GPIO and OS Choice - fsa317 - 05-02-2016
Hi, if I want to utilize GPIO ports for buttons and such should I be choosing an OS other than Android / Remix? I dont see any documentation on how to get access to those inputs from Android.

Depends. Remember at its base Android evolved from linux. So the basics may be there to allow very basic gpio function but in all honesty you will have an easier time in linux.
