Controller.py not communicating with GPIO pins? #53

Closed webby619 closed 6 years ago

webby619 commented 7 years ago

Hey me again sorry. So I can't get things working on my Pi Zero W. I can't get the controller.py working from your scripts to talk to the GPIOs. I have tried a seperate python script that works and "flips the trigger" of the relay.

I have the website working so I know python is up and running with twisted but when I press the garage door button nothing happens. And I think it's all not communicating with the GPIOs I have searched over and over for what I could be doing wrong. I did not want to make another issue but have been going around in circles now for too long.

-I have re-imaged raspbian onto an SD card, twice -Python is running at start-up -I have put in a basic python script that has worked and toggled the relay so I know the pi sees the GPIO's -Have tried different GPIOs with also changing the json file -Because it sees the relay (in another python script) I am confident it isn't a soldering issue

Hi. Sorry for the late reply. Are you certain you are connecting to the right pins? Would you be able to upload a picture of your connections?

What version of RPI are you using? The gpio numbering may have changed depending on your version.

the piZero has a different pinout. Where GPIO21 is, it is now GPIO27. Refer to this image. You can either edit config.json and change to GPIO22 or wire it to the new GPIO21 location
