Howdy all,
I was just having one of my "moments" where I don't know if I thought of something extremely awesome or totally stupid, and that's the reason for this post.
I've long been stuck on qb programming as it's all that makes sense to me, and qb64pe has allowed me to keep at it.
Most of the programs I've made are calculation type spread sheet style programs, or sensor and control programs. So I haven't got into the opengl graphics yet. I have my subs and stuff for buttons and that's about it for graphics.
Lately I've been doing a lot of work on pi boards, orange pi specifically, and it's been a great time. Qb64 needs 2gb to compile, but after that things go quick and smooth.
Some of the latest programs I have fifo buffers and programs written in c to pipe data from analog to digital boards into qb for further processing and stuff.
Anyways, I got to thinking, I know qb64pe won't run on android, but does anyone know specifics? Just asking because I've gotten by on the desktop linux versions thus far, but started wondering if it would be possible to either use an android image or stripped down linux specifically for using qb64pe on arm boards.
Is it possible qb64 programs can run without a desktop using the $console option?
I'll leave my thoughts there for now.
So far I made uart ports (serial) work on orange pi, and seems like most I/O can be handled with little workarounds or helper programs and buffers so it would be neat if there was some common libraries to use pi boards with qb or maybe a stripped down linux just for qb.
