Wiringpi

[RichNeese]

Please learn to use gpiod and stop using wiring pi . People may want to use this on other boards then a raspi and wiringpi breaks on other systems

[RichNeese]

as it stands with the cost of the pi right now other boards that work as well if not better are available . An being able to use boards that function and less cost right now is a must.

I just tried to install wiringpi following the instructions in install.txt. wget is failing with a 404 error.

yes, we must move away from wiringPi, it is only being used to manipulate the gpio lines and delay() functions. Should we just roll our own into a harware.c or arch.c file?

Just as a side note, I'm maintaining the WiringPi code (with support for armhf and arm64) as long as sbitx uses it. Here is the code:

RichNeese, as an open source project, you are also free to learn libgpio and make a PR.

I am just hacking away for now. We will have to refactor the great wasteland of sbitx_gtk.c and gather all the gpio calls into portable wrappers. - f

I re-wrote all the GPIO code using gpiolib here:

i2c is also done using libi2c and kernel-mode i2c bit-banging.
