Re: Raspberry Pi4

Usually it must works out of the box just with firmware/os upgrade on SD card image.

Re: Raspberry Pi4

let us know how the Pi4 works out....if it is fully functional I might just be able to give up my remote slicer.  The Pi 4, if benchmarks mean anything, should approach the speed I see on my linux remote machine...but I guess alot depends on how threaded things are when slicing.  My installation is a pain to change the Pi, but I would do the work once I know Pi4 is a viable option....:)

Re: Raspberry Pi4

Considering bandwidth upgrade and Processor bump I guess it should work around 2 up to 6 times faster than current generation. It is not close to desktop CPUs but pretty acceptable in my opinion.

Re: Raspberry Pi4

I guess my desktop CPU is pretty sad ....it feels maybe 2-3x faster than my Pi when remote slicing.,,,which I always thought was slow considering it's a 3ghz quad Xeon box.
So a 2-6 times bump might get me out of remote slicing....

Re: Raspberry Pi4

Strange, maybe we could not utilize it well as xeon performance should well above ~20x of pi 3. Check load whenever you had run remote slicing see if all cores being used or not.

Re: Raspberry Pi4

okay I did some testing....My latest remote slicer (I updated recently to a newer ubuntu install for nano compatibility) is I think much faster than previously (same hardware).  All Xeon cores are used.  Slicing is faster than Pi3 by a significant amount....however lately I have been doing pieces that I think also slice fast on the Pi plus since they are quicker slice jobs the overhead becomes a significant part.  With a large more complex model the remote slicer is clearly much faster...still with the Pi4 local slicing might be sufficient for most things....but that remote machine is up anyway as a server for various functions I'll probably keep it even if I move to a Pi4 for some reason.

You need to upgrade OS to raspbian buster.
