You don’t need to hook up your Pi to a physical display, keyboard and mouse. You can set up VNC on the Pi so you can remotely connect to it.
My Raspberry Pi 2 sits on my desk next to one of my speakers. It’s not hooked up to any display. I use a combination of SSH, SFTP and VNC when I need to work with it.
Comments closedOn Monday February 29th, the Raspberry Pi Foundation announced the new Raspberry Pi 3. This updated Pi has some significant improvements over the Pi 2, including:
That last bullet point is notable because it means that Xojo is also fully compatible with the new Raspberry Pi 3!

Comments closedI’m seeing more and more headlines about how citizen developers are helping create the apps that business need.
In particular, a recent article at ZDNet, “The advent of the citizen developer” talks about how non-programmers can help create the apps needed by an enterprise company:
So the business-side has long had to place their fate in the hands of those with the requisite skills but often with little sympathy for or first-hand knowledge of the business itself. Or they just ended-up acquiring pre-existing software that was a close enough fit, and then had it configured to their needs. Neither path has typically produced tech solutions that fit business needs very well, and ‘good enough’ has usually been the mantra of the day.
These articles explain how “citizen developers”, sometimes referred to as a business analysts (or maybe even power-users), are using rapid application development tools to create apps that helps the business solve a problem more quickly than going through a more formal and lengthy IT process.
Comments closedBjorn at Einhugur has created a bunch of tutorials for projects you can create using Xojo and a Raspberry Pi.
Comments closedIf you are creating Xojo desktop apps for your Raspberry Pi (and why not since Xojo Pi if free for desktop & console apps), you may want to take advantage of the HTMLViewer control for easy display of HTML content or apps.
Comments closedAs you may have heard, Xojo 2015 Release 3 added the long-awaited ability to create 64-bit apps. And it also added the ability to create Raspberry Pi 2 apps (Linux ARM). This now means there are lots more apps that can get built.
Comments closedIn order to interface with the Raspberry Pi, you often want to use the General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) port. It is easy enough to connect a broadboard to the port, but how do you write Xojo code that can talk to the port?
Comments closedSerious about cross-platform development? Consider going Pro with Xojo. Whether you are new to Xojo or looking to upgrade your existing licenses, Xojo Pro is the best way to take advantage of everything Xojo has to offer.
Comments closedYou can develop and build console and desktop apps for Raspberry Pi 2 (and Raspberry Pi 3) using Xojo 2019r1 or later for free.
