I guess you can use X forwarding

I get what you were trying to do, and it is not a perfect solution, but many people use VNC or some other kind of remote desktop protocol
to remotely control the computer that is running WSJT.

Yes, it would be much better to unload the GUI and the output video
requirements from the poor Raspberry Pi and let that run on some
machine that has a lot more available horsepower. However, as you are determining, that is a lot of work, and the remote desktop thing has the advantage of not requiring any coding at all from the WSJT team.

Hello folks

Sorry if this has already been discussed!

I am Rafael, PU1OWL, and I was thinking if it would be possible to detach the GUI frontend from the modulation/audio/realtime backend of WSJT-X so we can make it a remote module

The architecture I envision is having a remote processor (e.g., some
bulky raspberry pi, a PicoITX i9 board...) dealing with the
mathematical heavy lifting while not having to put CPU into
presenting its GUI. The GUI could be remote, on a PC or another
raspberry pi, or something even lighter... Or maybe even some audio
sink board, forwarding to a hugely capable math processor, to a
lightweight GUI...

I started studying the source code, but I cannot find somewhere to split the code. Has it been tried before?
