Windows vs Raspberry Pi?

Does the raspberry pi version have any advantage over other versions (windows)?

I have a (mostly) working 3D printer that uses an ultrabook as it's host and an Arduino mega/RAMPS board.
It would be easier for me to just install NanoDLP on the ultrabook.
Would I need to modify the Arduino/Mega to work with NanoDLP?

Re: Windows vs Raspberry Pi?

Raspberry version has couple of big advantages:

* It is lower level implementation so working much more reliably and better performance considering hardware constrain of RPi
* Does not require windows or Linux GUI. So less chance of issues.
* RPi use much less power than laptops/PCs and you could keep it running for months and years without issues. It is not case of consumer electronics such as Laptops and PCs.
* Much cheaper than laptop/PC
* GPIO Pins is something you could not find on laptop and pc

Raspberry Pi disadvantage:

* Hardware performance, only matters for slicing

Does a windows laptop have to be online to use nanodlp? My ultrabook is not online.
I am getting the error "Could Not Write to Status JSON File public/status.json open public/status.json: Access is denied."

No, it does not need to be online.
Try run it with admin right.
