**Would it be possible to share how you built the mini PC?

We try to give feedback to the developers whenever we can by building the git and reporting. In a community project, everyone should do this. On a Pi, that just takes too long.

Other reasons for using a mini-PC is that they're faster, much cheaper than a Pi and you can have as many as you want. Tomorrow. We use Fujitsu q920s at the telescope. If you're any good at auctions, an 8Gb box with a decent SSD can be had for under €100.

Plug a dummy into the DP or dvi and you've a choice of screen resolutions; 1600 x 900 seems to be the sweet spot using x11vnc. Nothing special for the client. Your 'phone is fine, although a tablet or laptop makes things easier to see and manipulate.

OS. Lubuntu or if you prefer something more windows-like, kubuntu.
Cheers, clear skies and HTH
