And I have set a policy that stuff I add using a gpio, will be added from the top down. I am just now wiring up the stuff above. But with colder weather setting in, I am going to have to skid it in into the garage another foot to get working room behind it to do that wireing with that super insulated door closed. From the above, it looks as if I am using your driver. Does it replace the spi drivers I am preloading? In any event, I haven't had the spi do any miss-cues that I know about yet. The biggest problem has been the bridging jumpers, the metal in the contacts is very poor and I am considering using an old ide cable for the pi end, and terminating the needed wires one by one in in the correct width of connector for the 7i90, just to get decent gold flashed and springy metal into the contacts. The male to male jumpers I purchased turn out to be some sort of grey metal whose springyness resembles pure lead. Any rotation on the square post opens up the contact to zero pressure and requires ejecting the contact and rebending is for much more spring pressure. I have the same problem with the 7i90's i/o. Buying those jumpers with quality gold flashed, good spring pressure contacts cannot be done on fleabay, I've spent hours looking, and they are ALL the same junk. At about the same price.
