Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Update on a Question About the P3 SVGA and
A week or two ago I posted this question: Would it be possible to have
the P3's SVGA output displayed on the screen of a MacAir computer, and
have a logging program resident on the same computer, and be able to
toggle between the two with a simple computer keyboard stroke? Neat trick
for
I don't know what a MacAir is, I've pretty much managed to avoid the
iWorld. I can tell you about the Raspberry Pi [and others] however.
Raspberry Pi [and Beagle Bone, and several others] are tiny little
processor boards with weird names that run some flavor of LINUX, and
thus will run
The Mac Air is a laptop. properly known as a MacBook Air. It's the
'netbook' variant of the laptops.
As Far as I know, there is no way to use the internal display of a MacBook
to display anything other than the OS or an application. That applies to
anything with a display in it that Apple makes.
Why not just look at the P3 display? Don't you need that to have the P3 SVGA?
I don't have a P3.
What about using a Softrock Lite IF to a USB sound card on the Macbook Air?
The Softrock Lite is about $22 but you have to build it. You could also get a
LP-Pan2, but you already have the P3 so
I thought about this problem for a few minutes a few months ago. Decided it
was not worth the
hassle. Therefore, if I want a larger screen for the P3 then I would use an
SVGA monitor that
could be bought for $50 to $150 depending on lots of variables.
But, if you want full rig control
Although Raspberry Pi is indeed a Linux system, the cpu is not Intel so any of
the software that is available for
Linux must be built from sources on the Raspberry Pi system (unless it is
provided by rPI's distro).
Not every ham radio operator is equipped to build large complicated
sigh This is not a difficult problem to solve. First off, the MacBook Air is
_not_ a netbook. Netbooks are defined by their low-power processors (typically
Intel Atoms). The MacBook Air has a full multi-core Intel I5 processor, which
means it can do real work.
The best way to approach this is
