Are there published requirements for Firecontrol computing needs yet?
CPU, Memory, MIn drive size etc…?
Will it work with a touch screen or game controller?
Is it mostly GUI based or do you need to use the keyboard frequently?
I may have missed this in a thread, so a link would be appreciated.
FireControl will work with full versions (non-S) of Windows 7+ (we are not testing with XP as of yet and make no guarantees there) and MacOS for as long as they support OpenGL (all modern versions).
Hardware requirements are minimal- these are not hard requirements and you will likely be able to run the software on most modern computers. We run it on barebones laptops with:
Processor: 1.6Ghz+
RAM: 4GB
Available Disk: 100MB
We have not tested or developed for gaming controllers but touchscreens and wireless keyboards will function fine.
While there are buttons for everything in the UI, there are a number of keyboard shortcuts available such as jogging, toggling between jog modes, start/pause programs. More details on this will be available in the FireControl User Guide.
I have to purchase a new computer anyways, because my XP and old OS do not meet the requirements of FireControl. I realize you say Windows 7+ and new OS, but what will be the smoothest windows operating system to run FireControl (7, 8, 10, home/pro)? Thanks for the help!
