For those asking about charging the Raspberry Pi and iPad while they are connected, I've been testing the Inateck 9-in-1 hub that has a full downstream USB-C port and works great for this use case: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Au2Gtv-gQno.html

@tech_craft 4 года назад

Two questions for you all: 1. Would you prefer to see a roundup-style video like this as a blog post instead? 2. Do you want more Raspberry Pi content? I'm thinking Apple Home extensions, disk sharing, printer sharing etc. Let me know below!

@freesoapisback 4 года назад

Tech Craft please post some more raspberry pi content and some more shortcut extensions

@leromerom 4 года назад

Disk sharing would be great!

@richarddobson4marrickville 4 года назад

Another vote for more rasberry pi content, especially the integration with iPad Pro, your workflow was a mind-blowing revelation to me when I saw it last week.

@zimpower 4 года назад

Please do a video on how you wrap a python program in docker and save to git. Seems like a very interesting way to make your programming projects mobile.

@wallymoon8619 4 года назад

Keep ‘em coming! Nice videos! A blog post would be easier to follow when trying this on our own. I would like to see what else could be done with a Pi and iPad, especially if you find any solutions for older Thunderbolt iPads.

@andrewmowle9132 4 года назад

Answering your questions: 1. Much prefer this way of displaying content rather than in a blog post. I think you provide enough details in your video descriptions that if people want to find out further information they can find it easily enough. 2. Would personally love more content for the Pi. I’ve just ordered my RPI4, so hope to start tinkering with it soon! Excellent video as always, as a new iPad Pro user this is all revolutionary to me!

@markrity 4 года назад

Hi , just found out about your channel and already have seen around 10 of your videos. Great videos and great editing! Keep the great work.

@dallinparker2387 4 года назад

Thank you so much for all your videos, they’re awesome and have helped a ton!

@kylehooper4071 4 года назад

Really enjoying your content. Very helpful and practical!

@ecard0 4 года назад

I knew most of the answer, but wow you were explaining so well. I have been using my pi 4 with my ipad since I saw your first video :) Thanks a lot for your help

@maans2001 4 года назад

Thank you so much for helping people with their iPad pro tech specific stuff ... I wondered of the Pi could be used for the iPad , since I'm using the Pi a lot whether it was IoT stuff or streaming etc etc ... it's awesome to know that it could be used for the iPad as well P.S you've gained a new subscriber, from Saudi Arabia as well (:

@TrophyFish 4 года назад

Way to go the extra mile and a half with all of the questions. Most people wouldn't go that far. Your 1st video did it for me, but not everyone has the same chops. You got a sub for all of your hard work and quality content

@tech_craft 4 года назад

Thanks. I really appreciate that. I wasn’t sure if this kind of video was even something that would be interesting but I’m glad that I did it.

@charleschiang6583 4 года назад

Again, thanks for sharing this video! I actually ordered one Raspberry Pi since I saw your previous video and trying to set up at my leisure time. This video comes in time.:) I love data science and would like to do my Python hobby anytime anywhere with my favorite device - iPad Pro. Pls do share more Rapsberry Pi and Siri shortcut videos. Cheers!

@JohnLaudun 4 года назад

As someone who does some coding in Python, has run into the limits of some of the current iOS Python environments, and uses Jupyter Notebook regularly, I was absolutely taken with your idea and would like to see more exploration in that direction.

@justsergei5356 4 года назад

Dear Rob, thank you so much for comprehensive guide and answering my question. you are great 👍

@pinkdiscomosh2766 4 года назад

Would definitely love a blog post outlining the steps to get this set up working. I’m already looking to get a pie to get this set up for myself. I’m loving this content with the pie. I feel like you can’t find this content anywhere else on RU-vid. You truly got a unique perspective here Rob. Thanks for making this content.

@tech_craft 4 года назад

Thanks. I really appreciate the comments. Going to fire up the website very soon so I can start throwing out some blog posts.

@lumacieszkiewicz4909 4 года назад

Reasons for the lightning issue if you were curious! The 2018 iPad Pros have a new feature which allows you to charge your phone directly from the device. This is a huge change coming from the lightning connector, which has always been extremely limited in power output (even some smaller mechanical keyboards require too much power to work on my 2nd gen iPad Pro. A workaround for this (which I believe was mentioned in the video) would be a battery bank that can provide at least 2ish amps at 5V, with wifi to communicate with the device.

@tech_craft 4 года назад

Great insights! Thanks.

@MattManuel 4 года назад

Probably not the answer you want but for “1” I choose “both”! Blog post and video. And for “2” the answer is “yes please.” Could you do more on disk sharing? Is there a way to replicate the WD Wifi hard disk on the Pi for example? What about running Plex on the Pi and streaming to the iPad?

@ehoenig 4 года назад

GREAT video, great series! If you have time, I would watch another one :-)

@hardillb 4 года назад

You shouldn't need to add the the "sh" to the entry in "/etc/rc.local" but I had assumed that people would know to make the file executable with the command "chmod +x /root/usb.sh". I have now updated the instructions to include this.

@tech_craft 4 года назад

Thanks Ben, and thanks for providing such awesome instructions for the setup.

@ALPERTONIC1971 4 года назад

Thanks Mr. Tech Craft, I love the potential of the Raspberry Pi4. I have just bought one on Amazon and look forward to it arriving to install the software as you described... I used to use a BBC model B micro computer when I was a teen ager - that shows my age, and I think this falls inline with the exploration attitude from that era. All the best and keep up this informative and motivating channel. Kim J.

@user-dc4tz8cz4m 4 года назад

Good stuff! 👍🏼 Would love to see more content combination of iPad pro + python + raspberry pi - beginner programmers like me are always looking to improve our skills. Just a thought. Your presentation skills and no nonsense attitude is just what people are looking for 🙂

@tech_craft 4 года назад

I'd love to do that - stay tuned!

@user-dc4tz8cz4m 4 года назад

@wacheza 4 года назад

Magic ! Thanks very much for the follow up video. Following your first video - I was able to get my iPad Air to connect to a pi zero using the lightning to camera kit (which has a full Usb) and a full to micro cable. I had to use the usb on the pi zero and power it independently (either via power or a power bank). But it’s still a great solution and the pi zero weighs nothing (the cable and adaptor take the same amount of room). Ideally I’d like to share the internet from the iPad (ie just have it connected to WiFi for example - I don’t have an lte iPad)- but I’ll have a play with that as I am sure it’s possible. Great video again and thanks !

@amaclellan3 4 года назад

Would love to see your set up on how to connect to your machine back at home! Cheers!

@beyondcompute 4 года назад

Thanks! Great and useful video!

@etienneb4403 4 года назад

Informative! Thx

@rebeccapierson5498 3 года назад

I just discovered your vids and I use my iPad for almost everything. It beats my laptop hands down. But the limitations that I have when working with Microsoft Office and the lack of storage frustrates me. I’m planning on going to grad school and I think with what your describing will help out incredibly. I’m going to get a new iPad and pursue the raspberry pi for more functionality.

@cedricpod 4 года назад

more RPi thanks your video is fantastic very useful and understandable ..... great presentation

@DywayneWalker 4 года назад

man, you should have millions of followers your videos are great thank you!! I have a question would you use or have you checked out a Jetson Nano?? what do you think about that?

@hukuzatuna 4 года назад

I followed the directions in the links and it works like a charm. I got an active cooling case (fan + heat sinks) from Amazon. I’m using the Anker cables (the red Powerline+) for both the connection to power and connection to the Pi. I got the HyperDrive hub which is quite slick. The power cable is USB-C to USB-C, but the Pi connection is the USB 3.0 to USB-C. I originally didn’t know if this would work, but it’s fine. The only thing I haven’t gotten working is VNC; I get a “cannot display desktop right now” message. I’ll keep tinkering with it. Thanks for the videos! I never would have thought of it....

@tech_craft 4 года назад

I've seen that weird error message before. For me it was because I hadn't set a resolution in raspi-config. Once I did that, everything started working again. Very odd.

@hukuzatuna 4 года назад

Tech Craft Ooooh, yes! I forgot about that. You need to edit /boot/config.txt and set “hdmi_force_hotplug=1” “hdmi_group=2” and “hdmi_mode=46” Thanks for the reminder!

@Konss 4 года назад

Man, that's incredible!!

@vinofakind 4 года назад

Love this! :D

@gegensatz8378 4 года назад

This is great. Thank you

@TheTiivik 4 года назад

Fantastic content!

@HC-tc7gv 4 года назад

Based on your recommendation I picked up a pi 4 for for my iPad pro. Right of the bat ran into a few issues, had to buy a wired keyboard, USB C, a known issue, HDMI interference with WiFi, metal enclosure for cooling compounds WiFi issues. Not so convinced pi4 is a great accessory for iPad pro as you stated.

@DiaaKasem0 4 года назад

Hi ... First of all .. Thank you .. thank you so much for this idea .. I did not have ipad keyboard, or rpi4 .. had previous ones though ... but, I loved the idea that I can code anywhere ... specially that I needed that lately alot, while having only the ipad.. so I bough both. My worst nightmares after buying the keyboard and the rpi4 .. and getting everything working.. ssh vnc etc .. i could not get main programs that I use at work ... that has only 64 bit releases .. not arm ... still trying with chroot .. but so far .. I love it ... Thank you again.

@cveilleux 4 года назад

Hey Rob, these pi and your shortcuts videos are awesome. Great work! I have a question about your pi setup - you’re using powerline for the prompt on the pi, right? Is that the standard powerline config or have you tweaked it?

@cveilleux 4 года назад

Or is it something like oh-my-zsh with powerlevel9k/powerlevel10k?

@alvinfranklin4933 4 года назад

Great video!!!

@roberttlange8607 4 года назад

Dear Rob, just discovered your videos today and I am a huge fan. Keep the great work up! I was wondering if you have thought about doing a step-by-step walk through video on how to set up the iPad Pro RPi setup. I would be super interested and believe others might as well. Have a great weekend.

@tech_craft 4 года назад

I have been thinking about that. I think it would be a nice video to shoot.

@bitkahuna 4 года назад

Just got 4GB canakit pi with cooling fan, heatsinks, 64GB sd card, video cable, etc. i’m not affiliated in any way but have to say it’s awesome. The card comes with OS on it so piece of cake to get going. I did use my PC to run through the initial setup (connected the pi to my 4K monitor, wow), and then did Ben Hardill’s setup to get the cable link to iPad working.

@BlakeEdwards333 4 года назад

Awesome, thanks!!!

@calitb 4 года назад

ahaha. I was trying the guide and I cannot believe I missed that ‘sh’ at the end .... now everything works 😅 tested with the usb-c cable that came with my pixel3

@jcastillox 4 года назад

You had a great idea and your videos are a success:) tnx for sharing iPad Pro standard usb c cable works ? Isn’t mentioned on both videos. .

@mandeepbatra9775 4 года назад

Hi, firstly I'm loving the content on your channel, so please keep up the great quality of work. I got the RP4 working with the IPad Pro, so again thanks for the guide. I have a question though. I have many tools such as terraform that I would love to get working on the RP4, not seen anything explaining how to do this or if possible with the Rasbian image. So would it be possible to have a Ubuntu image on RP4 (which I've seen many videos working) connected to the IPad Pro in the same way as you've setup the the RP4 ?

@tech_craft 4 года назад

For sure it is. I’m not sure if the instructions port _exactly_ across to Ubuntu, but it should be reasonably easy to figure out the differences. Terraform should absolutely run on the Pi. They have an ARM binary which should be an easy install. In general, Raspbian will run most things that you can find on Debian provided there is an ARM version available.

@dustpanboy 4 года назад

I know this is an older video, but I'm just now working on setting up my raspberry pi to work with my iPad. Is there any way to access the localhost and ports of the raspberry pi through the iPad browser. For instance if I'm writing a react app on my pi and I run the development build on port 8000 could I some how navigate to that on the iPad browser?

@gavinwehlburg8084 4 года назад

Hi Rob, I have the 12.9 Second Generation iPad running IOS 13.2.3. So I have a Lightning connector not a USB-C. Will this still work on my iPad with a Lightning to USB-C cable and have you tried this? Would I need to inject more Power by connecting the Apple Camera Adaptor (Lightning to USB-A + Power) and then a USB-A to USB-C cable to connect with the Raspberry? If none of these are suitable, would a Lightning 3 in 1 adaptor with Power + RJ45 + USB-A (3.0) provide an alternative to connect the iPad at GBit via the Ethernet whilst leaving the USB-C free to take a stand alone power supply to the Raspberry. Would value your help. Kind regards Gavin

@tech_craft 4 года назад

In a recent update I show how to connect to the Pi over WiFi rather than USB-C, making for a nice solution for non-USB-C iPads and tablets: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YbvSS8MJm2s.html

@mic03311 4 года назад

Hi there, thanks for your content it is excellent! I just managed to setup rasperbian lite with succes. One question however, how do you replicate the 'tilde' character with the Logitech keyboard or the iPad keyboard? Thanks a lot.

@tech_craft 4 года назад

With the Logitech keyboard there is a tilde key next to the left shift. I don’t have the iPad keyboard to hand to check, but I don’t recall having a problem with it.

@kubburdigital 2 года назад

Maaan, this changes everything

@dusaneremic 4 года назад

Since you’ve mentioned video encoding - have you maybe tried/compare/considered the Nvidia Jetson Nano as a more GPU capable alternative to the Pi?

@damiancavanagh 3 года назад

have you checked out the magic keyboard for ipad and how that changes the charging situation? i am able to charge the ipad through the keyboard’s usb-c port and use the ipad’s to charge an iphone/airpods/etc so think that might solve the issue you spoke about. and the magic keyboard is pretty great for coding in my amateur experience...

@Nakameguro97 4 года назад

I love the RPi, but if I can get some kind of internet connection (even cellular tethering), mosh onto the home machine via Blink appears to be the easiest option. Nonetheless, Kudos for getting this to work! If Apple releases a low-end iPad with USB-C, I'd buy one to try this out! I only have an old iPad Pro with a lightning cable.

@tech_craft 4 года назад

My preference is also to dial back home, but sometimes I just don't like to risk the bad connectivity. For a WiFi-only solution I've been using this setup: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YbvSS8MJm2s.html

@NightlySonata 4 года назад

I'm so grateful I discovered your previous vid and can ditch the laptop once and for all. I just love working on the iPad Pro but there's only so much I could do in terms of programming. Until now! Now I have a pi3 at home for remote and just finished setting up the pi4 to work on my commutes. Couldn't be happier and would love some more raspberry pi content from you.

@graycheng888 4 года назад

I think when you use the pi with a ipad with lightning port, it requires additional power supply to make it work. I have tried to connect a mouse with an Bluetooth adapter to my ipad 6, turns out the set up works with additional power supply.

@marcoleder 4 года назад

So I am using a raspberry pi zero v1.3 and have made the necessary changes to use it over ssh. If I ping my RPzero on my windows computer it works fine. I also set VNC up so it works with Screens and it does work fine over internet, however when connecting to ipad via usb it fails. In settings the ethernet adapter does appear with an ip-adress, however I cannot connect, not with vnc app not with screens... Any ideas?

@duyanh8132 4 года назад

Thanks so much! Was looking forward to this. Just a quick question, so I’ll need the newest RaspPi for this (4th gen)? I only have the 3B+. Will it work with that?

@tech_craft 4 года назад

I’m not totally sure. I don’t think it’s possible in exactly the same way but you can still use WiFi to talk to the Pi

@duyanh8132 4 года назад

Tech Craft ah ok! Guess this will work with a hotspot via the iPhone then too

@Andrew-fw8do 3 года назад

Thanks for these videos. I get the new ethernet connection on my ipad however ssh connecting to 10.55.0.1 gives socket error: unknown error: -1. Any debugging ideas?

@glenhalliwell5727 3 года назад

Is there a remote handheld for the IPadPro 12.9 that can scroll and laser point for pages?

@craigferry2773 4 года назад

Great video. What vnc resolution works best for you? Another solution to the /root/usb.sh is to make it executable `sudo chmod +x /root/usb.sh`

@jan_h 4 года назад

8:50 If you're using an Android tablet, you could use the app Termux. It's a terminal emulator which comes with the APT package manager so you can install programming tools such as Clang and Perl. 11:38 It would be useful if you could use the iPad as a gateway, but that's such an obscure use-case that I know it'll never happen.

@tech_craft 4 года назад

I fully agree about the iPad-as-gateway, it would be a real boon. I recently started using Termux on my Android tablet - really pleasant app.

@Circusfreak182 3 года назад

Does all of this work on iPad Air 4 (with USB-C)? I followed Hardill’s tutorial, but I still can’t SSH into “pi@10.55.0.1” even though the “Ethernet” shows up in settings w/ that IP. I’m not sure if I’m missing something or if it’s just not possible w/ the iPad Air’s USB-C connection (I can power the PI via the IA4 though). P.S. I’m using the Anker USB-C that you recommended.

@andreysadovykh2561 4 года назад

Thanks. Can you explain about configuring chrome cast or better Airplay on Pi? It could be a great connectivity device. I use miracast device with Airplay, but the build quality is awful.

@mosadik9755 4 года назад

can you connect the pi with apple PG ultra fine display ? is there any connector device can be sued ? for example HDMI input to Thunderbolt 3 USB-C output ??

@andrewjoseph9187 4 года назад

Hey awesome video. Where do I start learning command line? Like for ssh etc. Thanks for your content.

@tech_craft 4 года назад

There’s a great tutorial from Codecademy: www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-the-command-line

@SpryCheetah6 4 года назад

This is cool to see the ipad use cases. I work in IT and have a windows laptop that sits at my desk. I have been using my personal iPad Pro for awhile now instead of my laptop for rdp sessions, user account management, and our office 365 stuff. Most things I can do I can use remotely like our servers and user pcs. Emailing and chat I can do on the ipad too. Doing any networking diagnosing is easy with a network troubleshooting app. The only thing I need my laptop for is managing our security system configurations (windows only software) and configuring switch ports and CLI stuff. If anyone knows of a way to do this on the ipad I would love to get informed lol

@681278 3 года назад

I wonder if you can install altserver on raspberry pi [via installing windows 10 *garyexplains*] so the pi can be used as the computer to install/maintain emulators on iPad?

@brendanfarthing 4 года назад

Great videos, mate. Love to know if the lightning iPads (I have the original 10.5" Pro) can connect to the PI via a cable and do the same. Although I guess I can just connect to the PI via wi-fi (wi-fi hotspot on the Pi i mean, where there is no wi-fi network) and just need to ensure the Pi has power.

@tech_craft 4 года назад

I still haven't managed to get Lightning working, but WiFi is a good option, and I'm working on a dual WiFif setup that has the Pi connected to the iPad and the Internet over WiFi

@evok_trip_toke 4 года назад

Would i be able to load a raspberry PI with multiple console emulators. And plug it into my ipad and play those games on my ipad. And even possibly my LG 4k smart TV?

@xTriixrx 4 года назад

I had originally seen the first video and was amazed that I had not thought of using a Pi along with the iPad Pro, I have just recently gotten an iPad Pro myself and am looking forward to using it myself as a backend developer. I however have a question regarding text editors for the iPad Pro. I have been looking around on the App Store for the best editor that would support the capabilities I need with code completion for multiple languages (C-based, Java, Common Lisp, Swift, etc.) as well as use a terminal ssh client to access the Pi's command line to compile/run executables. I have been looking at the Buffer Editor and am about to purchase it for HEAVY development. I am curious if you have used this editor at all or at least heard of it, I haven't been able to find any reviews regarding the editor and to be honest it looks very good.

@tech_craft 4 года назад

I haven’t see that one but I’ll get it because I’m trying to try them all. I’ve been using Kodex on the iPad directly but more often now I’m just using the vim that comes with the a-shell app

@techitint.9100 4 года назад

Hi and thanks so much for your video. Did you try powering the PI from a MacBook Pro USB-C? In theory should work but don't know yet, waiting for a bunch of cables but guess won't see them soon...

@techitint.9100 4 года назад

I apologise :) gave myself the answer with the last test. I tried with 3 or 4 USB-C to USB-C cables (the Apple power adaptor USB-C cable as well) and didn't work. Tried instead a USB-C to USB Adaptor and connected a USB to USB-C cable, Mr PI4 is up and running perfectly.

@iMadScience 4 года назад

Hi! Thanks for the tutorial. I have a question about VNCing on the iPad via Screens. The Pi doesn’t boot to the desktop when not connected to an HDMI device before powering up, so I have to connect my Pi to a screen every single time I want to VNC it to my iPad. Is there anyway to get around this? Like boot to Desktop no matter if an HDMI device is connected or not? Thanks!

@NicBox 4 года назад

Yes, you can set the pi to boot to a gui login or logged in as a chosen user. Use the raspi-config command line tool to enable this. I can access VNC using the realvnc client on the ipad but for some reason screens just wont work for me.

@iMadScience 4 года назад

Nic Box hi, how to boot into Desktop without plugging in the HDMI? Thanks!

@VirtuallyNobody 4 года назад

Hi Tech Craft, many thanks for the great videos to the topic. I use my Raspberry Pi for demo purposes at customers as it is easier to carry than heavier alternatives. Apparently I have missed something. My Pi will not boot when I connect it to my iPad Pro 11. It works like described when I connect it to my Macbook Pro. Do I need to configure something on the iPad to enable more juice for the power-on?

@tech_craft 4 года назад

Sounds like that might be the cable. If your Pi works from a wall socket with the cable, then it's not the cable, but if the cable doesn't work from the wall socket, then you'll need to switch. Tom's Hardware has this list of known working cables: www.tomshardware.com/uk/news/raspberry-pi-4-usb-c-cables-that-work,39869.html

@VirtuallyNobody 4 года назад

@@tech_craft Ok, Thanks, I assumed the cable works when using Pi MBP it would with Pi iPad. I have ordered one of the cables from Tom's Hardware list.

@pm3272 4 года назад

would you by any chance know how I can make the vnc screen of the Pi fit the ipad 12.9 screen? I'm using vnc cloud btw.

@tech_craft 4 года назад

VNC definitely works and works well. I've tested VNC Viewer, Screens and Jump Desktop. All work well. VNC Viewer is from the RealVNC folks so I suspect it will work with VNC cloud but haven't tested it.

@henryballard2723 4 года назад

Transcoding with ffmpeg? How does the pi 4 handle that? I’m interested in running an Emby server on a Pi 4 and have lots of dvd rips and .mkv files that need transcoding to view on iOS devices (transcode to mp4).

@tech_craft 4 года назад

It really depends on what transcoding you're doing. The Pi 4 has hardware acceleration for encode/decode on h264, so encoding to that is acceptably fast. I'm still tweaking my configuration and plan to put out a video about it in the next few weeks.

Great videos! It is my first week with a Raspberry Pi 4. Most things work fine but the after opening a jupiter notebook, they won't connect, either through juno connect or over vnc.

@mannkeithc 3 года назад

I tried all the things you mentioned plus a USB-C hub to connect my Raspberry Pi 4 via its USB-C port directly to my iPad mini (5th gen) lightning port and I couldn't get it to work. It works fine if I run the Pi headless and connect the iPad to my Pi via my local network using a ssh client such as blink. I prefer using RPD for remote GUI access to the Pi, since the RDP protocol also supports audio, but you need to compile the pulseaudio xrdp modules on the Pi to get this to work. I am also finding not all RDP clients are equal. The Windows 10 remote desktop connection app works well, as does Microsoft's RDP app for iOS, but Microsoft latest Android app version has poor latency performance, worse than its previous version. I have yet to try the MacOS version of the RDP client. The Xtralogic RDP client for Chrome OS also works well. I have used VNC, but the free version doesn't come with audio support.

Many thanks for the good video documenting! I'm sorry to take your time, with something I should be able ot fix myself, but I'm wondering how you installed Jupyter Notebook on the Raspberry. I've given it a few tries through the Arm Conda ( latest ), but it ends up having trouble getting the ipython kernel going. Any help would be greatly appreciated for sure!

I used pip3 for installing on the Pi. Saves messing about with trying to get a version of Conda working.

@Tin00E 4 года назад

@@SandwichMitGurke As Onnie Koski says below, there is a USB to lightning dongle that you can plug a USB/RJ-45 adapter into. The lightning port can not do networking directly like a USB-C port does, so the need for the above kludge. The USB to lightning dongle needs to be a model that has a power lightning input into it as the RJ-45 adapter will otherwise draw too much power and won't connect to the iPad/iPhone.

@andresvaldevit3692 4 года назад

I have been intrigued by this setup for sometime since I saw your first video but I cannot wrap my head around if it’s remotely convenient for me or not and my conclusion is “no”. I have the 2018 iPad Pro model too and I think this thing awoke everybody’s wet dream of having an ultraportable setup with no compromises but sadly iPadOS is locked AF, I have my beef too with the Files App (it doesn’t work, period) and doesn’t resemble its full feature parent, MacOS, if it would, even a little, I wouldn’t have the need for a laptop AT ALL, I’d buy directly a desktop rig. Now I get that this setup is good for your coding needs but in my case, I wouldn’t know where to start with the Pi machine but I’d like to do a similar setup with small windows NUC to have access to all the programms limited to Windows only.

@RyanManly 4 года назад

Do you (or anyone reading) happen to have a working method for file sharing to Files.app? I’ve got a pi4 + iPad Pro all working perfectly via USB-C cable but for some reason I’m not able to get a working smb connection. I’ve only spent a short amount of time on it…I basically copied some share settings from a working smb.conf on another system, but I can’t figure out what is wrong.

@tech_craft 4 года назад

Ryan Manly That’s very weird because I have exactly that working. Fire your settings over to me at rob@techcraft.co and I’ll take a look. Stupid question but are you able to read/write to the folder/drive from the Pi itself?

@bombapiotr 4 года назад

I think you should add a PiJuice or similar UPS hat to the setup. It will save you some time when you want to sent shutdown command to Pi and quickly unplug the cable.

@gadget5129 4 года назад

I’m wondering if the lightning based iPads would be able to connect to an RP using a powered USB hub. I still use my 10.5” iPad Pro. Just haven’t seen a need to pay the money for the newer iPads yet. And the lightning issues seem to be predominantly, if not entirely, due to power constraints. Do you think this will work?

@tech_craft 4 года назад

I tried a powered hub and it didn't work. Maybe the hub didn't have enough power?! At this point, I think a different approach is needed for the Lightning-based iPads. One that has the Pi get power from one place with network connection handled differently.

@gadget5129 4 года назад

Tech Craft So, you’re saying that the RP could draw enough power to work properly connected to the powered USB hub, but it still didn’t work with the iPad?

@tech_craft 4 года назад

Brian Gardner yeah, I couldn’t get any further with it. I think WiFi is the key for older iPads, and somebody in the comments pointed me at an open source project that provides a really nice interface over the WiFi that I think simplifies that workflow enough for it to be widely useful. I’m going to see how far I get with it over the weekend and I’ll put out some material next week.

@MaxLenormand 4 года назад

Nice video, thanks! +1 for the comment saying more Python! Also, you mentioned you did some data science. What can you reasonably do with such a setup? Some data exploration? Maybe light machine learning with being able to install sklearn on the Pi? Really curious on that, because I’m getting pretty frustrated with Juno not being able to get some machine learning libraries. A bit more technical I guess, but would love to hear your feedback! :)

@tech_craft 4 года назад

Very little machine learning, but plenty of data preparation, data exploration and basic notebook creation. My rough process is that I'll take a random sample of the data, work on it on the Pi and then when I'm back connected to a bigger machine, I'll use the same code, but just switch in the bigger dataset. It's not perfect, but it's way better than being stuck unable to work.

@MaxLenormand 4 года назад

@@tech_craft Thanks for the answer! Seems like all of that should be doable with pandas, matplotlib and numpy, in Juno then?
