Whether I have the ability is yet to be seen. Thanks for the offer of the card, let's wait first to see if I can make any progress that warrants testing. The new breakout board turned up in the mail today, super glad to read your email before I spent the day tomorrow trying to get it working :) > > Regards, > > Wolfram > Cheers Wolfram, Tobin.
