And I snipped in order that a status report wouldn't be 3 pages in the weekly paper. I had a heck of a time trying to get a usable display out of the odroid-c2, until I googled for the specs of the monitor I am going to use, and discovered the darned things highest native display is only a 1366x768. Reset it for that in /boot/boot.ini by sticking the micro-sd in a r/w dongle, waiting for wheezy on the old Dell to auto-mount it, then used a root session of nano to select it. Plugged the card back, in, powered it up and got a perfect 1366x768 image. But the odroid needs a bigger can of nitrous to do it real well, the default display cycle was set for 50 milliseconds. And I could see traffic on the cat5's leds at about that rate, while the monitors update rate was perhaps 3 times a second, so the motion displayed was obviously jerky. But it works, and there is room to crank up the odroid's clock as its only running at 1.5 GHz. With a fan on its heat sink, it can go to about 2.1GHz. So I am also going to slow down the display polling interval on the theory that X will not have to throw away so much data, and will use that time gained to speed up the display. There ought to be a happy middle ground. Any way, I've found a power cord for the odroid, and its screwed to an couple bars of HDPE, the bottom wet with Go-2, and clamped in place on the inside of the door of this big old recycled steel box. I may have some questions later because the odroid is running ubu 16.04 LTS, which means I had to get out my stockmans knife and make a steer out of network-mangler, by setting it so _I_ am the only one who can setup a resolv.conf that N-M can't tear down. That puts a big smile on my face, setting up a static network that N-M cannot destroy. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
