Buwizz + Raspberry pi 4

[DI1]

Hi, I am currently working on a project. In this project I am trying to recreate a harbor where I have several buwizz 3.0 blocks. I want to control this via a Raspberry Pi 4. I want to use C# for this, ultimately I want to build a web interface in .NET to control this. Can anyone help me with this because I can't find much about it myself.

What OS do you use on the Pi? I would go for Python and/or Node-RED. C# and embedded systems aren't a very good match in my opinion. I have experience in C/C++/C#/Pascal/Python (and PHP, some VB(.Net), but I think the way to go on a Pi is Python.

Sorry for the late reaction, im currently using Debian Linux 12. The reason i wanted to use C# is because there repo where someone made a controller for the buwizz brick, but i cant get it to work on the RPI.

Thanks for sharing @DI1. I get you. It uses something like Xamarin. Maybe you could try Gemini or ChatGPT at least to get you started. I don't think .Net is very suitable for Pi even though there were attempts to run Windows for ARM on a Pi (see e.g. https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=349065).

What would u advise me to do? because the controller does have everything i need. But i just dont know if it would work on a RPI 4

Hey, I wrote the BC2 app. Now it's based on MAUI and as such it has has very good interop with the Android and ios subsystem. But I'm not sure about linux. So you would need to implement the bluetooth interface for it by yourself.

Python? - I don't know ...
