- palata 1y agoHave you tried it, or are you just guessing?
- msgodel 1y agoYeah I've run various yolo implementations on my main computer and I've read what other people have measured on current and last gen raspberry pis. Again I think people overestimate how much compute this takes and underestimate how cheap embedded compute has gotten.
- palata 1y agoI see on the rpi website [1] that an RPi 5 costs 120$. That's 25% of the price of the FPV drone (500$). Then you have to integrate that RPi to the drone, both mechanically and software-wise. From YOLO, you need to actually get into commands for the autopilot. There is work involved. And another question is: can you order millions of RPis like this? If not, what is the cost of alternatives? Not saying it's impossible, just saying that people tend to underestimate those questions. I know it from experience, I have seen projects fail because of that. [1]: https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-5/ https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-5/
