      Hi everyone, I am just wondering whether anyone can give me some advice please on having multiple pi systems altering the same mirro. I don’t really know how to go about setting this up, but as is a consequence of having run out of GPIO space really. Therefore, I’d like to have two rip inputs to the same mirror space. Anyone got any suggestions? Am I being daft, can I in fact just do this like the remote, through localhost:8080?

        @joe84maiden Sounds like you need a port expander, not an additional RPi.

          I would be happy to do so, but I have been struggling to find (good & cheap) port expanders that allow multiple pHATs - ideally 3. If you could recommend some that would be greatly appreciated.
