Hi Curtis, I used to play a bit with a Beaglebone Black a few years ago, but it's now gathering dust at my father's place. I really liked it at the time.
Can you double check that you are correctly using your *work := func() ...* construct ? Here's what that documentation of the gobot.NewRobot initializer says at: https://github.com/hybridgroup/gobot/blob/master/robot.go#L104 "func(): The work routine the robot will execute once all devices and connections have been initialized and started" Could it be that your two *"button.On(...)"* handlers are actually only executed once, then they are lost for ever ? Maybe you can try using the Subscribe method ? https://github.com/hybridgroup/gobot/blob/master/eventer.go#L108 e,g, *myEventsChan := button.Subscribe()* (just before the *work := func()* block , then launch a go routing with that channel as a parameter ? ) Just a thought Cheers, Silviu On Sunday, 11 February 2018 23:21:57 UTC-5, Curtis Paul wrote: > > Anybody out there have any experience with BeagleBone Black and gobot? > I need some advice on how I could go about troubleshooting this...or if > you know what the issue is, etc... > > I have a very simple Gobot/GPIO Button circuit. > It should show output when button is pushed and then again when released, > but it doesn't do anything. > It's not working. > > Running image BBB-blank-debian-9.3-iot-armhf-2018-02-04-4gb.img.xz.
