uccnc and raspberry

[alfre]

Hi guy!! A bizarre question: Can Uccnc software run on Raspberry PI 3 board with windows 10 IoT? thanx.

No, it only works with CNC Drive motion controllers.

Excuse me I explained wrong: I meant to use raspberry as a PC and load in UCCNC as software controller. After connecting via Ethernet the Uc400eth. I hope it's more understandable. Thanks again

That would be very nice!

We did not try that, but I think that it will not work, because the UCCNC is using OpenGL hardware accelerated graphics and it requires a relatively powerful GPU.
I don't think the Raspberry PI has that, but more powerful mini PCs work fine, e.g.: http://shop.cncdrive.com/index.php?categoryID=137

Sorry, I didn't read it properly

I've tried installing Windows 10 on the Pi per a Reddit post and I was never able to get to the desktop and I've also tried Exagear on it with no luck.

Meanwhile technology progressed some more.
I was looking at the Raspberry Pi 4B and notice that it now supports OpenGL ES 3.0 graphics, it is also capable of 4K display. So now I thinks it is getting worth it to test it on a pi?
Unfortunately in general there is no linux built for UCCNC? Is that even on the table for the future, or do we have to keep up with the windows mess?

Refer to the PI4B specs: https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-4-model-b/specifications/
