RP3 possible

Post by PE5PVB » Tue Oct 18, 2022 9:52 am

Hi,

When I don't want to have the Pi to show the streams, so only use a external PC to show the streams, is it by any change possible to use a Pi3? Unfortunatly the Pi4 is not available for a longer time.

I haven't tried, but you would only be able to have two receivers. Each PIC talks to an extended SPI port on the RPi, but only the RPi4 has more than one extended SPI port.

Ah. That is what I needed to know. Hopefully the Raspberry Pi 4 will be available soon...
