Thank you for responding I have moved past the issue.

@luz Thank you very much for taking the time to reply to my question and explaining how Linux calls the various start up scripts. I will take your suggestion of creating a new script and enabling it. @Jon-Gordon Thanks to you as well for your suggestion, I think the first suggestion is more of an answer I am looking for. All the best to the both of you!

@Valeri-V Thanks for the trick!!!

@György-Farkas Thanks you!

you could try downloading & installing a fresh copy of b160 firmware. there is something amiss in the current install/package. you can spend many hours trying to find the problem or get a new copy of the firmware and see if that works.

Thanks, luz! I think I understand the situation much better after reading your response and finding the annotated pinout online.

Thank you, improved power supply made it work. You're right it's the Omega2 (not+).

@György-Farkas Cheers

pls see orange advise on top of page.

@Mark-Gil Where is this coming from?

Like Vinicius said, if you have no real reason to use something like C and can get away with python, if it is not crucial to have a fast initialization time, I would go with Python. Also, the difference between python 2 and 3 is minimal. Really 3 is just making things a little more consistent. Mostly if you change your print "ok" to print("ok") that should do it. I would go with python 2. One suggestion. I have found that it is faster to use os.system() for some things rather than their python equivalents. Perhaps you could look into that? Regards, Sam.

sometime rc.local is not executable out of the box.
