Everything starts with a robust system!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Raspberry Pi boards are sturdy and in particular the new Raspberry Pi CM4 module<\/a> as well as having extremely small dimensions has very high performances. This is ideal if you want to equip your system with advanced features such as Machine learning, robotics or outdoor IoT devices and computer vision algorithms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent times, drones have taken the field and some companies have taken the technological level of these machines very high. Even the open-source world has produced software of incredible engineering level like the firmware for flight controllers such as Ardupilot<\/a>, INAV<\/a>, Betaflight<\/a> and others. The guys from OpenHD<\/a> took a step further and created a system to transmit the video captured by a high-resolution camera associated with an OSD that allows you to view the running data. However, these systems created for drones can be used with any type of vehicle, be it a rover, aglider, an airplane or a submarine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The possibilities offered for this type of application by a machine such as the CM4 module are remarkable and in fact opens a wide range of new scenarios that are truly amazing\uff01<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Flavio Ansovini is an enthusiast of electronics, robotics and programming, and in recent years he has applied his skills to the world of RC models and drones. To make the most of the Raspberry Pi CM4 module he decided to create a carrier board oriented to robotics, drones, IoT devices and in general to embedded devices. The carrier board is called \u00f6ch\u00ecn CM4<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u00f6ch\u00ecn CM4 is a tiny carrier board for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module. It is designed for applications where a powerful machine with low consumption and small dimensions is required. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The small form factor makes it interesting for all those applications where the space available is not much and containing the weight is important, such as in robotics, home automation and IoT.<\/p>\n\n\n

Furthermore, the board is compatible with all Raspberry Pi CM4 modules equipped with eMMC. Depending on your needs, you can select a CM4 module with an SDRAM starting from 1GB up to 8GB and the eMMC from 8GB up to 32GB, with or without the Wi-Fi \/ BT4 connection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key features <\/strong>of the Raspberry Pi CM4 available on \u00f6ch\u00ecn <\/strong>that Flavio developed <\/strong>are as follows<\/strong>:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
