Re: [Motion-user] BT878_MAX 4

[Moses <mo...@ne...>]

Jtd,

A reliable setup with more then 4 BT878s! Can I bother you for printout 
of your /proc/interrupts ? Mine is below. Almost everything is off on 
the board btw, including USB. Could never get the bt878s on their own 
interrupts.

Regards,
-Moses
