        I'm getting ready to go on my first real vacation in what feels like eons... (It's really been only a year or three). Going to go hang out with the wife's family for two weeks!

        So... I'll likely be mostly not on here while I'm gone, but you know how that goes. Heading from Georgia to Iowa by car... ~18hrs on a good run.

                    @travisdh1 Normally yes, because of the timing. But you can use stepper motors which works pretty well with RPis.

                    This is a good one for roughly 2-3 dollar incl. a ULN2003 controller board:

                    If you're just using the steppers to turn the knobs and things on the controllers I suppose. I was assuming you'd want to directly control most of it using the electronic controllers. Adding local controls is easy, the only difficult part is making sure you're using the correct signaling going to the models.

                            Drove all night to get to Bucharest. We are camped out in the hotel by the airport now. We leave first thing in the morning.

                              I'm setting up XenServer on the first of the two host.

                              Sadly XS doesn't see the 16GB SD card, but it does see a 16GB USB.

                                Is there a BIOS setting to make them look like SATA devices or similar?

                                      A benefit for us to installing to USB is that I have plenty of 16GB USB's to clone too..

                                          I had issues running XenServer from USB. not sure if it was just the USB or the Dell Server but had to install on local disks to get it booting and responsive.
