B4J Question Raspberry Pi and PiFace

[mrossen]

Hi,

After I have seen Erel nice library jPi4J I have got a I/O expantion board called PiFace

I thought that I could control it with jPi4J, but it seems that I was wrong ):

Is there anyone there knows this board or maybee knows if it can get to Work with B4J

the products website is : http://www.piface.org.uk/products/piface_digital/

Hi, Again,

It seems like it is possible with the Pi4j version 0.05, but can it be used with b4j.

BTW, tomorrow the first beta of the next version (v1.80) will be released. This version will include a tool named B4J-Bridge. B4J-Bridge will allow developers to remotely debug (and deploy) their apps. This will be very useful with boards such as Raspberry Pi.

Guys, apologies if I sound a bit stupid, but does that mean we can code in B4A and deploy that code on Raspberry Pi rather than Android?
Noob here, forgive lol.

No, but you can code in B4j and deploy on Raspberry Pi. The difference is the UI.

Thank you. I didn't know about B4j. Clever idea RAD for RPI.

 

[Erel]

B4J can do many things including RAD for RPI (like desktop apps and servers)

So cool. Thanks for your contribution Erel. Opens up a ton of possibilities
