Is Scratch a good way for doing broadcast from the Pi.

Tue May 20, 2014 12:04 am

I am trying to setup a network of Pi and one of them would be controller and sending broadcast message.

Is using scratch a good way for doing broadcast message at a regular intervals from the controller Pi?

Using Scratch only for creating broadcast messages seems to me like killing a tiny fly with hand grenade - you could do it, but you don't want to...

I think that is what multicast is for.

Use whatever language you know best. If you don't know any learn something popular like JavaScript... I guess it also depends on why you are doing it, maybe python/irc is the way to go or maybe c or maybe ssh/bash.
