Hi, I sometimes use Processing for Pi and I really appreciate so much contribution from the community. However, I found that the documentations are scattered and I had hard time figuring out opengl error I had.
First I found
but it’s just a blog post and also the comments are already disabled.
The only thing I found from processing org was on github
and this provided me the exact info I needed (in Experimental Graphics section).
The point is that raspberrypi org’s docs are somewhat insufficient, which is lacking the info about opengl driver to use some of the features - but there’s no way to suggest changes to their website. Rather I think processing.org should have a documentation or at least point people to github wiki so that they can also find out about opengl driver issues.
Hi micuat!
I believe there is a group of students working on a website and set of tools for Processing on Raspberry Pi, and they were conducting surveys. Check out the thread here. Perhaps you can drop them a line or fill the survey and voice your suggestions as that will ultimately help them out.
Thanks for pointing out the fact that docs are all over the place, this is a big problem that my GSoC mentor, @gohai, and I are currently working on solving. There’s new website that went live a few weeks ago that will be dedicated to Processing on the Pi: https://pi.processing.org where we will be centralizing content related to using P5 on the Pi.
I understand that currently we don’t have info pertaining to the opengl driver specifically. I created an issue in https://github.com/processing/processing-pi-website to capture that and we might be able to move that content over at some point soon.
Meanwhile, feel free to comment on the issue https://github.com/processing/processing-pi-website/issues/22 about what specifically was helpful to you and if there was something else you discovered that is not currently in the Wiki. The repo for the new site I believe is also open for PRs and contributions which are welcome!
