I've been consider Beaglebone boards as RPI alternatives, since they have better embedded/realtime programming support (essentially a second microcontroller on the board to handle realtime control, without Linux interfering/interrupting) . But if it's just the "head" for your system you might not have any critical/realtime interaction code on the RPI.</div><div><br></div><div>Also, while your sub is charging you can have it mining Bitcoins. :)</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers!</div><div> Ian. <br><br><blockquote style="padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 0px; border-left: #0000ff 2px solid; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial,sans-serif; color: black;">-----Original Message-----

Due to limited screen "real estate" it was important to layer information based upon importance. Those things that I consider essential information appears on the initial display...depth, duration, heading, warnings, and access to engines. You'll note that depth, duration, and warnings are always displayed regardless of what other information is being displayed. </span>Graphics is a matter of personal preference. I do like Cliff's display as well.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1527166872160_19362" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1527166872160_19362" dir="ltr">What I really like about the Raspberry PI is that you have a full Linux OS at your disposal so logging data is easy and accessing the OS via ftp, vnc, or wifi with the latest versions, is all possible. The wifi capability with VNC means I can even access and control the display with my phone. On the surface at least, a support team could use their own phones to log into the SCM and monitor my submarine systems. Just a lot of neat stuff that can be done.</div><div class="qtdSeparateBR" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1527166872160_19361"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1527166872160_19333" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 16px;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1527166872160_19332"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1527166872160_19331"> <div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1527166872160_19359"> <font size="2" face="Arial" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1527166872160_19360"> <hr size="1" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1527166872160_19756"> <b id="yui_3_16_0_1_1527166872160_21159"><span style="font-weight:bold;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1527166872160_21158">From:</span></b> Alan via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> Personal Submersibles General Discussion <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> <br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Thursday, May 24, 2018 1:06 AM<br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] DSV Aquatic update<br> </font> </div> <div class="y_msg_container" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1527166872160_19330"><br><div id="yiv3849018107"><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1527166872160_19329"><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1527166872160_19328">Great work Jon, must have taken quite a bit of time.</div><div id="yiv3849018107AppleMailSignature">I don't think you have too many sensor inputs; I worked out that I </div><div id="yiv3849018107AppleMailSignature">needed 60+ to be in line with GL requirements.</div><div id="yiv3849018107AppleMailSignature">I looked at the display video & it was quite easy to follow.</div><div id="yiv3849018107AppleMailSignature">Did you model that on an existing submarine display?</div><div id="yiv3849018107AppleMailSignature">Alan</div><div id="yiv3849018107AppleMailSignature"><br clear="none"><br></div></div></div></div> </div> </div> </div></div></zzzbody></zzzhtml></personal_submersibles@psubs.org></personal_submersibles@psubs.org></blockquote></div></div></body></html>
