Hallo

I am getting around to playing with the gpio this morning and have noticed that if I connect a switch to GPIO (#4 though I don't think that matters) I can map it to the next trigger of the auto cue and when in run mode it will advance when I press it the first time, thereafter nothing.

When mapping the same gpio trigger to a button, it fires every time.

Does the switch produce both high and low states when you press it ?
Can you please show us this swtich we're talking about ?

It is a vanilla momentary switch. I also tried another momentary switch with the same result.

Hi!
I want to use the gpio for the same purpose as you but i have som more problems so i hope we both can find an answer here.

My problem is that i can not get any reaction to my hardware switches in qlcplus. My switches are connected between the gpio pins and ground. Is that right?

I read that there are pullup resistors on the raspberry but my multimeter measured only 0V! Are there pullups?

Another problem i have is the configuration of the plugin. I am using the official image (20160529). But when i configure the used pins as input do not get a reaction in virtual console (i considered the +1 offset) . After every reboot i have to configure the gpio plugin again.... I dont think thats the right behavior. Did i forget something?

Best regards!

Massimo,
Would you care to shed some light on this issue?
I'm really counting on using cue lists triggered by external buttons for my next installation.

Thank you Sir!

The original issue is dated 2016.
What is exactly the issue here ?

Have you tried to create a custom input profile and enable the "Generate an extra Press/Release when toggled" option ?
