pk tether / hardware

steve7cat · 01-03-2016, 01:44 AM

I was running pk tether on a atom based netbook with windows xp I no longer have the netbook . will a 7 or 10" windows tablet run pk tether ?

I could carry that around with the camera gear quite easily., I assume the quad core tablets are more powerful than my old netbook.can you get the software on to the tablet.? thank you in advance

happy new year

Steve

Should work as long as the tablet has a USB port and lets you install Windows desktop applications. Most 2-in-1 notebooks should get the job done - what model are you considering?

I bought a linx 7 windows tablet from amazon around £50 pleased to say it runs PK tether. works fine with a 5 metre usb cable, I am hoping to set the camera up
(KX)
by the bird table and trigger it from the kitchen, the screen is quite small and its a bit hard to see so a 10 inch one might be better for some but I want portability.
