-Oh god, oh god. The Pi has been misbehaving so much over the last few days. Given how much it survived ok before the last few days I think it's the SD Card rather than the Pi misbehaving due to overclocking. So, I'm going to get myself a brand new Class 10+ card, 16 GB or so, and then either clone the current one or set everything up from scratch again, making sure to use the same sharing codes/IDs for the feeders.

 This is, it has to be said, a bit frustrating. Maybe it's worth using another drive like an SSD or USB stick, but I am totally out of ports on the Pi Zero, and because of the shortages at the moment Pis are as rare as rocking horse shit or cost an absolute bomb, so the idea of getting a Pi3 to replace this will have to wait a while.

-Well then. It’s been a shitty week for the project. The crashes and corruption got to the stage where I genuinely couldn’t log in via SSH. Like, I’d connect and the window would immediately close after it processed my login. Something was toast. So I dig out a spare 8 gig card and set it all up from scratch.

-I haven’t overclocked it at all, because I’m terrified that’s what did it in before, but I can definitely tell that I haven’t done it. The CPU temp is lower, for a start. I’ve taken the lid off the Zero’s case and the temp dropped. Nice! I don’t think it needs to be covered in the position it is in, so I’m leaving it off for good. I’m honestly going to just skip the overclocking. It’s not worth the hassle.
+I haven’t overclocked it at all, because I’m terrified that’s what did it in before, but I can definitely tell that I haven’t done it. Actually that’s a lie, I did it once and it crashed very quickly. Grr. The CPU temp is lower though without the overclock. I’ve also taken the lid off the Zero’s case and the temp dropped a few C. Nice! I don’t think it needs to be covered in the position it is in, so I’m leaving it off for good. I’m honestly going to just skip the overclocking. It’s not worth the hassle.
 I am pretty sure we can leave this diary here, although I did just start working on an 8 segment antenna, because I am a glutton for punishment.
