Tinypilot is a special linux distribution based on tinycore linux This is more stable than openplotter and light weight running out of ram. It works well on the single core raspberry zero and zero-W. Tinypilot is supported on raspberry 0, 1, 2, 3, but not 3+ or 4 (yet) for these you can use openplotter to run pypilot.
Requires inertial sensors, preferably mpu9255 or mpu9250. Optional to connect a nokia5110 LCD display to the spi pins, and to use a 4 or 5 button keypad wire to gpio. Also an optional IR sensor on GPIO pin 4 can be used by any TV remote.
For controlling and configuring pypilot.
