Many thanks for sharing your point of view Aura. I definitely understand your concern.
I also would like to find a robust solution for working with my favourite tools on the go. I used Mario's one but found it a bit difficult to maintain in the long run. I know an other person on the list who is using a Pi Zero W in an Active Star but with the regular Raspbian, which is perhaps a bit easier to maintain but I always had difficulties to pair the Active Star. To answer your quesiton about power. There is a compartment in the Active Star that has been designed so that you can put a mobile phone in it. A wire arrives in this compartment that is connected to the ActiveStar's Battery. You can plug your Raspberry Pi Zero W to this cable and then it will get its power from the battery of the braille device. If you consider using Android, you may have a look to Termux. Then you would need to use only brltty as a screen reader. I would be very interested to hear about experiments done by others in this direction. Best wishes, Sébastien. _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
