How to control the GPIO using python in Banana Pi Zero?

Hi All

I am trying to turn on a small led using python script.

As we do in Raspberry Pi- Code —> import time import RPi.GPIO as GPIO

========== I have the problem with
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
How I will write for the BPI zero.

Thanks

Hello, We have built-in some commands in image, could you find “xxx.py” in “/usr/local/bin”?

Hi Thanks for your response.

I have not found any .py file in /usr/loca/bin

Here is the output… image

so can you send me small python code for led on and off with importing headers file and all.

Thanks

Hello，you can see here ：https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/RPi.GPIO

find example in test directory.

For those who find the above RPi.GPIO library, i’ve had issues

Building the library requires a file called “board.sh” which lets the library identify which Banana is in use. This file does not exist on any image I have downloaded. I would really like to find this file

Hello, try this way please, the install method is same with M3: http://wiki.banana-pi.org/Getting_Started_with_M3#RPi.GPIO

@Jackzeng have followed that guide for the M2 Z, the files in the test folder gives:

RuntimeError: This module can only be run on a Raspberry Pi!

@berbec did you get the RPi.GPIO working? Which steps did you follow? Thanks.

@Ram did you find a working python test file? Thanks.

With the shortage of Raspberry PI units I figured to try a BananaPI to run node-red…

I’ve gotten everything running except for the GPIO where I meet this exact error, nrgpio python command not running trying to control GPIO from node-red.

Python version is 2.7 and all the packages/modules referenced/linked seems to be installed.

Just figured if anyone has a clue…

I do not know anything about node-red, but there were some problems in the past with the RPi.GPIO on the Pi zero. You may want to change the BPI version with this one
