I have, but it rambles. So I did not note that. This is a much better explanation in that it actualy explains the results.

I got nearly 90 the first time. I got 74 the last time I ran it on the pi, since nothing was been changed since, I am running it again. This pi has lots more stuff installed as its a full development system for LinuxCNC. Humm, after almost an hour, I got 74 again. There is always the possibility I didn't use a sudo the first time.
