I guess it's possible they both have the same eeprom hash value. I can find out if perhaps the i2c hash is better (I haven't looked at that code though). I added the PointNix camera support, so I can probably find out the i2c hash if that helps us. I'm just concerned about cases where we are poking the GPIOs. This could destroy hardware if abused by users that don't know any better. Devin -- Devin J.
