Also - depends on what you need from the external you are calling - use OPEN PIPE instead.

Re: Contribute to the maintenance of the project
Excellent sentiment. And an interesting proposition for any/all who have profited by involvement in FB. I have read all the posts related to contributions. I WOULD give $$$ - if possible, non-profit or otherwise. Personally, once upon a time I thought I could contribute in code/review/development, e...

Re: Chatting with AI
At least for this discussion, though, don't mix apples and oranges. When you say AI, I think we all mean/imply general AI as a problem solver. *This* AI is ChatGPT - the intent is to produce a reply that will accepted by the person asking the question. While some facts must be present to be believab...

Re: Chatting with AI
I think what those responses demonstrate is, by 'learning' apparently successful conversational technique from social media, that social media is toxic.

Re: I2C to ADS1115
pigpio is a very robust. complete, mature system. Not small. I reviewed what I have, and see that a 'little' more might be needed. I am composing an email to you describing what I have. With a direct reply to me, I will send zips with my libraries, etc. We can make it work on the side, then share la...

Re: I2C to ADS1115
try pigpio. I was a lot happier with it even before WiringPi was deprecated. http://abyz.me.uk/rpi/pigpio/ I don't even remember what issues I had with it - it was that easy. If you bump into a problem, ask. Its been awhile but I should be able to help you. The 'default' included libs in Pi (and Lin...

Re: MULTIKEY , Is the code correct?
My early cls : print etc. is just to give a clear space to view the output from the top of page. As I said in the remark: I would never print or do any extra activity during a critical test loop. I run code like this in seperate threads and export (retrieve?) the value from a 'main' control loop. Bu...

Re: error 51: User Defined Type too big
The OP is asking about how to implement his desire in programming.
He is not asking that his application intent be judged. That is his choice.

Re: Nesting TYPE (temporary) keyword does not support multi-level inheritance structure
@fxm: "Indeed, for a non-advanced user ..." Agree. But can we at least have a reference to advanced docs make that distinction clear somewhere? It would be a shame to already have all this deep knowlege unrecorded. (Sorry, fxm. I do not mean to lay more work on you or anyone else.) david

Re: Weird behavior in fixed length strings
I read, then re-read these string discussion threads over and over, again and again. Perhaps I am missing the point of these threads. Yes, once in a very great while, a bug is uncovered. But usually: In terms of the concepts of human usage, strings are a very complex topic when attempting to impleme...
