Added BAT25, BAT50, BAT75, BAT100 and WIFI LEDs

[MarkAYoder]

Now the battery level and WIFI LEDs can be blinked. Added blinkLEDs.py to blink all the built in LEDs.

I increased the sleep between exporting a pin and setting the direction to 200ms since 100ms sometimes failed. It's still a hack, but it works.

@MarkAYoder

bat100 should be '26'...

GPIO0_26_T11

@MarkAYoder a BeagleBone Black regression in release 1.0.5 was discovered with how we are integrating Blue support. The details are here: https://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=123435

I've been traveling for the last week and will be home on Wednesday. Hopefully, I'll have sometime to investigate how we can have the BeagleBone (White/Black/Green) co-exist with the BeagleBone Blue. I'll be leaving on Thursday for Maker Faire New York so I might not actually be able to sort this out until after I get back home on Sept 25th.

For now, BB White/Black/Green users will need to use release 1.0.4. I hope to ultimately have this resolved in a forthcoming 1.0.6 release.

@pdp7

sudo: /opt/scripts/tools/version.sh: command not found

They are running an old image, so they are missing:

udev permissions on bootup (thus they need to be root)
config-pin: an old version, that doesn't recognize the blue, and it'll "want" to load something...

(it'll probally work if they run as root)

@RobertCNelson Yeah, that user is out of date but I also tried this on current image. The regression is due to this commit by @MarkAYoder 35718a9

It causes all BeagleBones to attempt to use the LED class (for example /sys/class/leds/red/brightness) for GPIO pins (like gpio66) that are connected to LEDs on the Blue. This results in error on White/Black/Green when trying to use one of those GPIO pins (like P8_7) as the LED path will not exist.

For example, regression when trying to use P8_7 on BeagleBone Black:

import Adafruit_BBIO.GPIO as GPIO
GPIO.setup("P8_7", GPIO.OUT)

Results in:

$ sudo python /home/debian/test-gpio.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/debian/test-gpio.py", line 2, in <module>
    GPIO.setup("P8_7", GPIO.OUT)
ValueError: Set gpio value failed, missing file or invalid permissions.

strace reveals:

access("/sys/class/gpio/gpio66", R_OK|W_OK|X_OK) = 0
nanosleep({0, 100000000}, NULL)         = 0
open("/sys/class/leds/red/brightness", O_WRONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

I can confirm that it is broken for BB Black. The pins affected are P8_07, P8_08, P8_17, P8_26 and P8_32.
As a temporary workaround one may change constants in event_gpio.h, lines 51-55:

#define USR_LED_RED 1001 //66 P8_07 - broken for BB black
#define USR_LED_GREEN 1002 //67 P8_08- broken for BB black
#define BAT25 1003 //27 P8_17- broken for BB black
#define BAT50 1004 //11 P8_32 broken for BB black
#define BAT75 1005 //61 P8_26 broken for BB black
