OpenPlotter 2 roadmap

[Max1947]

OpenPlotter 2 is in alpha stage. Now OP consists of independent applications. For the first time, we open the door to the entire Debian family and even to other hardware. However, the most interesting applications remain exclusive for Raspberry.

Testing

You can test it installing the latest Raspbian. Since we do not need the recommended software, we recommend just Raspbian Buster with desktop. Then, open a terminal and install the dependencies:

Code:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install python-configparser python3-wxgtk4.0 python3-ujson whois

and finally you have to install openplotter-settings, the main application. Go to the repository and download the latest deb package: https://github.com/openplotter/openplott...s/releases

After download the deb file, you can install it with double click or typing this in a terminal:

Code:

sudo dpkg -i openplotter-settings_x.x.x-xxx.deb

To open OpenPlotter 2 and start playing with it go to the Main menu->Others->OpenPlotter settings. You must install the rest of applications from the list in OpenPlotter Settings.

• Advanced: OpenPlotter-Gen is a super-script to build OpenPlotter images and NOOBS files from scratch. You will be able to create OpenPlotter flavors easily.
  

Helping us

We have developed an application openplotter-myapp which is a template with the basic structure of an OpenPlotter app with comments to make easier developing your own app or help us with any pending app. If you have python skills and want to help, contact us to coordinate.
