      @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:

      https://www.amazon.com/Alegant-4-phase-Stepper-Mega2560-Duemilanove/dp/B018RTXQTC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1466026185&sr=8-1&keywords=BYJ48

      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.

      Sorry, that post was meant to be a reply to @MattSpeller and his robot arm project . Fat-finger-on-small-touchscreen-syndrome.

          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.

                              I'm actually looking at another house this afternoon, it needs work, but if we can get it for the right price it'll be a good step up.

                                  I looked at three or four houses last week. The one that I am most interested in is not for sale, but several of the owner's cousins and their local priest all think that they will sell to us so their cousins are asking them about the idea. The property is great and has like 2.5 acres of land... enough to be flexible but small enough to not be a burden. And the next door building is... a moonshine hut!!

                                        We might be, my aunt sells houses and she was like you still want to sell (we tried years ago and gave up), I was like sure why not. So she has a possible buyer. We will see what happens there.
