[GreenKeys] Twitter and the Mod 28

[Denton Turley]

That's the same vein of a project I have been working on.  Due to my lack of programing skills, the Raspberry Pi interface has been slow going.  I am very interested in how your "box" works out.  There doesn't seem to be any reason it shouldn't work once you get the 5 v interface for the pi, which is 3.3v. Its a matter of putting all the puzzle pieces together. My 6 meter Clansman radio project is currently easing my frustrations at the moment and i plan on getting back on the horse soon.
