Forum / Slack / Etc? Getting people connected #37

Closed jflowers1974 closed 8 years ago

jflowers1974 commented 8 years ago

Don't know if this is well known or not - I just can't find it personally.

But perhaps a link to a forum / slack / ??? for people to connect. I'm trying to figure out how to use the buttons within a python script, and would love to know of a community (forum) I could hit up.

There is an example script for using the buttons called papirus-buttons already on git.

We are in the process of getting a forum set up but it will take a couple of months, at least, before it's ready. On 21 May 2016 12:03 a.m., "Jeff Flowers" notifications@github.com wrote:

Did you find the buttons example?

jflowers1974 commented 8 years ago

Hi there,

I did thank you. I was actually more interested in the forum bit, and completely understand that this will take some time.

With that said - I did have a weird issue. I bought a new rPi 3, and as I was installing the hat - I noticed that there wasn't a post installed for GPIO 20 (or pin 38). It just didn't come with one installed - and I was going to send the rPi 3 back, but decided to just make "SW3" another GPIO #.

However, I had zero success. In the end I disabled SW3 by setting it to False.

Weird - right?...

Hmm - that sounds like a dodgy Pi 3...they should have all 40 pins of the GPIO populated.

The switch 3 is in hardware designed to be a certain GPIO so you can't change it to another one, other than by bypassing traces on the board with wire.

Keep an eye on our Facebook and Twitter for info on us starting a forum as we will definitely post it there :-)
