Ill look into that more
I have also got a mini pc up and going and will try and connect it via nina as an alternative option.
As for the voltage possibility, I have multiple power pack, all with about 1- 1.5m cables (standard length) ill double check the voltage is correct, but as these are mains powered plug packs i expect they should be ok.
Thanks for the direction, now to spend some time on it this arvo.
