And failed, realtimepi builds an older 4.14 kernel for buster, which stops booting at a text login on tty1, and has no keyboard/mouse so no login possible. And my feet are killing me. Only about 14C with a good 20 KT wind, had the garage door open so I could put a new blue oval sign on the tailgate which I had backed up against the garage door. All the blue was gone from the OEM decorator, looked like crap. Time to go get the misses her daily fishwrap, and whatever for dinner if I don't have it. And I still need that units conversion module, or I have to cobble it up with a couple scale's and a mux4 some of which can go in the slower jog- thread. But that can wait till I've transplanted the pi4 into the lathe. That may happen over the weekend if the warmer weather promised yesterday materializes. Those teeny little, and cheap peristaltic pumps showed up today, hooked one up to a 12 volt supply, looks promising. 5 watts, I might be able to run it direct on the 7i76 field outputs. And maybe not, thats a fat 400 ma. And its inductive. Thanks Andy Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
