V-Control 4.0.3 on Raspberry Pi
V-Control 4.0 Beta for ARM 32 / Raspberry Pi released
Today the promised Raspberry Pi version of V-Control is available for download. Please keep in mind that the power of a Raspberry is much less then a core i CPU.
The main application for V-Control for ARM should be small projects that require a low-cost platform and small form factor.
We also released the first Beta of V-Control 4.0 64 Bit for Linux. It was tested with Ubuntu 17.10 and Linux Mint 18.3, but should run on all distros with GTK3 support.
We are still looking for volunteers that help us testing the MAC OSX version. At the moment we assume that there is not much interest in a MAC OSX version, because nobody want’s to help us yet.
V-Control 4.0 Beta for Windows released
Today we released our brand new V-Control 4. The first release has beta status and is available for Windows 64 Bit only. Other platforms will follow, including Raspberry Pi.

In this article, I will describe a simple solution using an Android device, a cheap Bluetooth serial port and a V-IO interface. The V-IO is not really necessary, a simple Arduino Uno is sufficient, but with V-IO we also have a housing for the Arduino. Continue reading “Super simple and Cheap Android Touch Interface Part 1”
