If Lee can get the license tied to the RPi Ethernet MAC address instead of the WiFi dongle, that may free up a USB port.
Hi Rob,
This is now done, I think you were right this is a better method.
In the next release the Hotspot will be based on the ETH0 MAC address (applied to the WiFi)
Licensing will work on either port ETH0/WIFI, but new licenses will be bound to the ETH0 MAC address
Building a graphics App is no mean feat, especially when so much IP is already available, I honestly cannot see the point. XC-Soar offers a free Radar type display that runs under Android.
An android device with WiFi can be obtained for next to nothing, so why not go this route ?
I just did a quick search on eBay, and you can easily get Android devices for under £30
How could you ever compete with a bespoke solution ?
The effort and time is not worth the return on investment.
