GPIO Buttons do not work after update to new GPIO control #1225

Hi everybody,

I just updated my RPi Phoniebox to the new version 2.2.
I had several issues during the update which I could, however, easily resolve, for example: taking the spotify account config didnt work.
So, after 30 mins: everything was up to date and running...everything but the GPIO controls which are now defined by the new settings file.
Regarding my setup :

i use physical resistors very similar to the original setup describe in the wiki
i use a a on-off shim
RPi3B+

No button works actually and i am not able to identify the root cause. I just wanted to have the same functionality as before (see below). Since i use physical pull up resistors i deactivated them in the settings. I couldnt find any documentation to the new settings file, yet, so maybe you can help me with a few ideas regarding potential root causes.

I restarted the service, checked the pin numbering, updated the installation of the phoniebox 3 times, ...
Starting the install.sh script in the components/gpio-control folder does not work.
Is there anything obvious that i am missing? Is there anything else that i could provide to help debugging?

A minor finding : within the gpio settings example files there are a few controls where it is stated enable: True other enableD: True.

Does anybody else face similar issues with the new GPIO configuation?

Thanks a lot for your help.

here is the config of my old GPIO buttons.py file:

led = LED(22)
led.on()


shut = Button(12, hold_time=2)
vol0 = Button(13)
volU = Button(16,hold_time=0.3,hold_repeat=True)
volD = Button(19,hold_time=0.3,hold_repeat=True)
next = Button(26)
prev = Button(20)
halt = Button(21)

here is my new GPIO controls file
`[DEFAULT]

[PlayPause]
enabled: True

#pull_up: True
hold_time: 0.3

I think the problem is that you use a pin twice, "PlayPause" and "Halt" are using both pin 21.

I think you have set pull up explicitly to False, commenting defaults to True, if I remember correctly.

Please note also that Pin is actually the GPIO number

thanks for the quick reply.
Regarding the GPIO number: the number is exactly as described here https://github.com/MiczFlor/RPi-Jukebox-RFID/wiki/Using-GPIO-hardware-buttons
--> GPIO26 - Pin37 --> i use 26 in the code, right?

Regarding the pull up, i dont really understand what you mean:
due to the usage of hardware resistors i thought that i do not need the pull up true statement. I didnt use the software pull ups in the old version and it worked.
however, it doesnt work with Pull up : True either.

What does the first line of the gpio-settings actually define?

[Default] 
Enabled: True

thanks again!

Doesnt work.
when i manually start the python script gpio_control i get the following infos (not sure if this helps).

here some addition log as a result of the following statement
$ journalctl -u phoniebox-gpio-control.service -f

It seems there is an issue with line 71 of the simple button script resulting finally in a stop of the gpio service.

manchmal ist die Lösung so einfach...und man sucht nach den Fehlern im Code, dabei ist meine stumpfe Eingabe der Grund.
