/content/www/au/en/produ...tick/stk1aw32sc.html), only because the USB and Wifi is less reliable than the Tinker Board.

Both devices are setup in hot spot mode (I'm a mobile imager).

Cameras and GPS connect via a 12VDC powered USB3 hub and the mount via Wifi.

I VNC with my tablet/laptop.

Hey!

Are you using the Rock64 or the Rock64Pro? It looks like a good alternative. :-)

Greetings,
Dominik

Apologies for the delayed response ...

My dark sites are at campgrounds and I take my camping trailer and either get power at my site, or I use my generator inverter and use that to power my trailer and all the astrophotography gear.

I am building a power box and on EBAY I purchased a couple of 12v to 5v converters used in cars (presumably for USB). The ones I have supply upto 3amps. I've attached a picture of it.

I'm using the Rock64. I very happy with it - I can download and save a 32mb image in seconds, and start the next capture. It's been very stable. I haven't used it in warm weather and I suspect I need to add some cooling other than the passive heat sink, and I can verify it works down to -25 C with no issues.
