Supporting TCL
cast-fish:
Right, sharing knowledge and free things is likely helpful...it is probably a great contribution.
Not sure about extensions, but sometimes there are large "ready to go" repository's of free software shared.
you may be doing custom computer(s)...... which is totally useful.
thx

Hello Rich, thanks for the tip, you did all the work for me! ;D
cast-fish, what repositories are you referring to? Are there unofficial TC repos, or do you mean the galaxy of open-source linux apps?
I'm not sure how many people would use Scipy (On an RPi I can't imagine a use other than high-level processing of sensor signals) but one issue that's been holding me up on submitting it is that it's submodules have overlapping dependencies within the module. It's a big package and often one might use just one or two modules for a project, e.g. scipy-linalg.tcz + scipy-integrate.tcz. So I'd either have to have a pretty big ~40mb scipy-base.tcz with everything to support all the submodules, or have a small base and create submodules with overlapping parts of each other. I would lean toward the second choice, although it would be less efficient if the entire module is needed.
I'd like to setup a navigation app for piCore. There's many projects to choose from but I think I'll try to compile KDE's Marble first... suggestions welcome. I'm not sure how well it'll work for a 1-point touch display but at least Qt has a virtual keyboard, and it'll do voice routing too although I'm not sure about waterproof microphones. My interest is to get offline routing data along a navigation route to feed a trip simulator and accurately predict range with a vehicle physics profile, then optionally ensure a minimum range with dynamic power limits that maintain a consistent speed. Currently I'm using a PID range limiter which actually works quite well in flat Florida but would be allergic to hills. Although a big endeavor, it's worth a lot of peace of mind when a heavy hand on the throttle makes the difference between 40 and 180 miles of EV range.

hello xenodius+members, yeah i mean say "appimage apps", of which there are about 1800 apps whicih are available that i know of. . . . . . . . . . . . . and also via a tinycore browser (Iridium), dialing into a "free remote Linux cloud server" and having access to those galaxy's of free apps you mention . . . . . .(1800 appimage apps will also work on those free servers.. . . ). . . thx c
