Typically Box Of Stops must be run as the Superuser, to give it the rights it needs on the Raspberry Pi.
For those interested, the reasons for this are:
- The web interface (e.g. http://192.168.1.128) runs on port 80. Only the superuser is allowed port numbers below 1024.
- Note this can be changed from the Application properties
- To enable access to the Gpio ports
This is done by using the sudo command. For example when Starting and Stopping Box Of Stops.
