The GPIO.py code is only for use with the Raspberry Pi Model 5. Do not use it for earlier models such as the Model 3B or 4
It is designed to intercept GPIO calls and convert them to LGPIO calls. See: https://abyz.me.uk/lg/py_lgpio.html
OUTPUT: User Program --> GPIO calls --> GPIOconverter --> LGPIO
INPUT: LGPIO events --> GPIOconverter --> GPIO events --> User Program
Install package python3-lgpio
sudo apt install python3-lgpio
Log into the Raspberry Pi Model 5 and clone the GPIODconverter software and run:
git clone https://github.com/bobrathbone/GPIOconverter
Create a sub-directory called RPi in the directory where your GPIO code is installed For example code in directory /usr/share/radio:
cd /usr/share/radio
mkdir RPi
cp <source>/GPIO.py /usr/share/radio/RPi/.
Note: The radiod package installation script has already done this
For a Raspberry Pi model 5 only. Example:
touch /usr/share/radio/RPi/__init__.py
The instruction above will cause the code using the GPIO calls to see directory RPi as a package.
For earlier models such as the 3B or 4 disable the package
rm /usr/share/radio/RPi/__init__.py
GPIOconverter is released under the GNU General Public License version 2,
It is not possible to provide support for GPIO.py as literally hundreds of thousands of programs are using GPIO routines. The code is provided as is and without any warranties or "fit for purpose" etc.
