Can we use a Raspberry Pi 400 with the ADSBX image?

    I'm thinking a Pi 400 should work with the ADSBX image as the 400 is basically a Pi 4 with different housing.

    Can anyone confirm?
    Thanks

    Raspberry Pi 400 incorporates a purpose-built board based on Raspberry Pi 4. Featuring the same powerful processor.

    Seems like it should work, but I haven't heard any reports for sure. Anyone have one to test?

    • 1.8GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A72 CPU (Same as Pi 4)
    • 4GB LPDDR4-3200 DRAM
    above is the tech info to the 400. Looks good. I will know soon I have one on the way.

    It is just tough to find a the Pi 4 2GB which seems to work nicely

    Agreed. The supply chain issues are getting real old... :/

    Just fired up my Raspberry Pi 400 with the ADSBX image. So for, so good.

    Hardware : BCM2711
    Revision : c03131
    Model : Raspberry Pi 400 Rev 1.1

    I wouldn't expect any issues besides the lack of a GUI you might miss :)

    There are guides out there how to add GUI to Raspbian Lite, if you really want that it shouldn't cause issues.

    All looks good. I purchased the Pi 400 on Adafruit for $100. It was the only new Pi hardware that was briefly for sale two weeks ago. Runs 10C cooler than the Pi 4 but is way more than this ADSB application needs. 11% max CPU utilization, barley tapping the 4 G of memory.
