today, I decided to move over a home monitoring project to a raspberry pi for the first time. my experience thus far, i think i spent more time deciding on what host name I should give the raspberry pi than what it meant to compile my application for the raspberry pi. without changing one line of code, the app fired up with no problem
thank you again Xojo team for allowing me to expand to areas I never thought I would go in.
I too had a complicated serial based project that I just compiled for raspberry and it worked immediately (as immediately as linux allows).
its just a pity it took me about two days to figure out how to get the program to copy to the Pi and then how to just allow it to run!!!, linux is really the most unfriendly OS.
terminal, really… like going back to my Hyundai 286 laptop and DOS in 1985(or whenever it was).
everything on the XOJO is just great with the Pi, I certainly would never have spent any time on it without XOJO.
I tried using BitTorrent Sync ( https://www.getsync.com/ ) but I found I had to stop and restart one end or the other to get the sync to occur.
Then I tried SyncThing. ( https://syncthing.net/ ) It was a friendlier user interface and it seemed to sync automatically when the next timed event occurred. Very nice.
You could just setup smbd on your Raspberry Pi then you can just access it like any other Windows server. It is pretty easy to setup. I even just develop right on the Raspberry Pi from a Windows Desktop so I am not even copying anything.
