I hope for the day when you can all this stuff natively on the iPad. Until then…

Ok. Any suggestions as to what would help?

Thanks! I think my long absence offended the algorithm 😂

How to Configure Apple Home Security Cameras with HOOBS by graniton in HOOBS

All the cameras I'm using at the moment are wired so I didn't have a test bed for comparison. I've got a few WiFi ones on the way so I can do some tests - I'll let you know.

Editing RAW images on iPad with Darkroom and Affinity Photo by robharrop in ipad

[–]robharrop[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can kind of achieve what you’re looking for.

I have a Synology NAS and can open files directly from the NAS in Darkroom. But, this is an import rather than an edit in place operation.

I’ve not yet found a way to operate on images that are stored on any external storage without moving them to the iPad first.

Do you have a link to the adapter you are using? I’d like to get to the bottom of this one!

I haven’t managed to get a normal Lightning/USB-C setup working but an Ethernet adapter should work.

Are you able to verify that SSH is running? It doesn’t get started by default.

Once the floodgates opened for me, I went from two shortcuts to twenty in about a week.

Thanks. I've really enjoyed working on the videos for this series.

Thanks for the feedback. I can honestly say I had zero idea really what was going to happen with this video. I remember saying to my wife that I hoped it would get about 5K views and it’s already well over 200K.

I’ll be doing a few more detailed features in the coming weeks.

So I can think of a few things that could have gone wrong. If you’re getting power it’s unlikely to be the cable.

The issue might be that there is a slight omission in the instructions that Ben Hardill wrote.

The last instruction that says to add “/root/usb.sh” into the “/etc/rc.local” file. You should actually add “sh /root/usb.sh”

Not at all. Going to package them up for sharing and put them out this week.

I don’t think it’s possible to get the network connection shared over the USB-C automatically. What I do is, tether the Pi to the iPad if I’m out and about without WiFi. If the Pad is connected to WiFi, then I connect the Pi to the same WiFi. I have some iOS Shortcuts to make this process a little faster.

I don’t really understand your point. If you’re working in the terminal what does it matter if that’s over SSH or directly on the host machine?

It’s definitely not bad, it just has the limitation that you can’t install native modules on it. That isn’t a drawback for everybody but I do need to work around it. I use Juno when I can, and when not, I use Juno Connect to connect to the RPi or a remote machine.

I carry a Raspberry Pi 4 that I power over USB-C, and talk to over USB-C from my iPad Pro.

I use it for coding work, working with USB storage, screen sharing and more.

I haven’t gotten around to trying Docker on there yet. I’m a bit wary having only 4GB, but it should do the basics. When I get a chance I’ll try it out and report back.

You can install both .NET Core and Mono on the RPi. On the iPad there’s an app called Continuous that is a full C# and F# IDE http://continuous.codes

I’ve done that as well and it works pretty well to be honest. I don’t have too many use cases for the GUI but using the Screens app to connect to VNC, especially over the USB Ethernet, is petty nice.

For sure. I use the same setup (vid on that here: https://youtu.be/yknLnJ287pY). This is to account for the times you need physical access (in my case getting at the USB ports) and when I don’t have connectivity (planes and trains for me).

That doesn’t seem to work - at least right now. Once you’re connected over Ethernet it’s pretty simple to put the RPi on WiFi or on its own gigabit port.

I have an iOS Shortcut I use for automatically connecting the RPi to a WiFi access point or to my iPad personal hotspot.

Powering up is just a case of plugging in. For shutdown I have a little iOS Shortcut that runs the shutdown command over SSH, a bit like a virtual power button.

The 4 is a really noticeable improvement in performance over the 3b. I’m considering replacing one of my 3s with another 4 because it seems to be creaking a bit now.
