Don't know if I have placed this message in the correct area, if not move it.
is it possible to use BackSeatDriver cross platform: Windows, Mac?
I figure there are open source equivalents for the components that reside in Backseatdriver that can be complied on a Windows 10 or IOS OS.
Just wondering.
Is this what you mean?
Autonomous Arduino Robot control library in C++. Easily drive various kinds of robots without blocking or sleeping. Supports servo-based bots and DC motor based using Adafruit Motor Shield.

lol @s243a .
@ndujoe1 , I have asked myself the same question once upon a time.
Back Seat Driver is well documented in the Puppy newsletters.
But I've never attempted to port it. Would take a lot of work anyway.
I have used puppyphone (psip) in debian though.
There are more apps developed in the Puppy house that could be general gnu/linux apps with little effort.
They are often scripts using some dialog lib.
Shell is the most used programming language in Puppy, which should make them very portable.
But they remain puppy's "little" secrets.
I use BSDriver with windows, kind of. I have a Fatdog computer which I then use the RDP / VNC into Windows. Or, I run windows in a VM on the Fatdog box, so can use BSDriver to run windows that way.
I did have some ideas of running BSDriver on a raspberry pi, but couldn't get all the dependencies working (and didn't bother too much because I had the fatdog solution). My Pi runs raspbian, it might be easier to get BSDriver running on a Puppy Pi OS, and then using it to connect to windows.
