A module to control Raspberry Pi GPIO channels
Project description
This package provides a class to control the GPIO on a Raspberry Pi.
Note that this module is unsuitable for real-time or timing critical applications. This is because you can not predict when Python will be busy garbage collecting. It also runs under the Linux kernel which is not suitable for real time applications - it is multitasking O/S and another process may be given priority over the CPU, causing jitter in your program. If you are after true real-time performance and predictability, buy yourself an Arduino http://www.arduino.cc !
Note that the current release does not support SPI, I2C, hardware PWM or serial functionality on the RPi yet. This is planned for the near future - watch this space! One-wire functionality is also planned.
Although hardware PWM is not available yet, software PWM is available to use on all channels.

Fix - pins > 26 missing when using BOARD mode
Add getmode()
Raise exception when a mix of modes is used
GPIO.cleanaup() unsets the current pin mode
0.5.10
Issue 95 - support RPi 2 boards
Introduce RPI_INFO
Deprecate RPI_REVISION
Issue 97 - fixed docstring for setup()
0.5.9
Issue 87 - warn about pull up/down on i2c pins
Issue 86/75 - wait_for_edge() bugfix
Issue 84 - recognise RPi properly when using a custom kernel
Issue 90 - cleanup() on a list/tuple of channels
0.5.8
Allow lists/tuples of channels in GPIO.setup()
GPIO.output() now allows lists/tuples of values
GPIO.wait_for_edge() bug fixes (issue 78)
0.5.7
Issue 67 - speed up repeated calls to GPIO.wait_for_event()
Added bouncetime keyword to GPIO.wait_for_event()
Added extra edge/interrupt unit tests
GPIO.wait_for_event() can now be mixed with GPIO.add_event_detect()
Improved cleanups of events
Issue 69 resolved
0.5.6
Issue 68 - support for RPi Model B+
Fix gpio_function()
0.5.5
Issue 52 - ‘unallocate’ a channel
Issue 35 - use switchbounce with GPIO.event_detected()
Refactored events code
Rewrote tests to use unittest mechanism and new test board with loopbacks
Fixed adding events after a GPIO.cleanup()
Issue 64 - misleading /dev/mem permissions error
Issue 59 - name collision with PWM constant and class
0.5.4
Changed release status (from alpha to full release)
Warn when GPIO.cleanup() used with nothing to clean up (issue 44)
Avoid collisions in constants (e.g. HIGH / RISING / PUD_DOWN)
Accept BOARD numbers in gpio_function (issue 34)
More return values for gpio_function (INPUT, OUTPUT, SPI, I2C, PWM, SERIAL, UNKNOWN)
Tidy up docstrings
Fix /dev/mem access error with gpio_function
0.5.3a
Allow pydoc for non-root users (issue 27)
Fix add_event_detect error when run as daemon (issue 32)
Simplified exception types
Changed from distribute to pip
0.5.2a
Added software PWM (experimental)
Added switch bounce handling to event callbacks
Added channel number parameter to event callbacks (issue 31)
Internal refactoring and code tidy up
0.5.1a
Fixed callbacks for multiple GPIOs (issue 28)
0.5.0a
Added new edge detection events (interrupt handling) - Added add_event_detect() - Added remove_event_detect() - Added add_event_callback() - Added wait_for_edge()
Removed old experimental event functions - Removed set_rising_event() - Removed set_falling_event() - Removed set_high_event() - Removed set_low_event()
Changed event_detected() for new edge detection functionality
input() now returns 0/LOW == False or 1/HIGH == True (integers) instead of False or True (booleans).
Fix error on repeated import (issue 3)
Change SetupException to a RuntimeError so it can be caught on import (issue 25, Chris Hager <chris@linuxuser.at>)
Improved docstrings of functions
0.4.2a
Fix for installing on Arch Linux (Python 3.3) (issue 20)
Initial value when setting a channel as an output (issue 19)
0.4.1a
Added VERSION
Permit input() of channels set as outputs (Eric Ptak <trouch@trouch.com>)
0.4.0a
Added support for Revision 2 boards
Added RPI_REVISION
Added cleanup() function and removed automatic reset functionality on program exit
Added get_function() to read existing GPIO channel functionality (suggestion from Eric Ptak <trouch@trouch.com>)
Added set_rising_event()
Added set_falling_event()
Added set_high_event()
Added set_low_event()
Added event_detected()
Added test/test.py
Converted debian to armhf
Fixed C function short_wait() (thanks to Thibault Porteboeuf <thibaultporteboeuf@gmail.com>)
0.3.1a
Fixed critical bug with swapped high/low state on outputs
Added pull-up / pull-down setup functionality for inputs
0.3.0a
Rewritten as a C extension
Now uses /dev/mem and SoC registers instead of /sys/class/gpio
Faster!
Make call to GPIO.setmode() mandatory
Added GPIO.HIGH and GPIO.LOW constants
0.2.0
Changed status from alpha to beta
