[time-nuts] Lady heather on a Raspberry pi

[Ken]

Thanks Mark- as soon as I read your reply the answer hit me- all I need to do is break out 
dtr & rts from the usb to serial adapter I am already using- I must be getting slow in my 
old age!

I can put a small hole in the t'bolts lid to bring out a couple of wires from the db9 to a 
small driver board- too easy.
