RPi.GPIO error
June 1, 2024, 07:58
Hi, So I have an issue with rasp pi. I updated and installed the RPi properly, but it still gave me an error when I used python/2/3 [filename] to run the code.
The error
This module can run only on raspberry pi!
Can anyone please help me? Thanks in advance
yo
Hiiiii
I think ik fix
Oh great
what is your python version
I used 3
do python -v
But like I tried python, python2, and python3 but they don't work as well
try this
apt policy python-rpi.gpio
Gimme a sec, not on my laptop now
does it have wifi
you should download zerotier
then you can connect to your rpi where ever you want as long as thaT device you are using to access the pi on has ZEROTIER unless local
It's a rasp 4, not sure though cos it's from a friend's friend so I dont want to break it ...
Oh I find it interesting that if I connect it to my laptop beforehand it has its own vm, maybe it should work from the microsd
nvm.... it's the vm I uploaded myself lol
<@675227360965951498> sorry for the ping bro but it said that I have none rpi installed
maybe I should install it manually
hmmm
my sudo mv won't work, lemme try it again
you fucked somethin up
shouldn't be the case
just saying that it''s not a dir, but I made a dir for it
how would you install the RPi.GPIO friend?
idk exactly
but you can run gpio just fine?
i havent ever used gpio
ive been with someone that has but ive never ran it myself
I did check on that, didn't work either...
I think the main problem is in the sudo apt install, it wasn't able to find RPi
Guess it's a file dependencies problem, will look it up later... for now I rest....
Thanks a lot guys
No need to use curse words!
Here you have an answer:

It will never work on Pi 5 and later unless the creator reprograms his stuff.
So everything that uses rpi.gpio does not work on Pi 5 and later.
I have pi 4
I found a solution but haven't tried, installing the dependencies first. Will maybe try tomorrow, thanks for your help
cat /etc/os-release
This is to check the raspbian OS?
Version yes
Raspbian OS is OBSOLETE!
<@1005770488242524201> solved?
Not yet, will solve soon
<@543079039628214272> I have another error : "This module can only be run on a Raspbery Pi!" byut I already connected my pi
still won't work.....
<@1005770488242524201> what python version are you using?
I used all of em and still wouldn't work, but mainly 3
should I manually install RPi.GPIO?
I tried a script for printing and it works just fine
sorry for the ping , with pip3 it's installed fine but I can't access RPi.GPIO. do I need to connect it to pins and leds first just to upload the code? <@543079039628214272>
wait haha
don't worry, take your time
may I dm you?
my main error is that it's "not connected to a pi!"
you could, but then other people dont know what you had done
ah true
So you did this?
pip install RPi.GPIO
yeah it's working fine
I have like 2 main errors, either the "not connected to a pi!" one or "RPi.GPIO not found"... confusing....
when do the errors occur?
when you start your script?
when I do python3 [filename]
yeah
lemme try it again this time
could you share a screenshot of the whole error if it occurs?
but the rule doesn't allow screenshots here.... that's why I proposed dms
yea okay then dm
Which OS version are you running?
Maybe it's the latest version (bookworm), and you have to go back to Bullseye...
I use Bullseye
Have you tried the following commands?
sudo apt update sudo apt -y install python-rpi.gpioOr
sudo apt -y install python3-rpi.gpio
My main problem is that the package is not found, will try -y
But you see that my suggested commands use apt and not pip?
And that python-rpi.gpio is installed and not rpi.gpio?
That does make a difference...
I did the pip one and it was installed fine, but when I can't access gpio when used. Haven't tried -y though
-y only means that it should not ask if you want to install it, so this will not bring any change.
Either it doesn't work because of pip or because python-rpi.gpio is missing, because you only have rpi.gpio installed...
so what should I download for gpio? RPi.GPIO won't work
is rpi and RPi is different?
I think I need to download other packages but don't know what
still having issues, may I dm you? <@1187039958561726494>
No, 1 no time, 2 I have no idea, I just sent them a solution from the Internet. 3 I don't like private conversations.
