I've running rasbian ( bullseye ) on a Raspberry Pi 4.

I cloned the .git code.

If I try and run it I get: ./PiCW.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/jack/PiCW/./PiCW.py", line 9, in import InputOutputPort as port ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'InputOutputPort'

what am I missing / doing wrong?

When using PiCW, install the GPIO driver pigpio or RPi_GPIO and create InputOutputPort.py as a symbolic link to the corresponding module.

ln -s InputOutputPort_pigpio.py InputOutputPort.py or ln -s InputOutputPort_RPi_GPIO.py InputOutputPort.py

Both can be used, but pigpio has better performance and is recommended.

for your info, these are the demo videos: https://youtu.be/2BrhcRPj1FE https://youtu.be/GpT2TFPGSUM

is: ln -s InputOutputPort_pigpio.py InputOutputPort.py or ln -s InputOutputPort_RPi_GPIO.py InputOutputPort.py documented someplace in github and I didn't see it? Seems like that should be in the README.md file.

it works once I did: ln -s InputOutputPort_pigpio.py InputOutputPort.py

Sorry, I did not describe it in the README. We will update it soon.
