I can confirm this works just fine on iPad Air 4 with usbc. Been using RPI4 8G with Ubuntu for awhile now.

So you basically made your self a better MacBook experience wise. You combine the usability and portability of your iPad + the full Linux system your pi is giving you instead of using the Unix/BSD like MacOS. Very clever. I like it.

This video was great! Just about everything you said, "I could make another video about ..." was something I would also want to see! Choosing the right tools and knowing how to configure them (and then how to use them effectively) is a big challenge which takes a lot of time - with no guarantee that the user successfully gets everything working. Since you clearly have figured this out for many tools, you could produce a lecture series on each tool, how to set it up, and how to use it effectively.

This video is answering SO MANY of those questions that came up recently to me, thanks a lot!! This is really interesting as it bings up a specific but tremendously versatile use case for the pi while adding a nice insight regarding mobility. This, but it gives me also several clues to issues that I have like "self-syncing" solutions (I already tried out nextcloud but I'll definitely try syncthing). Thanks!! Oh and I'd love to get more informations about syncthings ^^

Great video. I agree Pi 4 makes an USB-C gadget for the iPad Pro. I have been using the official Pi 4 case with fan. It is only marginally bigger than an external ssd. I enable "geo track" within Blink before making my SSH connection to the Pi and this keeps the session alive, although I doubt this would survive a Blink app software update.

@marekschneider6525 2 года назад

About that suspension problem: If you mind paying monthly for a cross-platform ssh-client you can opt for Termius. It syncs SSH keys and hosts between all your devices. On the iPad is has a mode showing itself as a navigation app to iPadOS. This prevents it from disconnecting in the background. Lovely when working across multiple devices. Oh, and it also has a free version...

@tech_craft 2 года назад

A great point. Both Blink and Shellfish have that feature too. I run Mosh for the connection recovery too which the geo-hack doesn't give you. And I have an (ir?)rational fear of giving apps access to geo!

@henryolson9732 2 года назад

Great video and very glad to see you back. I look forward to the follow-on videos you've hinted at. I was inspired by your original video on gadget mode to experiment with the PI4 as a compute accessory for my iPad and I was delighted with the result. Your viewers might be interested in another hardware option based on the CM4 using a piunora carrier board. This works well for me with 8Gb RAM and 500Gb storage on an M.2 B-Key in a package 3 x 2.25 x 1 in. - small enough to velcro to the back of the magic keyboard.

@tech_craft 2 года назад

Such a great idea. I really want to try a CM4, sadly I have been unable to get one for months. As soon as they are available again in the UK, I plan to put a few different configurations together.

@henryolson9732 2 года назад

@@tech_craft Yeah, I definitely had a bit of luck to get my hands on a higher-end CM4. When they become more available, it seems to me that there might be a good kickstarter opportunity to create a built to purpose carrier board and case for this application. Could be smaller and more capable.

Most other solutions usually require wifi which isn't great especially with being mobile. I also discovered mosh as a solution with disconnection. Though with mine I went with the desktop apple keyboard magic keyboard.(you get extra row of function keys compared to iPad magic keyboard). With this configuration I can use the iPad in portrait mode which is handy if I want to see more lines of code. You have brought inspiration and look forward to more discussion with you on these set up .

I've been using a raspberry pi 4 with an iPad air 4 since shortly after your first video on this topic that made me aware of Ben Hardill's work. I have no issues to report. - Power works fine - Data connection works fine (which makes total sense since it's only fast ethernet). - I'm using an anker 13 - in - 1 hub with an anker Nano II 65W charger, I use the same cable you do to the pi and I use a 6' 100w pd emarked cable to the charger. - I use XRDP instead for remote desktop since I honestly think microsoft has the most polished remote desktop client for iOS in terms of a unified touch experience across all remote servers.

@AndersJackson 2 года назад

You can use Emacs, Org-mode and Babel to run python, or any language, on your Org-mode document. So you don't need Jupyter. And as Org-mode, you can export the result to HTML, PDF/LaTeX, OpenOffice etc. There are even some universities that uses Org-mode to create and publish their thesises.

@tech_craft 2 года назад

I use org-mode for literate programming, as well as for agenda/notes etc. The issue I have using it in place of Jupyter is the dodgy visualisation support when running EMacs in the terminal.

@murraydelk9400 2 года назад

This stuff is why I started following you! I’m still waiting to be able to invest in an iPad Pro but I’ve been in love with the iPad & rpi combo since the original iPad Pro with usb-c was released. You’ve showed quite a few nice tools for the iPad before but have you ever found a charger that can double as a USB hub?

@tech_craft 2 года назад

I did have success with the first Zendure 2-in-1 when I reviewed it for their Kickstarter: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2SsLFXUBKX4.html. Since getting the Magic Keyboard I find I need this option less because of the extra port that setup gives you by default.

@LaHoraMaker 2 года назад

Soooo... all this effort makes sense now! Once you start using orgmode is so hard to move to any other tool and don't feel it like a clumpsy substitute! There are so many ideas to try here! I would start checking this combination with the RPi 400 for a double keyboard setup :D

@tech_craft 2 года назад

I've been playing around the RPi400 and portable touchscreen for a nice org-mode experience. The main issue is which of the thousands of different components to choose from!

@TangoFoxtrotWhiskey 2 года назад

This was great, and I love the promotion of Doom Emacs. The interesting thing to me though, was that I setup most of a similar setup without the Pi, just using a Samsung tablet and the AnLinux app. I can't say as I've used it much, but it seems to work alright. Still, great video, thanks for sharing.

@tech_craft 2 года назад

Thanks! I have a Samsung S8 on the way and I’m going to work through that setup myself. Keen to see how far I can go with just the tablet.

@jan_harald 2 года назад

fun fact: on android, you can also install various distros inside termux, termux itself is plenty enough for a lot of mostly-terminal stuff (there's even graphical apps, for which you need a separate x11 server app, or to run a VNC server or something, and sure enough, normal emacs is also in repo) there's even a proot-distro helper, which makes it very simple to run some popular distros, namely Alpine, Arch, Debian, Fedora, Manjaro, SUSE, Ubuntu, and Void Linux, though if you're willing to tinker around a little, or search around github or such, you could potentially add pretty much any distro

@MarkoZen81 2 года назад

Great video. I mainly use JetBrains product, and they have a cool thing called projector which let’s you run their IDE’s in the browser. I haven’t tried them on the pi, but I use them in my cloud linux box regularly. Oh and I use the cheap Ipad 6th gen with Logitech slim folio and it works out really great. For jupyter notebooks when I really need a gpu I use google colab, and you can even get vs code server running there with just a few lines with the colabcode ptyhon package. You can also use jupyter notebooks inside vscode. I realy like that kind of remote development, not having a thick expensive laptop or machine, and leveraging the pi and the cloud for heavier workload when I need them.

I’ve been looking at Projector for my day job, trying to link to something like GitPod. Pretty nice bit of software.

@millerjimd 2 года назад

My 8GB RPi has been decent in this configuration, but it doesn't quite cut it for my day-to-day development work in Scala. Compilation times are too slow for comfort even on my preferred setup of NeoVim and related LSP plugins. That's really the best case for streamlining JVM development, but I still need a bit better CPU horsepower. I definitely love the iPad Pro w/magic keyboard coupled with USB-C OTG though. Great for simpler workflows and basic desktop interactions via a VNC client like Jump Desktop too.

@tech_craft 2 года назад

Scala is definitely a stretch for the Pi. You could offload to a Linux/Mac desktop running Code Server for a bit more power. I’ve been using Tailscale as a solution for easy access back to a machine running at home.

@thestype 2 года назад

I'd like to confirm this setup as well. iPad Pro 2018 + Raspberry Pi 4@1.8 Ghz with 8GB. Networking is set up directly via USB-C Power Cable. Its a fun little setup.

You can run code-server as a progressive web app on the iPad! Code-server has PWA functionality for iOS. Just click "Share", then "Add to home screen".

Another trick is connect the pi to ipad though a usbc hub. It might not work for every hub but in my case I can charge the pi & ipad at the same time use PD passthough on the hub and even power the pi when I disconnect the ipad for whatever reason. I am tempted to make a custom PCB that include CM4 and a USBC hub, and being much slimmer than pi 4. Also, pi4 works with ipad Mini and the size of that just about exactly fit a pi, a hub, and a power bank 🤔

Just fyi, miniforge is the open source version of miniconda. Mainly, it's preconfigured to use their repos instead of the anaconda repos. You can use both if you want to have more software availability but miniforge has more availability overall. They also have side projects such as micromamba and mamba. They tend to be unreliable in that many other software won't check for those. EDIT: Also, there were some limits imposed by anaconda on the use of their repos so long term it may be better to use miniforge.

I've toyed around with using my iPad as a workstation, but isntead of using a Raspberry Pi I just jailbroke the thing and installed ssh, git & other tools. Sadly not that many tools are available in this setup so no vscode, etc, but at least I can compile a jailbreak tweak for the iPad, on the iPad! The major deal breaker for me was the killing of background processes. I'd be working on something in Safari, go to another tab to look something up, and go back to the other tab and all my work has been lost.
