Sounds interesting. Another use case clould be to use a raspberry pi as a router between the 3/4G internet connection and your local lan, in case one has no wired connection (e.g. while on a building site :)). I looked into the tarfile and it seems only require libusb (a version without tcl support is mentioned in the README). Do you have asked because you haven't time to start working on it? No promises, but I may a look at it at the next rainy weekend, but shurely testing will be up to you then. kp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: leaf-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user Support Request -- http://leaf-project.org/
