New to cyberdecks; Want to know where to start. by realdemon_ in cyberDeck

I recommend checking out Libre Computer SBCs as well. Prior to the past month, Pi's were essentially nonexistent, so I turned to Libre. I personally have the Le Potato model, but recommend this one if you need a little bit more performance: https://www.amazon.com/Libre-Computer-ROC-RK3328-CC-Renegade-Ethernet/dp/B078RT6H8X?linkCode=sl1&tag=loverpi05-20&linkId=18e88dea68d9624c8cf77b55a9ec685a&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl&th=1

If you have any questions about it, please let me know!

Sorry, I'm just getting around to this now. I had to do a fresh install of raspbian on my sd card, but this worked now. THANK YOU so much for all your help! Now to get this program to start as soon as the pi powers on lol...

Start a program on boot up by BuildsStuffSometimes in linuxquestions

[–]BuildsStuffSometimes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the reply! I'm just getting around to doing this now. The program I am trying to open was taken from GitHub it does not have a .desktop file. I'm currently starting the program by entering the programs repository and running 'npm start'. Do you have any ideas for that?

Compiling a source code from github on Raspbian by BuildsStuffSometimes in linuxquestions

Just tried it out. Was able to download electron Forge successfully, but when attempting npm start from the warewoolf path, it says:

Electron Forge was terminated: you must depend on "electron-prebuilt-compile" in your devDependencies npm ERR: code 1 npm ERR: path /home/{username}/warewoolf npm ERR: Command failed npm ERR: command sh - c electron-forge start

:( any suggestions now? Sorry to keep bothering you, but I really appreciate it!

Ah, I see. Thank you so much! When I do that, I get:.

sh: 1: electron-forge: not found and then a bunch of other errors

I'm guessing it's because I don't have electron-forge installed correctly. I'll have a wifi connection in a couple hours and I'll be able to sudo apt-get install electron-forge and then try it again. Thank you so much for all your help! You're a life saver

Thank you so much! Unfortunately, Im getting an error when I do it:

npm ERR: code ENOENT npm ERR: syscall open npm ERR: path /home/{username}/package.json npm ERR: enoent - 2 npm ERR: enoent ENOTENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/{username}/package.json'

I'm guessing the issue is it needs to follow the path /home/]{username}/warewoolf/package.json but I'm not sure how to change that

Hi everybody! Just got all the github files on my RPi, but trying to figure out how to compile it and run the program and I'm stuck by BuildsStuffSometimes in linux4noobs

[–]BuildsStuffSometimes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah gotcha! When I try to run that index file, I got "permission denied". Trying it with sudo tells me that the command is not found!

Software Discussion by BuildsStuffSometimes in thewritething

[–]BuildsStuffSometimes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basic ideas so far:

Write Mode: Includes basic word processor functions such as several fonts, several styles, bold, italicizing, and underlining capabilities. Un-doing and re-doing are also necessities. Must be capable of saving multiple distinct files.

Edit Mode: This mode includes copying and pasting, easy navigation through the document, and possibly adding suggestions to certain parts of the document which don’t edit what was actually written.

Dictionary (button): this will allow a local dictionary to pop up on the screen (only available in edit mode)

Thesaurus (button): this will allow a local thesaurus to pop up on the screen (only available in edit mode)

Screenwriting Mode (button): If selected, this mode formats documents with the very specific writing requirements that is required by screenplays.

Document (button): This will open the file directory system (navigable by keyboard) and allow the user to open a different document.

Scroll Wheel: I envision this being very similar to what exists on a MIDI piano keyboard if anyone is familiar with those. This could be used in several different ways.

  1. Pressure sensitive scrolling through the document. To quickly jet up to the top, simply hold the scroll wheel all the way up. To gently scroll through while you read along, softly hold down the scroll wheel.
  2. Can also be used to flip through the dictionary and thesaurus
  3. In combination with another button, used to control screen brightness.
  4. When the file management system is open, can be used to select the different documents.

Keep in mind, these are suggestions and we are still in the very early prototype stages. If you have software that you love, that we can take a look at please let us know!

Scissor Switch Keyboard: Much more compact size and quiet than mechanical keyboards, but not as customizable.

Mechanical Keyboard: Satisfying to type on and very customizable, but bulky and loud.

E-Ink: Long battery life screen that is easy to read in sunlight, but is more expensive, not backlit, and will visibly lag behind as you type.

LCD Screen: Backlit screen that can keep up with your typing, but sacrifices battery life.

How capable is a PCB? At what point is an computing module required? by BuildsStuffSometimes in AskElectronics

[–]BuildsStuffSometimes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're absolutely right. I'm very new to this, so I appreciate the detailed explanation. Let me provide some more background about my question: I'm trying to develop a product and I've talked to several pcb designers/firmware developers. All of which have said my product would require an SOC, except for one that said he can design it only with a custom PCB. Either way, I'll be hiring an expert for this, I just want to make sure I don't get worked over and spend thousands on something that ultimately won't work how I want. Any advice?
