Atomic Pi by Team IoT
The Atomic Pi is a high-power SBC (single board computer) for mounting inside a robot, and the specs are impressive. You get a single-board computer with an Intel processor for thirty-five American dollars. You get 16 Gigs of eMMC Flash, more than enough for a basic Windows/ARC system. It includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, a real-time clock, ethernet, and fast USB 3. The best part? It was only thirty-five dollars.
Drivers
The Windows 10 x64 bit drivers are a little difficult to find for the Atomic Pi, surprisingly. So we are hosting them for you here to run on your Atomic Pi powered robot. Unzip the files on a USB thumb drive and install them on your Atomic Pi. The WiFi drivers below will also enable 5ghz, increase speed and range.
Installation Tips & Performance for SBCs
We have a guide in the Support section that includes steps on freeing storage space, increasing the performance, powering the SBC, and running headless with remote desktop software of robot computers, such as single-board computers. View the instructions HERE.
I'm no expert but... This sounds like a driver issue or a device install problem. I did install Win 10 on a Rock Pi X and had several problems. One of the troubleshooting steps I was led to was to look in the Windows Device Manager. Look through the list of everything in there for any explanation points or odd tags. That will tell you exactly which device or driver is causing the issues.
Are there any instructions in the driver pack about installing with safe mode or driver signing disabled? Usually, there's a readme.txt or something.
I remember having a few challenges with the atomic pi that I put in my Apple ][. I believe it was also related to video trouble.
There was a xml file that opened a website with basic instructions, but nothing that suggested troubleshooting. I did try a couple times putting it in safe mode and using the driver backup program included with the software pack and it still did not work. Just for fun I downloaded the software pack on my working laptop and ran the driver backup program included and it opened without any issues. So I believe there is some kind of dependency that is removed from the Atomic Pi Win 10 iso linked to download on the synthiam website. I tried checking for corrupted files and everything came back clean. At this point in troubleshooting I believe it is the ISO itself missing a dependency that the Driver Backup utility needs to run. @DJ Sures , I know your busy, but do you mind doing a quick install on usb or sd card and see if it allows you to run the Driver backup tool? This way we can clear up if there is something missing from the Win 10 lite for ARC ISO that is on the page for everyone to download. This could prevent frustration from any users trying to get the atomic pi working for use with synthiam.
@dave schulpius
You have an Atomic Pi right? Do you mind downloading the Win 10 For ARC iso on this page and try installing the drivers package? If you don’t already have a ISO to USB burner download Rufus from CNET Downloads. That way I have another person to confirm the problem. Thank You for your time!
Hi jstarne1, Sorry old friend, I would love to help but I don't have an Atomic Pi. I'm running a Rock Pi X.
