Hello,
I found the following post from Erel from back in December 2013. It shows how to interact with the Console on a Raspberry Pi from B4J.

I am wondering something similar. During development it would be nice to ask simple questions at application start and receive input for different options - like serial terminal connection or number of data points.

I am using a VNC session on a Win 10 PC to show the Raspbian GUI screen while working with my Headless Pi 3.

The Win 10 PC also runs B4J. The log output from my console application appears in the B4J IDE.

Is it possible/difficult to have the B4J application open a terminal window that would apppear within the Raspbian GUI session that is shown by the VNC window. I would use this to interact with my application in a fashion similar to the interaction with the Console shown above.

I've seen mention of a web interface, but that would be much too complicated for my development needs.

Thanks,
Barry.
