    That's why I went with the extra large bread board on my dedicated bread board rig. I haven't come close to using a lot of space "yet" lol. But I don't ever see me saying I wish I had put a bigger one on there. It also made things easy building my frame around it and was nice and wide so I got to use the 7 inch touch screen.

    I have a hard time sleeping some times, brain just won't turn off. Anyway, I was thinking about how I could have my power on and bypass function on the one switch. Switch up Pi on and powered by power boost. Switch center Pi off and power boost off. Switch down Pi on and powered by power supply, power boost off. I knew a normal double pole double throw switch wouldn't work. You need a special switch to do it. We had them at work, but what would be the odds of me actually having one in my parts bin? The first one I pulled out and tested with my multi meter was the one I needed. lol. Time to go buy a loto ticket. It was still tricky wiring it up, but its all working just the way I want.
    Lets say the switch has the following contacts
    A - D
    B - E
    C - F
    Switch down -- B is connected to A and E is connected to D
    Switch center - B is connected to A and E is connected to F
    Switch up ----- B is connected to C and E is connected to F
    I won't bore you with how I wired everything up, it would just be confusing without a schematic anyway. Another plus was, all the wires I had used the first time around were long enough to be reused. I didn't have to replace any of them. I didn't even have to shorten any either. Just unsolder from the old switches and re solder to the new one.:)

    I have muscle relaxers that help with sleeping, and my pain. I find it hard to get going in the morning after taking them at night though. I'm going to try taking them earlier in the evening and see how that goes. I'm such a light sleeper that if the dog farts I wake up, lol.

    So if Windows 10 will now be able to run on ARM devices, is it possible we could get it on a RPi 3?

    Yes and No. The Windows 10 on Arm version won't run on the Current Arm Processor (ARM Cortex-A53 1.2 GHz 64 bit quad-core ) used in Raspberry Pi's. I'm hoping that changes at some point.

    There is a version of Windows 10 IoT that will run on a raspberry Pi. IMHO, its not Windows 10 though. Its so striped down the average joe isn't going to be able to do much of anything except look at the screen. No GUI, no Apps, no browser, no anything. You have to basically build your own Apps in Visual Studio and side load them yourself. Programmers may like it but it doesn't do anything for me.

    Hey Jack, just wondering how you plan on hooking up your Drum Hat and Piano hat and etc Hat? One Pi or multiple Pi's?
