I would like to add the pyODBC moduleto the ConnectPort X4, is it possible to compile a version of pyODBC that will run on the Digi? pyODBC is a wrapper on C++ code that needs a C compiler for the Digi processor. Or, even better, is there already a pre-compiled package?

unfortunately, you can only run python code on the X4. Anything that needs a compiler won’t run on it.
