Rpi-gpio : Raspberry Pi specific node set inactive

General
#46

What does this command show?
which python

#47

/usr/bin/python

#48

I formatted the OS (before that I made a copy). Brand new Rasberrian OS without any modification: node-red GPIO is not available....... I did not even install the node-red-node-pi-gpio. It was there and it is not working.

#49

After
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade

it still can not reach the GPIOs

#50

By Node-RED... And whit shell?

If anyone can teach me, I'would like to try to move some GPIOs by Pyhton script, for test GPIOs in general environment and not only by N-R...

Alan

[EDIT]
in my case by shell I can reach the GPIOs

#51

I have a beta version that may help...

can someone try

cd ~/.node-red
npm i node-red-node-pi-gpio@2.0.0-beta4

GPIO not available on Raspberry
#52

ok, thanks.... Now I try!

#53

After taking the latest update with this script, it still not available:

bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/node-red/linux-installers/master/deb/update-nodejs-and-nodered)
#54

the result is:

pi@raspberrypi:~/.node-red $ npm i node-red-node-pi-gpio@2.0.0-beta4

changed 1 package, and audited 514 packages in 17s

37 packages are looking for funding
  run `npm fund` for details

21 vulnerabilities (3 low, 2 moderate, 15 high, 1 critical)

To address issues that do not require attention, run:
  npm audit fix

To address all issues possible (including breaking changes), run:
  npm audit fix --force

Some issues need review, and may require choosing
a different dependency.

Run `npm audit` for details.

so I don't konw how to do!

It's working for me !!!!!!!!!!!
Super cool :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: I will try not with the original settings.

#56

For me it was different:

pi@zeus:~ $ cd ~/.node-red
pi@zeus:~/.node-red $ npm i node-red-node-pi-gpio@2.0.0-beta4

changed 1 package, and audited 81 packages in 4s

17 packages are looking for funding
run npm fund for details

found 0 vulnerabilities
pi@zeus:~/.node-red $

#57

OK GUYS, it's working also for me!!!

Another question, the result of this command npm i node-red-node-pi-gpio@2.0.0-beta4 is problematic?

Now the question is: reasons for this issue? Why a beta version work and the original not?

Thanks for your time and your help

Did you initiate a injection on the inject node?

Before Inject

After Inject

This is on a AWS EC2 instance, so after an inject I will go N/A as it's not a PI

I don't understand the question here. I think I did injection. As your picture shows.

#60

When you deploy the flow the GPIO shows "not available", as soon as you inject a value (0 or 1) the state changes.

#61

Yes, I'm sure that I've done an injection, before nodes were connected to an MQTT-out node, so they got at least one message

#62

ok, but the "N/A" is not normal as we have now!

[edit]
and I've got 4 LEDs physically connected to GPIOs and they were not working!

#63

Not normal as my node-red is running on a AWS EC2 and not a PI

#64

Yes, but I'm not working in AWS but in a Pi! And, as I just saw, the GPIOs were broken!!

#65

Inject a 1 into the GPIO

The bottom should show 1 for the pin to go high
