But with the advent of tablets abd smartphones - there maybe other alternatives now. We have used the Raspberry Pi at work - it's a gr3at device!

Did you end up getting it all running?I have everything working except the touch overlay, but I suspect I have a faulty controller. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XBMC (Kodi) has a calibration plugin but it doesn't seem to help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to have died off in the last year though unfortunately :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried it but it was laggy and very buggy. Light weight linux with the applications you want is going to work better in the long run 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
