V2.x FPP does not appear to recognize when PiFace I/O cards are attached. #387

Closed patdelaney closed 5 years ago

patdelaney commented 6 years ago

In 1.x software FPP was able to tell

if a PiFace card was attached and then it adjusted GPIO setup screen to add the GPIs that the card supported. v2.x does not appear to. I have tested with PiFace and PiFace digital.

gpio1_8

gpio2 x

Version 1.10 boot up image

Version 2.x boot up (looks like it skips the step) image

If you need access to the Pi with a PiFace attached let me know and I can set up up to ssh in.

I accidentally closed this the other day. It is Still and issue and I think needs to be addressed soon.

That stuff won't be on the console with Stretch. If you run "sudo journalctl -u fppinit" you should see: "FPP - Checking for PiFace". That said, it looks like the PiFace and wiringPi "gpio" utility no longer work well together: https://www.element14.com/community/thread/64502/l/piface-digital2-no-longer-works-with-wiringpi-246-under-current-raspbian-2018-06-27?displayFullThread=true

Can you send me the output of "ls -lR /sys/class/gpio/" on a system with the PiFace installed?

Here you go:

fpp@FPP6:~ $ sudo ls -lR /sys/class/gpio/ /sys/class/gpio/: total 0 -rwxrwx--- 1 root gpio 4096 Sep 19 08:28 export lrwxrwxrwx 1 root gpio 0 Sep 19 08:28 gpiochip0 -> ../../devices/platform/soc/20200000.gpio/gpio/gpiochip0 -rwxrwx--- 1 root gpio 4096 Sep 19 08:28 unexport fpp@FPP6:~ $

Darn. Thats not helpful. :( Not sure we can detect it from the command line anymore. May need to just add a "PiFace Enabled" checkbox someplace.

send me a private email and I can give you the IP address that you can ssh in ... Ben Shaver uses it when we do testing. I have a BBB with port forwarding on off the firewall. From there you can ssh into the unit with the PIFace.
