    Hi,
    after some initial problems with the first beta release of UDOObuntu for my UDOO Neo Basic KS ed. I downloaded and installed succesfully the RC1 release of UDOObuntu, and I'm happy to see WiFi now works properly, together with a really well designed interface of the Web Configuration Panel, good job.
    So I have a Macbook with El Capitan, and I'm able to connect to UDOO through USB direct connection, through its WiFi IP, and through SSH and VNC. I tested also the Arduino editor in the Web Configuration Panel and it works. It's really fascinating to be able in principle to upload an Arduino sketch to the board wirelessly.

    Unfortunately, I didn't succeed in connecting my Macbook's Bluetooth keyboard, when using it as a computer connected to a monitor via HDMI cable. I also see that VNC is extremely slow, so it's not a much useful alternative.
    My Neo simply doesn't see the keyboard when I search for Bluetooth devices. Is there something else I should do before being able to connect a Bluetooth keyboard? Is the Apple Magic Keyboard in some way different from other keyboards? Someone else succeeded in connecting a Bluetooth keyboard with UDOObuntu RC1?
    Thanks

    Dear Vinz87,
    I'm very happy you managed to get everything working, I remember you encountered some problems at the beginning but now you made it! Good!
    Anyway, after a first check it seems that Apple Magic Keyboard needs some module that is missing in UDOO's kernel. We'll add them in the next release.
    The speed of VNC however depends on the speed of your Internet connection. Check it.
