When ever I run a python script my vnc connection disconnects?
September 2, 2023, 10:13
This is my script
py
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM) # BCM numbering
pin = 37
GPIO.setup(pin, GPIO.OUT)
GPIO.output(pin, GPIO.HIGH)
print(f"Enabled GPIO {pin}")
time.sleep(1)
GPIO.output(pin, GPIO.LOW)
print(f"Disabled GPIO {pin}")
GPIO.cleanup()
I'm using vnc viewer, it's literally a fresh install...
You could be using SSH for this which probably wouldn't disconnect
Well I prefer a gui, a terminal is not something I'm used to using
also I added a monitor and when I ran the script it became blank
or black
but I want to use gpio and I don't read anywhere that using gpio would make the system break
though...
I did enable remote gpio I think
that's
very strange
I'm confused why it would do that because I don't even have anything connected to the pin
maybe the video generator on the BCM is some how internally shorted to one of the GPIO pins
it's extremely unlikely
hmm
but all I can think of rn
hmm
is board better?
I don't know what the difference between bcm and board is
the bcm is the chip on the pi
hmm
It houses the CPU and the GPU
I'm confused why that would be related to the pins?
Because that's what the pins are connected to
Well all I have heard is that board is when you have multiple pi's
what?
I was trying to figure out what mode I should be using
The mode isn't what I'm talking about
Hmm okay
I see what I'm doing wrong
trying to change gpio37 which doesn't exist
It might be that...
maybe
yes it is that
it doesn't crash now
thank you
I wonder what bcm pin 37 actually is
oh... damn
I feel as lost as I was when I was trying to figure out arduino's lol
the resources are difficult to find
Not really
although the actualy BCM pinout isn't well documented
because it's not open source
arduino is
dam
nvm I only just read that you figured it out
