Efficient Raspberry Pi Interface for Coding

If you love to tweak and experiment with computers the Encoding Decoding Interface is a godsend. Its easy-to-use Raspberry Pi compatibility makes it an ideal tool for coding.The interface also has a sleek design and comes at a fantastic price point. The only downside is that it might not be the best option for people who are not as tech-savvy. Overall, a must-have computer component for any computer enthusiast..

Pros
  • Can be used to encrypt and decrypt sensitive data securely
Cons
  • Requires some knowledge of coding and Raspberry Pi systems to use effectively

Driver installation process involved

Note that the drivers for this are not included in the Raspberry Pi OS (formerly known as Raspbian), so be prepared to install them yourself. A guide is available on the Waveshare website as a PDF manual. And basically you need to clone the github repo and then use the provided script which uses dkms to build the driver (loads the kernel headers). And this process doesn't always go smoothly. I couldn't get it to work with the latest Buster image, so I decided to install an older stretched…
