If I remember correctly you can move windows by pressing alt and then click and drag

That worked thank you

I'd like to hear how some of you are optimizing your boot ups. Right now its taking just over 60 seconds from power on until tuner studio is up and running. Any suggestions.

Are you on Raspbian Jessie? Run *systemd-analyze blame* (without the *'s) in terminal. This will show you how long each service took to boot. The longest boot times are obviously the ones you want to focus on. My longest service was hciuart.service, which is bluetooth related. I did not need this so I commanded *sudo systemctl disable hciuart*. You can look up the other services that add lots of time too boot, and figure out if you need them. Save a copy of your image before doing stuff you're not 100% confident in, in case you mess up something.

A lot of people have success with SamplerBox, but it didn't help so much for me, YMMV: http://www.samplerbox.org/article/fastbootrpi

Also make sure you're using a fast SD Card. I'm using a PNY 85 mb/s card. With that card, the above that I mentioned, it takes 15 seconds to boot to the LXDE desktop, then 7 seconds to have TunerStudio loaded. With this setup, I haven't yet got a TunerStudio Project loaded, but I can't imagine that would add more than 5-10 seconds. So in total about 30 seconds from power on to showing gauges.

My RPi2 takes 35s to show values on gauges, connected to the MS.
I haven't optimized boot and I display a video during startup. Wifi is always activated because sometimes I share internet connection with my smartphone, to access the MS remotely.

The 2 last issues make me change my idea to work with a Pi : for me, a car monitoring has to boot and show GUI in less than 1 minute.
I'm now integrating a solution based on a Graperain https://www.graperain.com/ARM-Embedded- ... On-Module/
- dual core CPU 1GHz
- GPU 400 MALI
- 1GB DDR3 RAM
- 4GB NAND flash (like SSD)

What are these 2 issues?
35 seconds to have it fully operational is not correct?
And I have a Pi2, with a Pi3 (1.2GHz) Tunerstudio will be displaying MS data in less than 30s...

Hi there,

Would this Raspberry Pi be sufficient to run?

Yes, but dubious website requiring you to "download app to buy" and get the great price...
Sounds like a great way to pwn people with trojans and spyware, or worse.

I'd avoid it like the clap and only buy from a widely known reputable website.
The Pi3 has been out for awhile now and is only a little more, and is faster.

Here I have the fullscreen runing in about 35s... RPi3 using the lastest Jesse's Pixel Stock, only with more RAM to Video

i just got a pi setup with 7" touchscreen for a digital dash


it will not load my prodject file i am running v3.0.28, my project file loads fine on windows and mac, what i am doing wrong it gets stuck on loading prodject

There is a good chance that on Windows and Mac you are using D2XX. I would open you project in Windows then go to your communication settings and change the connection type from D2XX to Serial default then transfer your project over to the Pi and see if it will open for you.

We go my Pi Dash running today. The cool thing is that we got it sharing the TunerStudioProjects dir with my Windows 10 laptop. I should be able to walk up to the race car and pull the data logs right off thru my wireless network served up by my cell phone. I plan to make a magnet mount setup to mount it to the floor in any race car. Hit data logging and send the driver off. My wireless keyboard also works just fine.

Way cool stuff.

Nice.
I bought myself an ODROID XU4 last week. Still waiting for it to arrive.
Can't wait to get started with it.

I got TeamViewer working on the PiDash today. At this point, I am thinking I can send the driver out with his cell phone and I will be able to see his gauges and tune his car as he is on course. This could be cool on the jetskis where taking a laptop along for a ride is out of the question. I can stay dry and warm on the ramp or in the truck. All thru Teamviewer

Raspberry Pi 3 + TS

Looking at PiCore as a faster boot option than Rasperian

Booted PiCore and yup it's fast. (Kinda lost after boot though)

Has anyone done a buildroot / image for the pi3 + TS as a dedicated dash.

Anyone done a idiots guide walkthrough on a fast boot build plasma showing optimisations to be able to just run TS with rs232 with the rpi? (No other WiFi fluff, i2c, spi Bluetooth etc)

Thanks for your time in advance
