[PLUGIN] RotaryEncoder II

T0MR0 · December 4, 2023, 5:45am

It already is in the beta channel. You can install it after enabling beta plugins under http://volumio.local/dev

Hi I have enabled the BETA Plugins.
Then I can see your Version V1.0.20.
When I deinstall old version V1.0.15 and install V1.0.20. or update V1.0.15 to V1.0.20, it promps that plugin was installed and enabled successfully.
However, in the “Installed Plugins” folder it shows deactive.
Then I try to activate it which prompts successfully and it again shows V1.0.15.
The Toggle issue remains.
Have I done something wrong?
Cheers Benjamin

please try this

uninstall the plugin
reboot
enter the plugin section
on the rotary encoder ii plugin, select “details”
click on “install v1.0.20 (Beta)”
when done, reboot

You make my day!!!
Thank you!
Now all is working fine and I have testet with different sources and scenarious. Works like a charme

Does this plugin require “gpio” from the wiringpi package to function properly? Because version 2.50 of wiringpi does not support the Raspberry Pi 5, and there are no current plans to release new versions of wiringpi at this time. It’s been forked and a 2.70 version of that fork is in the works, but with no expected release date.

I can’t get this plugin (version 1.15) to work on a Raspberry Pi 5 at all. When I install it, then reboot, it’s listed as “inactive” despite being enabled. It then refuses to be uninstalled. I also can’t get the buttons-gpio plugin to work, with the exact same issues.

T0MR0 · January 24, 2024, 7:33pm

Hard to tell. I do not have a Pi5 for testing.
You could try to generate a log file following the instructions in the first post of this thread.
Just installing and rebooting normally doesn’t produce the behavior you describe.

GoreMaker · January 24, 2024, 7:48pm

Upon further research, it seems to be specifically a Pi 5 issue. The GPIO of the Pi 5 is no longer accessible in the same way as it was on all previous iterations of the boards. That means the GPIO libraries in Raspberry Pi OS based on Bullseye cannot be used to interact with the GPIO on the Pi 5. And since Volumio is based on Bullseye and uses those repositories, there’s currently no way to install the correct libraries and utilities, even though Volumio was updated with a kernel that supports the Pi 5

I always inform myself before posting, just to avoid looking like an idiot…
Volumio is based on Buster

GoreMaker · January 24, 2024, 9:14pm

Good catch, I get confused with all the B words. Thank you for calling me an idiot because I referred to the wrong Debian distribution name, that’s super helpful. So far this forum has been a master class in how not to be welcoming by moderators. You’ve gotten really good at triggering negative responses. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy about the money I’ve given Volumio.

Wheaten · January 24, 2024, 9:19pm

Stupid me, I was thinking that I was help full.
I will stop my support, since you speak in plural.

GoreMaker · January 24, 2024, 9:28pm

You mean like calling me a freeloader? Yeah, thanks for that.

Just tested the plugin V1.0.20 on a rPi5, but it’s working as expected.

I had not yet tried 1.0.20. I just enabled the Plugins Test Mode, but because I can’t uninstall the 1.0.15 plugin (all attempts to do so the usual ways fail), I’ll need to remove it manually and start over

Wheaten · January 24, 2024, 10:10pm

Wait till tomorrow;

If no patience, run: (tested on a clean install)
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gpiod python3-libgpiod

GoreMaker · January 24, 2024, 10:24pm

Thank you, I’ll wait for the new build. I did install gpiod and python3-libgpiod but those things did not seem to resolve the issue I’m having with this plugin, even after I updated to 1.0.20. The specific thing I’m seeing that might be the issue is:

export_store: invalid GPIO 17

(GPIO 17 is the pin I’m trying to assign to a button)

GoreMaker · January 24, 2024, 10:25pm

Also I still can’t uninstall the plugin using the Uninstall button. I have to remove the directory from the file system and the entry from the json file manually to get it deleted

T0MR0 · February 12, 2024, 5:40pm

I think it would be good, to promote v 1.0.20 to stable - 1.0.15 still had some issues and there have been no reports about 1.0.20 not working.
There seems to be no documented way to trigger promotion…

balbuze · February 12, 2024, 5:56pm

I checked and no PR with 1.0.20 code was sent on github…; It is required to release…

T0MR0 · February 18, 2024, 8:58pm

Sorry, thought I had created one already. Obviously not - so I did some more improvements of how bad settings are handled, tested them and created a pull for 1.0.22 now
