Getting the "Failed to add edge detection" even after running remove.sh and reinstalling about gpionext HOT 5 CLOSED

As another update, I wiped my sdcard, reinstalled RetroPie 4.4, installed GPIOnext, and it worked as expected. As soon as I get and install the LCD-show driver from the waveshare github, that's when GPIOnext starts giving the above errors. Not sure if this detail helps, but I'd love to be able to get this all working!

sorry for the delay, been away for a bit. So the reason that GPIOnext fails after activating the lcd-show driver is that by default GPIOnext tries to watch (add edge detection) to all of the pins, but the lcd driver is already holding on to some of those pins. If you want it to run on just specific pins, there are two things that need to be done.

1. run the config with the pins flag
   gpionext config --pins 3,5,7,8,etc

2. set GPIOnext to run with those same pins
   gpionext set pins 3,5,7,8,etc

hopefully that gets you up and running.

Ahhhh. I had tried doing gpionext set pins 3,5,7,8 and running gpionext config and was getting the same results, but didn't realize I needed to do gpionext config --pins xxxx as well.

Thanks for the clarification.

Also...I greatly appreciate you developing this tool, but maybe some more verbose error output in this situation would help prevent others from getting stuck like I did?

I have a bit of time to work on this project again. I'll try to make it a bit more verbose as well as a bit more streamlined in terms of set flags passing over to the config as well. Anything else that you'd like to see included?

from gpionext.

Nope...I didn't run into any other issues or papercuts in my use of it.

...and thanks for doing this!
