The long awaited update.

The printer does work with some setting tweaks. Just have to slow it down and it's fine. Going to have to try a different printer.

The original piper install had a switch on top that would allow you to save a copy of every wallet printed. At least with the new setup I am doing it does not work. No matter what it saves a copy. THIS IS NOT GOOD. There is a setting in the GUI that should shut it off but it does not I faked the switch with a jumper and it still saves them. I am not sure if this is a bug in the code or something in the different hardware or what. But I did spend too much time dealing with it till I moved on. I revisit it later.

I have a small touchsreen hooked up to it and I am trying to get some basic things working so you can choose the type of wallet. The original allowed a bunch of altcoins and I want to see if I can make it more touch friendly. I have a programmer friend working on that.

Speed is an issue. I increased the entropy settings and well lets face it, it's a RPi so it started to get real slow. Don't know if there is a better way. Reached out to same friend to take a look.

As of now both programming things are hold until after mid January as his kids are coming back from college and then Christmas and New Years and then getting them back to school.

So that is the small update for now. Going to play with printers and printer settings and hope to have more info in a little while.
