![]() Then, just as you discover you need more computing power, you learn you need more battery power. But today, even inexpensive cameras can be significantly data intensive as the price of megapixels tumbles. You can succeed with low budget Compute Sticks if your camera isn't demanding. My advice, you need to look holistically at your final destination or risk a lot of costly mistakes as your rig progressively evolves. I have a lot of experience of this challenge, having progressed from a simple low budget DSLR system to a end to end 4K UHD EAA system. but the core compute stick bit is all the same. It’s a bit out of date since I’ve made a few tweaks upgrades and additions. I think I have exactly the m3 stick you’re looking at.Įdit: just found an old post with all the details. If you search my old posts I’ve outlined exactly the items I have and what I’ve been doing with them. But you can’t run them off a regular L Ion battery since they tend not to have a mobile chipset. ![]() The Nuc form factor machines are also good, though much bigger, they are cheaper. It’s not the cheapest, but there’s nothing smaller that I know of that can do the same. The compute stick is a really great compact solution. It also runs off a usb c power so I can use a standard lithium ion battery pack in the field if I want and be completely wireless there too. 4K is nice for detail on a wide field, but most of the time I’m zooming in anyway. If you crank up the resolution to the almost 4k native iPad screen resolution it’s a bit sluggish but still usable. So long as the WiFi reception is good the response is pretty much instant. I can walk around anywhere inside and outside my house and have full viewing and control from the iPad since rdp runs across the main WiFi. I then rdp into it from my iPad Pro which makes it a great wireless experience running sharpcap, motor focus and the mount wirelessly from my iPad. I have my compute stick headless at the scope and it connects to the main WiFi. ![]() If you do some digging on this forum and on cloudy nights you’ll see quite a few people using the compute stick in various configurations. Windows on an underpowered machine is always horrible. ![]() I went for the m3 version because it gave me room to expand and I knew windows 10 would be smooth. On smaller sensor cameras like the asi290 the atom is perfectly adequate. It’s the same power as a surface pro 3 and runs windows 10 nicely.īoth the atom and the m3 will work for eea (and ap) however, if you have a large sensor camera you’ll want to go with the m3 version due to the larger memory and faster chip. I have a compute stick with the m3 chip and it’s great. ![]()
