I have finally concluded that the only way I can get GPIO in C and Telnet to the LMS server is with two separate programs using separate languages. The GPIO will be in C and the telnet in Python. I can probably read the configuration file in the Python file as well, making it easier. I strioped all the hsingles off the other side of the shed building today. I didn't think I would get the whole thing done but it worked out OK. I fell asleep for 30 minutes after this task. We went out to dinner to BAAN Thai tonight. I had the Pineapple curry pork and a very very nice glass of Columbia Crest Merlot. It was very good. Dinner with tip was $67. Today was Cinco de mayo so we celebrated Thai style.
