Planned to update?

[Joey-1970]

Hello James,

it is planned to bring this addon "up to date"?

• PIGPIO here is in version 42, actually is version 64
• I think here is a mistake:
  wrong: /storage/.kodi/addons/script.module.pigpio-master/lib/pigpiod -s 10
  right: /storage/.kodi/addons/script.module.pigpio/lib/pigpiod -s 10
• it only works with "chmod u+x pigpiod" (maybe something for the "readme"...)

my apologies, been a while since i looked at this.

1. I can bring this up to date
2. yes this was a mistake caused by working from the master branch
3. i put the zip together on a windows machine which stripped the permissions, this was a mistake and if put together on a linux machine would not happen.

i'll see what i can do tonight.
Thanks

I've updated the repo to the latest pigpio in commit b09b2f9 and the release for download is here: https://github.com/JamesGKent/script.module.pigpio/files/1598473/script.module.pigpio.zip

this should in theory just work, no need to chmod any of the files, would you be able to give it a try?

Thanks

Hi,
not working for me.

Pgpiod isn't running after script.module.pigpio.zip (latest version) install via Kodi. I've tried to manually start pigpiod in ~/.kodi/addons/script.module.pigpio/lib after a chmod u+x pigpiod but I see an error: ./pigpiod: error while loading shared libraries: libpigpio.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.
System: Raspberry pi 2 / OS: OSMC (based on debian stretch)

Thanks

can you try chmod +x *.so in ~/.kodi/addons/script.module.pigpio/lib
failing that i may have to update this again to the latest pigpio version but can't do that until i get home.

personally I don't actually use this anymore as i'm on osmc, so i install pigpio through apt-get and then configure it to start as a service. makes it easier to keep up to date, I only use this module for the python module.

I've already tried to do a chmod +x *.so in the ~/.kodi/addons/script.module.pigpio/lib but it didn't solve.

Will your script.service.gpio-pwm-backlight work if I unistall script.module.pigpio and simply install pgpio via apt-get?

script.module.pigpio provides both the daemon and the python library to talk to it, so you need to keep both installed, but you can install pigpio through apt-get and have it use that instead.
