Re: Pi-Star 4.0 rc2 CPU load higher, temps up

Just played around with this. Started Zumspot (Pi0 w/heatsink) . Did not use HT( no local activity) and logged in from computer every half hour to check temp. 1st two hours temp was 95F. approximately just after hour two temp went up to 106F.

Re: nextion driver with Pi-STAR ver 4.0"

Yes
I am running 4.0.0-RC2 and the Model8 display with nextion driver. If you use config back up and restore, make sure you load pi-star, then install driver before you restore config. Not using this order will cause issues.
