Your Raspberry Pi needs an operating system to work. This is it. Sunscan OS is our official supported operating system.

1 - Installing Raspberry Pi Imager

2 - Download SunScan OS

3 - Installation on MicroSD (reco 128 Gb)

  • Insert the micro SD card into a reader connected to your computer

  • Launch RPI Imager Click on “Choose Device” and select Raspberry Pi 4 B+

  • Click on “Choose OS” and select “Use Custom”

  • Choose the image “sunscan-os-xxx.img.xz” downloaded previously

  • Click on “Choose storage” and select your SD card (size of about 128 Gb)

Double check this step, and choose the correct device to avoid emptying another storage device!

  • Click on “Next” Then click on “No” for customization

  • Then click on “Yes” to start the installation.

  • And now, wait… it’s long, up to several hours including the verification phase!

5 - Login to Sunscan

Turn on sunscan: short press on power button (click).

Wait a minute, then the wifi network “sunscan-***” should appear on your mobile.

Then launch the SUNSCAN application 🙂
