It's been a really fun few days taking photos with the DITHRPIX app I made for the @pimoroni.com Badger! Just released the first updates github.com/jonothanhunt... including better sleep management, tutorial on boot and some other speed and usability improvements!

GB Grid Monitor: One for the data geeks! You may know that I recently created an energy and environment dashboard that's available to download on Github.
Suggestions, please, for a 32-bit, X86 Linux, nothing fancy, supports APT, NTP, PPS, serial port, remote access with SSH. On a USB stick (I can download) so I could install from a BIOS prompt. A Raspberry Pi would have done except for 12V serial port input with PPS on the DCD line. Thanks.
Spent the last couple of days setting up my first MeshCom system (APRS portable & gateway). Couldn’t get the nodes boxed as this case from eBay (which arrived very quickly) has a mistake in their Web photo (no. 5). As shown, the front doesn’t fit the base, a 180 degree inversion is required!
