Cool, thank you. I can see why it may glitch and cause issues.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

I've now checked my original PiStorm board and that works with the clock filter installed as well.

Especially as the glitches are right around the 3.3V logic's 0/1 transition voltage.

Something not at all computer related turned up today...

The Ivor the Engine model railway packs. In the first is the loco and a couple of trucks and in the other some more wagons...

But there's more... A new story written by Oliver Postgate's son... And cardboard building and characters...

And Ivor is DCC sound fitted, and can play recordings from the original series.

I'm rebuilding the Hornby Zero 1 demo layout to be an Ivor themed one, possibly for exhibition.
