Okay gotcha. Would you agree with my logic in the first part then (about the 
beaglescript)?

Subject: Re: [beagleboard] Pin Acting Odd 

I can't speak for the SW implementations. I just know how the board was 
designed.

Okay I think I see what you are saying.  The MODE0 for GPIO3_21 is 
"mcasp0_ahclkx",  so with that beaglescript code, when I say 
"b.pinmode("P9_25",b.output)" it is outputting the results of the MODE0 (clock 
generator output) and not the MODE7(GPIO output) as I had expected?

But if this were the case, in my Python ADAfruit code, I explicitly set that 
pin to GPIO, so shouldn't behave like that?

Thanks for your help, really trying to get a solid grasp on these concepts!

My suggestion is to pick another pin to work with. Less headaches.

Hey all,
I am pretty new to the BBB and I came across something pretty odd that I have 
been trying to figure out for a few hours now as I was creating a push button 
circuit:
P9_25 is a GPIO pin.  I set it to input but noticed that it would not respond 
to my button.  After some digging I realized that the pin itself was acting 
funky, so I isolated it to run some tests with BB's Bonescript tutorial on GPIO 
digitalWrite().  I ran this code below (apologies for the sloppy picture) with 
the adjacent circuit configuration shown as well.  Obviously, the LED should 
turn off, but it doesn't:

 

I then tried the same tests on other pins, such as P9_26, and it worked 
perfectly, so that's where I'm startled.
I have two theories:
1)  I messed with P9_25 in the past, and it is reconfigured in a weird way; if 
someone has this hunch, could you please perhaps inform me how to reset the pin 
to its original glory?
2) The pin is busted.  Fingers crossed for #1.
If anybody has run into something similar, or has any idea what I should do, 
please let me know!
Thank you for you time.
-Joe
