#108 RuntimeError: This module can only be run on a Raspberry Pi! - RASPBX

[Chris DiTommaso]

I was using GPIO successfully on my Pi B+ with the standard Raspian load. I've switched to raspbx and now it feels that I don't have the proper processor... Is it possible to fix this?

What version of RPi.GPIO are you using? Check by doing a:
print(GPIO.VERSION)

[Ben Croston]

Is this still a problem with recent versions of RPi.GPIO and raspbx?
