[PD] how to install and use GPIO external

[Josh Downing]

Thanks Jaime, that fixed my error problems. No errors now but I can't seem
to figure out how to set the patch up to configure GPIO 17 as an input and
then to read the state. I modified gpio-help.pd to do this by changing
"output 1" to "output 0" (according to the patch output 0 should configure
the pin as an input). I then click "enable 1", "open 1", and then "output
0". No error messages but where should I expect to see the high/low state
of GPIO 17? Should this be reflected in the bang object in the script
(white for low and black for high)? I have the poll input check box
checked. When I toggle the voltage on GPIO 17 from 3.3V to GND I do not see
anything change in the script. I am able to see the high/low state of the
pin 17 change by using the "readall" command from LXTerminal so I know that
I'm switching the voltage correctly on the right pin, just not seeing how I
get this status in pure data using the gpio-help.pd script. Any thought on
how I do this?

Sorry I have very little experience with pure data and am just learning.

Thanks,
Josh
