Hardware Requirements

The software is designed to run on most hardware, and should work on any system with equivalent or better specifications. However, it’s important to note that hardware and software are closely interconnected. So, before selecting an operating system, make sure that the minimum system requirements are met.

Note

Please note that Autodarts is primarily developed for Linux-based systems. While there are setups available for Windows and macOS, they are currently in alpha release and may contain bugs.

Releases are available at GitHub. Follow the link in the menu to the left.

Important

For Autodarts, the minimum hardware requirements are as follows.

• CPU: 2x2.0GHz or 4x1.5GHz
• RAM: 1GB
• USB: 3 ports for cameras (at least 2 separate USB Buses)
• Storage: At least 1GB of free Storage

Depending on what your system needs to be able to do, you should pay attention to the following hardware requirements when selecting the ThinClient / Raspberry Pi (4/5) / Mac:

* Board Manager only, no Monitor, no Extensions

** Board Manager, no Monitor, up to 2 Extensions

*** Board Manager, Monitor, up to 4 Extensions

Note

Please check out the Example Setups section. There, you will find some tested setups that will help you determine the best hardware for your needs.

For cameras, you should consider purchasing OV9732 with a 100° viewing angle. These cameras work great and offer a good price-performance ratio. Other cameras should also work. Before buying, please visit the Discord server. PLEASE use the search function before you Post “Is this camera working”!

You can buy ready-made solutions like the “Winmau Plasma” or “Target Corona.” You can also build your own ring. For this, please check out the 3D Printing 3D Printing section, where you can find STL files for the Winmau Plasma ring. Additionally, you can find files to construct your own ring.
