Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

One of the things that has always stopped me going to a Pi for a microcontroller project is that you have an underlying system and all that delay when starting. A microcontroller is largely "instant on" and I like that aspect of a device with intelligence - and the lack of terror in just switching off - no having to have a strict shutdown.

Saw this:

and wondered if you PicroMite boys would like to see if it helps you speed up things.
