Python GPIO Library for the Rock64 (R64.GPIO)

[pantera]

I can run under Ubuntu, but can't run the test script under Armbian. Using python3 I get:

Code:

root@rock64:/home/sas# python3 gpio_test.py 
Testing R64.GPIO Module...

Module Variables:

GPIO.HIGH      1
GPIO.LOW       0
GPIO.PUD_UP    0
GPIO.PUD_DOWN  1

Testing GPIO Input/Output:
You must setup() the GPIO channel ({0} {1}) first
Traceback (most recent call last):

    print("You must setup() the GPIO channel ({0} {1}) first").format(gpio_mode, channel)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'format'

Heads up: I'm not dead, and I'm actively working on this library again.

Just updated with bug fixes:
1. Improved GPIO.input compatibility (now returns an int rather than a string).
2. Fixed Python3 compatibility.
3. Updated install instructions in the Github wiki.

I'm working on RockPro64 support now.

Appreciate and thanks on working at ROCKPro64 support. Please PM your shipping address (include phone number for shipping purpose), I will send a Rock64 v3 SBC to you.

I was getting a similar error when running the test Python file from the terminal using the Armbian_20.08.1_Rock64_bionic_legace_4.4.213_desktop image. I did get it to work using sudo.

To get it to work without sudo I ran the following command from the terminal based on the discussion at https://forum.armbian.com/topic/8714-gpi...-non-root/:

chmod 4775 /usr/bin/python

I don't know secure this is but it worked.

I tried the steps from https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=2233 without success.

I'm trying to get a Filament-Sensor working on my rock64 with armbian installed and octoprint. Any help? Gpio Kris saying failed not a pi device.

Sometimes you can get past this by renaming R64.GPIO to RPi.GPIO.

Internal SoC PullUps are usually between 20K to 100K.

So, using a external PullDown to put it low is like creating a voltage divider with the internal pullup, therefore with a external 20K, you get a voltage that is neither a LOW or a HIGH, explaining why you get interrupts triggered repeatedly.

If you use a external 1K as a pulldown instead, you will see that will be close to 0V ...
