[GreenKeys] Wx internet (ittyWx)

[E.]

Group,

A number of years ago — with the great help of Paul, I released two versions of ittyWx for use with a Raspberry Pi and a Volpe board.  Well, for years I let it languish, since I got fed up with my Raspberry Pi 3 B+ ... after while it would just clunk out and refuse to do anything without a restart, with its heaping 1GB of ram.  Then came a huge undertaking of a basement cleaning, which is almost done… so now I’m back at the Teletype.

There's now a Raspberry Pi 5, which I received in the mail late last week.  I’m currently in the process of updating ittyWx to a version 3, using the new hard/software (actually pretty much finished it tonight).  I’m going to a hard stress test on it for a couple of weeks, before uploading it to Github (I think that’s where the others live)… will update everyone if and when it all looks good.

Would also be curious as to how it would act with the new version of the (Volpe) board that has been recently made by others.  Concerning the production run that I set into motion many years ago, the tech person who *should* be fixing the bad ones apologized to me a few weeks ago when I saw him at his store.  His family lives in a town on the front lines in Ukraine, so he’s up every night talking to them before he has to be at work in the morning… hoping that eventually he can get back to them, once everything quiets down *sigh*.
