What are you doing with RISC OS?

Risc OS really needs to compete very hard with mac and windows. Looking for opportunity in mobile OS as well.

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!)
Despite the shortcomings, it’s a lot less effort than dealing with Windows and Microsoft’s ever-more-complicated APIs, heh.

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