I wish to run CHIRP on a Raspberry Pi Zero W in the field, where I may not have a laptop. I wish to connect to the Pi from a smartphone via WiFi and run CHIRP in a web page. Clearly, I could do this using VNC, but the CHIRP UI appears to be oriented toward a real screen of at least 1024x768 or so. SO: is there a UI that will fit better on a smartphone screen?
Another alternative might be to run CHIRP on Android and connect a programming cable to the smartphone's USB port, but my Android skills are weak. I will have the Pi in the field anyway, since it will be running Direwolf.
Incidentally, CHIRP is really impressive, and it appears to just work when I run it on my Gentoo desktop.
