Yeah - threads. That is what I was looking for - the name so I could search for it, Thanks.

Hi - I know that this is the most basic of Python / Pi programs, to make a LED flash. I want to take this a step further (I am an experienced programmer) - is there an asynchronous call system in Python that would allow me to run the "flashing LED" function in the background whilst doing real work i...

This is very curious. I have now updated/upgraded raspbian to the very latest version. I have removed the calls to modprobe. I have disconnected from the clock from sense pin 17 (as it is a very noisy interface) and simulated it with a button on pin 14. And I STILL get the problem. I can click the b...

RPi.GPIO should be recent as I built and updated fresh for this project only a few weeks ago but I will check that. Thanks for the tip about w1 - I find it very hard to get reliable and up to date information on stuff like this and many "sample projects" online are not dated. I will check that out a...

That is right - the interval count is working correctly, but if you look at the times you will see that the first one of each set is only milliseconds after the last one of the previous set so what are supposed to be the 10 x 30 second pulses don't add up to 5 minutes. The first one of each set is a...

Hi - I have a program I am using to monitor a pendulum clock which works fine. However when I added a DS18B20 temperature sensor I started to get what looked like a spurious GPIO interrupt. I am at a loss to discover what is causing this. I have stripped the code to the bare essentials and tested it...
