[Oberon] Ofront+

[Pablo Cayuela]

Dear Oleg,

Thank you for informing us about your project. By the way it is impressive.
I've been also checking some other project from your GitHub, Armbox.
Could you tell us if that project works on the Raspberry Pi and what I need
to do in that case?
Thank you again.
