Maybe I could be a group member in order to speed up a bit the dev. I do have localy some drivers to create.

see you

Sorry I should be good to go now, keep those PR's coming :smile:

What other drivers were you thinking of creating? We can create those repo's and I can try and help you once you push some of your code.

I begun libbcm2835, gave a shot at pi-blaster.... have to work on sysfs. but I contacted Mike from libbcm2835, and he jst updated the lib with /dev/gpiomem register access. allowing non-root access for his lib ! I'm currently testing it (with no luck for now)

That's awesome to hear. Let's hope it works, then we no longer have to have root! On Feb 29, 2016 4:50 PM, "Marco" notifications@github.com wrote:

maybe you can create pi_piper-sysfs as an empty repos. I'm building it side by side with bcm2835

zsyed91 commented 8 years ago

Ok, I will create that repo.

Any luck with the non-root driver?

elmatou commented 8 years ago

yes partialy. It works after changing the group of /dev/gpiomem. There is some issue in the lenny upgrade. I should check it with a stock image of lenny. That's something we can read here and there. it definitely will work
