Hi Lance I agree - it is totally confusing. I THINK I've got it to work. At least it runs through with no errors. I installed wiringpi2, and then changed all instances of wiringpi to wiringpi2. I also installed wiringpi (I have no idea if you need both). It will now run through without issue. Only w...

Hi Bertwert - about 10 mins ago! I'll have another go later. Thanks for the link - all helps to have a backup plan I reckon.

I will get this working. I WILL!

Thanks

Thank you all. Nice photos guys. The link was brilliant Jonnyni. I feel I'm starting to make headway at long last.

Thank you. I shall try this and let you know.

Hi Not sure whether anyone has tried this, but I have done the coding for the water drop project in the latest Magpi issue (31). I have installed the wiringpi as per the instructions at www.wiringpi.com and typed out exactly the coding. However, when I run it it falls over on the import wiringpi. It...
