Hello Experienced Discord Users, I am currently working on my graduation project which involves creating a human following robot. I would greatly appreciate your expertise and assistance in this project. Specifically, I am looking for guidance on how to download the Raspberry Pi operating system on a Windows computer and the recommended size of an SD card for this task.

Hi @406399 I'd suggest using 32 GB Micro SDCard. You can use Raspberry Pi Imager s/w which makes the entire process of writing OS image on SDcard easier than that of manually downloading RPi OS. https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/. I think for project you may need to interface Camera with RPi along with Computer Vision capabilities using OpenCV libs

Exactly, to download the Raspberry Pi operating system on a Windows computer, you can use the official Raspberry Pi Imager tool. Here is the open source repo : @https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-imager . As for the SD card size, a minimum of 8GB is recommended, but for better performance and storage capacity, consider using a 16GB or 32GB SD card. I wish u good luck with your project @406399
