Gpiod Plugin 1.1 is out.
This plugin is a wrapper for libgpiod from: libgpiod/libgpiod.git - C library and tools for interacting with the linux GPIO character device
This plugin is part of our community effort project so the plugin is completely free and open source.
The plugin encapsulates the libpgiod so does not require libpgiod to be installed.
All example projects have been tested with Raspberry Pi 2, 3, 4, 5.
Additionally the plugin has been tested on the following boards: Orange Pi One, Orange Pi 2, Orange Pi 5 Plus, Rock64. (Only pin scan so far on the Orange Pi 5 plus)
The plugin deals with async operations in native threads masking the difficult things to do in Xojo.
New in version 1.1
- Updated to use libgpiod 2.3.1
Download link for the plugin:
https://www.einhugur.com/Downloads/Plugs/GpiodPlugin.zip
Source code for the plugin:
https://bitbucket.org/einhugur/gpiodplugin/src/main/
All of the Einhugur open source community projects:
I have also slowly been rebuilding the old GPIO guides to use the Gpiod Plugin and the I2C Plugin instead of Wiring Pi, so you will find more example projects and guides there:
I republished the version 1.1 of the Gpiod Plugin since it had bad version record in it that caused issues with Plugins Pro. So if you got the old 1.1 then by all means grab the new good 1.1.
