it wasn't darkweb, but "unsupported" is a better description. I chose the Waveshare 10.1 resistance touch LCD because I felt the 7" was to small for our type of cars. and I didn't want to have to use special gloves. I also liked that the pi attaches directly to it. it has the ads7846 chip and uses the hidinput.

do I need to do anything special with the rc.local file? does ether line need to be first?

sudo nano /etc/rc.local
ADD BEFORE EXIT0
python /home/pi/.off_button.py &
/opt/racecapture/boot_racecapture.sh pi

Ah, I was confused there. :)

Order shouldn't matter, I think.

RPI on all versions?

Post by turbogrill »

Hi,

Will running the app on RPI work with Racecapture Pro Mk1 as well?

Thanks

Guys, I recorded a video to show how RCP app can be operated in Raspberry Pi using a wireless mini keyboard and touchpad combo. Check it out:

Worth mentioning, next app version due out in a couple of weeks we'll have more keyboard shortcuts:

'd' -> navigates to dashboard
's' -> navigates to setup
'a' -> navigates to analysis
'p' -> navigates to app preferences
't' -> navigates to status
ctrl-q -> exit the app

Sorry, it was set private by mistake. Should be good now.

Good job on the keyboard shortcuts, looking forward to the new release.

Very nice. So many channels of data!

What settings did you use to enable the mouse?

It was really simple (after I figured it out, of course :lol: )

I just added a "cursor = 1" row in Kivy's config.ini file

Which version is this?

Just asking because 1.11.0 doesn't seem to be responding to these (and I've had no success getting a visible cursor for the mouse), but wanted to know if I should be waiting a little longer...

In which section? I've tried all of the obvious places, but I don't see "cursor = 1" mentioned in any of the relevant Kivy documentation (did you mean show_cursor?)

It will be in the 1.12.0 app due out in a week or two, gearing up for the release process now.
