What are you doing with RISC OS?
|
It’s lightweight, and runs on a mobile-suited device (Pi). So, I would tend to agree. My latest fun with RiscOS is trying to use it as a nav ticker. With RC15 in combination with the SerialUSB module and !Connect program working well with my BU353 GPS puck on a Pi2, I have half the battle won there. Now looking for some nice parsing software for the NMEA output. |

Take a look at http://www.svrsig.org/HowTo.htm and RaspberryPi GPS. |

Hi Martin, Thanks for the link. I’ll give that program a whirl … it looks interesting. |

Currently I have just dug my RiscPC out of storage and have installed RISC OS on one of my R-Pis. Longer term I am thinking of coupling a touch screen to the pi and using it as networked music player. We will see how time allows for that – two young kids means little time for projects! |

Got an A3000 downstairs but I’m not sure it still works. Have a few emulators set up on my PC though, mostly to have access to ARM BASIC for just quickly throwing things together (if that counts!) |

post moved to the General Forum; where it should have been in the first place. |

Hi all I’m making the switch to RISC OS as my new main desktop OS. TY |
|
If I can browse the internet, print on my printer (HP Laserjet 1022n), use my Epson V37 scanner (USB), and view .PDF’s, I’d be pretty happy. Can I do all that on a Raspberry Pi 3B, running RISC OS 5.26? |

Well NetSurf would be my preferred browser but there’s also !Otter which provides better JavaScript support but comes with a speed penalty. The HP LJ 1022 is listed as supported via Gutenprint (commercial) but since it’s a network printer there’s also a free JetDirect/PCL solution, so you’re good. Gutenprint Have a look at !Plingstore and !PackMan for stuff like !PDF, !PDFTest and !Otter |

Limited.
The RISC OS PCL driver could work too.
No, but since the Twain2 source code is available, a Sane backend could be ported. |

What am I doing with RISC OS? Well, I finally got round to learning ‘C’ and am working on my very first RISC OS program using the OS_Lib library installed via PackMan. |
