Problem with GPIO push button inputs following Pypilot upgrade
#11
I think I nailed something, but I could only test it without lcd or hat, so this is not for everybody to test, only for you. You can download it from my fork. It's best to disable pypilot before you run the upgrade. Then, after the upgrade, enable pypilot in openplotter, then run pypilot_hat none at the prompt. Be aware that the web interface at :33333 kicks in only 30 seconds after the pypilot_hat is started.

yes, the web inteface is delayed, otherwise it would slow the loading of other more important things.

It's now also in the github master, so you can now run the standard procedure to update pypilot:

Code:
sudo systemctl stop pypilot
cd
sudo rm -Rf pypilot/ pypilot_data/
git clone https://github.com/pypilot/pypilot
cd pypilot
sudo python3 setup.py install

yes, keep in mind the pypilot_hat and pypilot_web are separate optional services as well

Yup those services also ought to be explicitly brought down prior to an upgrade. And pypilot_boatimu as well then, right?

yes, but it is mutually exclusive to pypilot itself.

It looked as if the issue has been resolved and so I re-installed Pypilot 0.24. If I run pypilot_hat the web page on 33333 does appear but it is not connected to pypilot. Still errors when I run pypilot_hat but the GPIO push buttons now work! Hooray!!!

Web interface is a known problem, see https://github.com/pypilotWorkbook/workb...-interface for the solution:

Code:
pip3 uninstall python-socketio python-engineio flask-socketio
pip3 install "flask-socketio<5"

To get rid of 'no lirc available' you should set pi.ir to False in the hat.conf.

If the gpio keys work, then it must be connected.

ensure the hostname is set to localhost in ~/.pypilot/pypilot_client.conf

I checked pypilot_client.conf and it is set to localhost on port 23322. I also ran the fix for the web-interface problem. The web page on 333333 is still not showing a connection to pypilot (Web Server Latency at the bottom shows "pn ms" ), but I assume all this page does is allow easy configuration of hat.conf and I can do this manually if needed. My system is working fine now with the GPIO push buttons and Pypilot Plugin in openCPN, so I will leave it alone and get on with some sailing!
Many thanks for all your help.
Regards
David
