    It was the date/time thing. Minimal latency on any of the systems that weren’t connected to the internet. I found a linux command that will prevent the Pis from syncing the time via the internet.

      Awesome, glad you got it figured out! Thanks for replying with that info, too, as I was curious if my suggestions helped at all. Helping debug a problem based on a short description makes me feel like a bit less of an imposter.

      One suggestion is to occasionally enable the time sync via internet. It doesn’t need to be a daily thing (or however often systems want to do it), but those crystal clocks are usually inaccurate enough to get noticeably out of sync over a long enough time period, plus you can let localization settings take care of things like daylight savings time if we don’t get rid of it soon (or the nightmare of some regions getting rid of it while others don’t). Assuming your use case even cares about the actual time. If you just need to track intervals, syncing doesn’t really affect the accuracy of those.
