[BRLTTY] BRLTTY and Raspberry PI

[kperry at blinksoft.com]

Options?  I have not given it any options.  So I am not sure what I should
give it for a Orbit reader 20 (Not plus).   Or an Orbit Reader 40.  Can you
send me what the lines should look like for those two?

The master branch is the latest development code. The tags are for official
releases.

>So far I have not been able to get the orbits to work in emulation mode

As I recall, that's true. The emulation mode is close, but, at least for
brltty, not close enough.

No - just build from the master branch.

After you do the make (but not the make install), cd to the top-level brltty
directory and do: ./run-brltty

You give the run-brltty wrapper script exactly the same options as you'd
give to brltty directly.

Also, note that you probably need to log in as root and run it from there.
