+====== pyDarts won't run ======
+If your pyDarts software won't start, that's probably because you use a x32 system (processor with a 32 bits architecture). pyDarts binary can only run on a x64 architecture. If you really need to use a x32 system, like on a Raspberry Pi, please use pyDarts from source code.
-====== My issue is still there ! ======
