To replicate this project, you need:
- Raspberry Pi supporting 64-bit OS with Raspberry Pi OS Lite installed
(This project is designed for a
Pi Zero 2 W) - Modified command line arguments:
TODO - Sensors attached (see
SensorsandWiring) Python 3.9- Note that in the interest of performance, we are not creating a Docker image for this project.
| Model | Purpose | Link | Source Code | Notes | Implemented |
