hello, so i'm planning on developing an iPad application using xamarin forms to control JD through it; and i heard to make such an application i need to use mono sdk provided in this website. i got mono sdk and i got a raspberry pi also. but how can i make xamarin code on my windows 10 communicate with raspberry pi that is connected to its own HDMI screen, keyboard, and mouse? confused
should i establish an SSH connection between them? to execute the code written on xamarin using the raspberry pi terminal?
This is a tough answer because by wanting to run your project outside of the ARC environment on a raspberry pi will require programming. Mono is quite easy to start programming for, if you have experience programming.
In this case, you don't have experience programming yet or we wouldn't have this conversation
But that's okay - it'll merely take some time.
One of the best options that i can think of to avoid you having to program is run ARC on the raspberry pi. This can be done via an x86 emulator, wine and the .net 4.6 framework: https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Set-Up-Wine-on-Raspberry-Pi-1/
@DJ Sures great! this will be much easier for me so i can focus on programming xamarin app only. i do love programming and i wish to learn and gain more experience in it but since i have a deadline to submit this project i must take the shortest and easiest path.
so back to the topic, if i got the ARC on the raspberry pi and created the same projects i did in windows ARC. will i still be able to do point #3:
and how can i create this TCP server on the raspberry pi?
I'm lost...

rwn0110 first post current thread:
OK same, as the last thread. still makes sense, you can use the mono sdk dll with a Xamarin project. the confusion starts here.... Why a Raspberry PI ? If your goal is a mobile app connected to the EZB/JD Robot.So why the Raspberry PI came again ?
@ptp because on the first thread DJ has told me to use xamarin. And when i started to look for the solution myself on how to make a mobile app using xamarin for JD. I saw some threads talking about mono sdk for mobile developments. And when i looked at the mono sdk page in this website; they mentioned something about using a raspberry pi. So i thought that the raspberry pi will form a connection between xamarin app created on my windows 10 laptop for ipad and the JD robot microcontroller.
So the connection is like: Xamarin >> raspberry pi >> JD microcontroller
Hello, So i installed exagear on my raspberry pi and installed wine version 2 but i’m having trouble installing .Net 4.6.1 framework for ARC. I tried so many ways but all of them have failed. However; i tried installing .Net 4.5 framework and it was easily installed; i don’t know what the issue with 4.6.1 I even tried installing wine version 3 instead of 2. But its installation was not easy at all and i faced many errors as well.
So is there a similar program to wine that works with ARC?

Thank you!
Oh and i was just wondering... if my goal is to have the ARC in raspberry pi to form a TCP connection between the raspberry pi, robot and the program i wrote in xamarin for ipad application.
Can’t i just form a TCP Connection between the ARC in my windows 10 laptop and the xamarin code i wrote for the ipad application in the same windows 10 laptop? eek Will this allow me to run scripts of ARC by pushing a certain button on the ipad application for example?
@mansi1209 I honestly don’t know, i left working with it and chose another method
