Compatibility

Tested on Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) for Raspberry Pi 3 Model B V1.2 with a Raspberry Pi NoIR Camera V2.1 and on Raspberry Pi Pico W 2022.

To verify your Raspberry Pi model and OS, enter the following command in a terminal:

echo "Model:" $(cat /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/model | tr -d '\0')
echo "OS:" $(cat /etc/os-release | grep "PRETTY_NAME" | awk -F '=' '{print $2}' | tr -d '"')
