The AWS DeepRacer Event Manager (DREM) is used to run and manage all aspects of in-person events for AWS DeepRacer, an autonomous 1/18th scale race car designed to test reinforcement learning (RL) models by racing on a physical track.
Due to changes with the way the GPIO is connected on the latest version of the Raspberry Pi (5) the existing timer code leaderboard-timer/timer.js doesn't work with the timing board.
There are a couple of options
1) Do nothing and hope that the library rpi-gpio or its dependency epoll are updated to support the RPi5
2) Look to change the code to use GIPO Zero
Example code detecting "laps" from a timing board that works on both an RPi4 and an RPi5
#!/usr/bin/python3
from gpiozero import Button
from signal import pause
def logLap():
print('lap')
pin1 = Button(17)
pin2 = Button(27)
pin1.when_pressed = logLap
pin2.when_pressed = logLap
pause()
