Nope, the problem was one of the motors got stuck, something with the electronics drive IIRC.

I have 2 big Sitecom USB hubs in use on 2 Raspberries that also power 2 3 TB USB harddisks, one for each raspi.

I like to keep things as simple as possible ;-) was looking at some old code 33,357 lines of C total.

was a lot of code for some other project.

Yes, I got that, but I thought you might have used the Forth command line to debug the problem.

Do either one allow power control through the USB port? I expect you don't need that with drives.

Yes, 33,000 lines of code is a lot. One of the concepts used in Forth is modularization of the code in ways that result in the code being much smaller, both the source and the executable. Like I said, it's not uncommon to be able to install Forth onto the target in as little as 8 kB of Flash.

Well the USB hubs each run on a wallwart, so unplug it and power is off? You can also power the raspi from it, or from its own wallwart.

All that PIC code for 18F14K22 and smaller PICs fits in less than 8 kB even the pic scope does (was full that is where I stopped adding stuff). All depends what it has to do!

It helps a lot not to have to link in huge libraries, IF you can write that code yourself. World is full of bloat... Bloat sells (hardware too, Microsoft deep state sort of thing, updates need more net speed).

Yeah, you aren't getting the idea of "remote".

Ok, thanks for your input.

xlsfonts here shows 10,598 fonts installed on my laptop by default.

Have you tried them all?

And that is on an 11 year old Slackware install: uname -a Linux panteltje20 2.6.37.6 #3 SMP Sat Apr 9 22:49:32 CDT 2011 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2430M CPU @ 2.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Anyways just finished some X11 code for 2 applications that now compile both on X86 and ARM (Raspberry Pi4). Dropped libXt, no longer needed, only using libX11 Faster and better. No more Imake files, just a simple Makefile. And portable to almost any system. Here is one:

Your turn to show us something or STFU. :=)

You sound like a 10 year old when you post such challenges. I expect that from the likes of Larkin. I don't get why you would even respond to such a pointless post as his.

Then again, I don't know why I am responding to a pointless post as yours... I'm just sayin'.

You could bother to read the link I gave as a pointED answer Just babbking here to spread advertizing to get free miles for your 'lectric vehicle does not teach anybody anything.

No, just more BS. You do the same thing as many others here. You make noises about discussing technical stuff, but your posts here are now just ego trips and BS. You didn't post the like so you could discuss anything. You posted it so you could follow it up with "STFU" to Cydrome. I don't really care. I just find it humorous when people climb up on high horses to claim they are doing the right thing and others are not.

Whatever. It's s.e.d Jake.
