DietPi Buster + Raspberry Pi 4 works well! #991
Comments
This is good to know. Im about to embark on a project involving 6 x 64x64 panels using a pi 4 and the Electrodragon HAT. I calculated here (#989) that I would need a max of 200w. I noticed that you got a 10a supply for yours, was that enough? |
When all the RGB LED pixels are on, max power might be needed. |
Thanks @raspberry-pi-maker I was about to ask @hzeller if there was any benefit to using an rPi4 over a 3? |
@marcmerlin I actually found that the pi4 was cheaper than the pi3 thats why I chose it. Plus the extra power lets me run more complex code or run in a higher level language or something. |
Yes, the faster internal processing makes a Pi4 more desirable than a Pi3 even if the clock to the matrix is at their limit. |
I agree with @hzeller . |
When I used Rasbian Buster with Rpi4 issue #483 occcurs. I have to use an old Rasbian Jessie. But the Rpi 4 doesn't support Jessie. As a result, I have to use Rpi 3 instead of 4.
Yesterday, I tested DietPi Buster with Rpi 4. The RGB LED matrices display is good. No flickering.
I've write the test process in my blog (https://iot-for-maker.blogspot.com/2020/02/led-5-raspberry-pi-4-dietpi-buster.html). I hope this can help you who want to use Rpi 4.
