PiPedal is controlled via a clean compact web app that's suitable for use on small-form devices, like phones and tablets, although it works gloriously with desktop browers as well. You should not have to carry around a laptop to control your PiPedal when you're out gigging; and the web interface for PiPedal has been designed with that scenario specifically in mind. PiPedal has been designed with compact display formats, and touch user-interfaces in mind. Just connect to the PiPedal Wi-Fi access point with your phone, and you have complete control over your PiPedal.

## Building and Installing PiPedal

PiPedal has only been tested on Raspbian, and has limited testing on Ubuntu Studio. But pull requests to correct problems with building PiPedal on other versions of Linux are welcome.

To build PiPedal, a Raspberry Pi 4B, with at least 4GB of memory is recommended. You should be able to cross-compile PiPedal easily enough,
|
||||
but we do not currently provide support for this. Consult CMake documentation on how to cross-compile source.
