Finish work for the day 4:30pm) A couple of gaps in the middle that I generally have to allocate for napping and eating. I have the Pi and various hats and boards for the GPIO. </div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">At the moment I have absolutely nobody around me that has any interest in coding etc to bounce ideas off. I might have some bloody stupid-sounding questions to ask and hope to find answers as I (glacially slowly) work toward my goals. The goals will change over time as the project progresses.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">For my first inane question... Some of the boards I have have sample code solely in C++. As the vast majority of boards use Python it seems a better idea to use Python to do the coding. I do have background in C++/Delphi/Cobol/Basic. How do I use the C++ libraries from Python?</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">20 years ago I used to go to the SWLUG meetings in Wind St in Swansea but that's quite a commute for me right now as I'm located right now in South Carolina.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div><br></div><div class="ydp3e8eefe5signature">Rhys Sage</div></div></body></html>
