#69 Model B+: invalid channel for pins greater 26

[kofler]

with model b+, I can only address the new GPIO pins with gpio.setmode(gpio.BCM). If I use gpio.setmode(gpio.BOARD) instead, I get The channel sent is invalid on a Raspberry Pi errors for pin numbers greater 26.

Tested with 0.5.6 today (Jul 22nd)

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

#!/usr/bin/python3 try: import RPi.GPIO as gpio, sys, time gpio.setmode(gpio.BOARD) # use P1 pin numbers gpio.setup(pinLed, gpio.OUT, 37) except RuntimeError: print("use sudo!") sys.exit()

Will investigate as soon as I get the chance - probably tomorrow

[kofler]

my listing is wrong, corrected here

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

#!/usr/bin/python3 try: import RPi.GPIO as gpio, sys, time gpio.setmode(gpio.BOARD) # use P1 pin numbers gpio.setup(37, gpio.OUT, 0) except RuntimeError: print("use sudo!") sys.exit()

Fix now in source code repository - will be in next release

[Andrew Scheller]

Any idea when a release with this fix included will be pushed out?
I'd imagine there's probably quite a few B+ owners by now...

Fixed in release 0.5.7
