In this 6th installment of DJ's Live Hack Events, we'll be installing ARC on a Raspberry Pi, install plugins and control a robot. There's a conversation regarding NeoPixels and how to drive them from EZ-Builder. I'll connect a NeoPixel to an Arduino and control it via EZ-Builder.
true true, so really they are very close in price.
Totally - although I’m looking forward to windows on the Pi. I was thinking of installing it this weekend to try out, but since there’s no WiFi support yet it won’t be very useful.
Apparently disabling a ton of the graphic enhancements will speed it up quite a bit. It doesn’t use the gpu yet, so there’s a lot of room for performance improvements in the upcoming months.
The website is pi64.win
Dj I have tested the windows on pi and followed this tutorial on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBslh3nWu0U. ARC is not to bad speed wise about a 5-10 second delay for loading.There is no wifi support but there is ethernet and I think you can use a wifi dongle.
I was watching that video yesterday - ironically! How long did it take you to get running?
This seems to be great...also having in mind that the Raspberry Pi 4 is around the corner!!
It took me about 3 hours because it takes an hour to run the disk image command and then another hour to write the image and then when you boot the pi and do the setup and stuff it takes about a half hour.
DJ is there going to be a live hack tonight?
Yes if you have to do all from scrap it takes a while...could be nice if there would also be some ready to use image for first timers! But once you are set updating your software is really easy and fast!
