That is the opposite of easy
Why is the thread titled "easy" when it is not easy?
Reminds of the time I tried it, too. It took like a year!
Three years ago it
was easy!
Thanks for your comments as I hope to make things more clear (also hope to create a wiki page if get it working again like 3 years ago).
Many people probably have a device in their home or business that has a computer in the device and it "happily" does it's work by itself for weeks. But how easily can you change just a single setting in the device when you need to? This is what has come up to me repeatedly in the past few years. If you are a full-time programmer and develop nice GUI apps for sale or for a product
this topic doesn't apply to you (so please don't confuse us simple nerds
).
http://www.ctrlterm.com/ is a
very simple and
easy way to use a 7 inch Windows tablet, and the touch screen works without any extra code.
https://atmosphere.anaren.com/products/bluetooth-smart-development-kit is also "fairly" simple and allows you to use a smart phone (or an inexpensive tablet).
If you know of other ways to use inexpensive devices that are
easy (for a non-programmer) please share! Another example of use: I know a company that manufactures (low volume) equipment for business use. Adding LEDs and switches on the (waterproof) equipment (to change settings) is expensive, but using serial, Ethernet, or Bluetooth and a separate inexpensive device to change settings is
very attractive! Yes, with Free Pascal and desktop PCs this is
easy.
Three years ago I hoped that Free Pascal (and Free Vision) on inexpensive Android tablets would be an option. We'll see...
