Re: Shift key not working for Noobs recovery mode

Yes, thanks, meanwhile I found out this suggestion somewhere else. I think it should be included by default in the noobs instructions. It is included already. The documentation that all the Raspberry Pi Foundation instructions refer to is https://github.com/raspberrypi/noobs/ That contains a sectio...

Re: integrating arduino knobs&buttons into linux

As a hint, rather than a detailed reply... A Makey-Makey has arduino hardware at its core, and generates input to its host which appears to have come from a keyboard. There is a re-implementation of makey-makey called shrimpkey, for which an arduino sketch is available which you might be able to rea...

You say your RPi is 'far away', but you are attempting to connect to it with an 192.168.0.* 'private' IP address. Is that something that has worked for you in the past?

Do you have any supporting documentation to show that the NOOBS installer requires an ntfs partition?

Re: setup wizards

With the exception of RiscOs, all the commonly used operating systems available for an Rpi are versions of Linux.

But binary executable programs are not portable between systems with different CPU architectures.

So there is no simple definitive answer to your question.

Re: Running Concurrent Python Programs

NO disagreement with the fine detail of that. Maybe turning it round, the answer to the alternative question "do they have to run consecutively?" is certainly NO.

The word used in the Subject: 'concurrent' is accurate in everyday usage but possibly not to a Computer Scientist.
