Title: RPIO or GPIO in piCorePlayer
Post by: VMat on January 20, 2015, 06:40:57 PM

Hello,

This is my first post here... I hope it's in the right place.

I'm running piCorePlayer 1.18b on a RPi rev. B. I'd like to mess around with GPIO and TCP, so I was hoping to get the RPIO (python) extension from the repository, but I couldn't find it. Is it possible to add it to the repository?

As a last option, I might use GPIO instead, but it lacks the TCP callbacks I'm interested in. There's a thread (http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,17223.msg103357.html#msg103357) where bmarkus says python-RPi.GPIO.tcz was updated, but I can't find it in the repository, either. Am I doing something wrong?

If it's not possible to add RPIO, what would be the correct way of installing it manually? Can someone give me a step-by-step guide? I already managed to compile the GPIO python extension, but it wouldn't stick between reboots. Then I added 'usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages' to .filetool.lst, and it worked, but it doesn't look right...  ???

Thanks!

VMat

Thanks!!  :D

I'd still like to try RPIO - any comments on my installation "method"? Is there a better way to do it?
