Using-GPIOs.md Inaccurate #25

Closed pjobson closed 7 years ago

pjobson commented 7 years ago

Using-GPIOs.md shows that you can use gpioctl to control say a LED.

"You can configure your GPIO pin to supply power to a load with your Omega, for example, if you were powering an LED."

root@Omega-ADBD:~# gpioctl dirout 6
Using gpio pin 6.
root@Omega-ADBD:~# gpioctl dirout-high 6
Using gpio pin 6.
root@Omega-ADBD:~# gpioctl get 6
Using gpio pin 6.
Pin 6 is HIGH
root@Omega-ADBD:~# gpioctl dirout-low 6
Using gpio pin 6.
root@Omega-ADBD:~# gpioctl get 6
Using gpio pin 6.
Pin 6 is LOW

Nothing happens, I was expecting the LED to do something... though the documentation isn't clear as to what it is supposed to do. I'm guessing turn on and off.

As mentioned in the section on Multiplexed GPIOs, GPIO6 is set to SPI_CS1 by default. Try using GPIO0 or GPIO1

I'll make a note to update the article to make that more clear

gpio pin 1 works.
