Hi Jesus, The GPIO pins on the Turbot are functional, so I am surprised you are having such issues.
One thing that comes to mind is that the MRAA libraries are expecting to have root privileges, so make sure you either execute you program with a ‘sudo’ context ( as in, if your program is called ‘test_gpio’, you execute ‘sudo test_gpio’ to elevate the program to run with root permissions), or log in as root. You can also examine the syslog messages to see what MRAA is reporting –certain MRAA error conditions logged there. For instance on Ubuntu ‘cat /var/log/syslog’ to see the whole log.

Please let me know the OS and libraries you are using to access the GPIO pin in question, and what program you use to test the GPIO state. And is it specifically GPIO 26, or are all GPIO’s behaving this way? Thanks, |\/|ark From: elinux-MinnowBoard [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] On Behalf Of Jesus Velazquez Sent: Wednesday, July 5, 2017 9:14 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [MinnowBoard] GPIO doesn't working as Input Hello list, This is my first post in this list and I'm happy for join me to it. I have a Minnowboard Turbot and I would like to manage a GPIO as input but I can see that my pin (26 for example) always is in HIGH state and the interruption never is active. If I use the GPIO as output, it works fine and can change the state, but as Input not. Somebody have the same experience? or can resolve this issue? Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ elinux-MinnowBoard mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://lists.elinux.org/mailman/listinfo/elinux-minnowboard
