[Elecraft] Update on a Question About the P3 SVGA and Mac Computers

[Fred Jensen]

I don't know what a MacAir is, I've pretty much managed to avoid the 
iWorld.  I can tell you about the Raspberry Pi [and others] however.

Raspberry Pi [and Beagle Bone, and several others] are tiny little 
processor boards with weird names that run some flavor of LINUX, and 
thus will run LINUX-based applications, a great number of which speak 
Internet/Web.  You can do a great deal with them because of that.

I built a 40-station irrigation controller for my wife using the 
Hamstack components [hamstack.com] based on a Microchip PIC.  Aside from 
using their and Microchip C libraries, I had to write all the functional 
code in the PIC myself.

The Hamstack guys [who I know quite well] have now added Beagle Bone and 
maybe Raspberry Pi to their line, which allows you to capitalize on 
already created applications and modules.

Hope this helps.  I wouldn't be holding my breath for royalties, 
however. :-))
