RuntimeError: Failed to add edge detection

[andjarnic]

Hi..

Relatively new to RaspPi programming. Trying to set up a last minute Halloween prop with a motion sensor that activates a relay and plays a sound.

For some reason, on a clean boot, when I run my script it works. As soon as I ctrl-c out, then run it again, I get 4 consecutive

RuntimeError: Failed to add edge detection

before it finally works again.

The script:

Code: Select all

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
import sys
import random
import os
import pygame.mixer

pygame.mixer.init()

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(18, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP)
GPIO.setup(23, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP)

sounds = []

sounds.append(pygame.mixer.Sound('sound1.ogg'))
sounds.append(pygame.mixer.Sound('sound2.ogg'))
sounds.append(pygame.mixer.Sound('sound3.ogg'))
sounds.append(pygame.mixer.Sound('sound4.ogg'))
sounds.append(pygame.mixer.Sound('sound5.ogg'))
sounds.append(pygame.mixer.Sound('sound6.ogg'))
sounds.append(pygame.mixer.Sound('sound7.ogg'))

def play(pin):
  a = random.randint(0,6)
  print('playing...' + str(a))
  channelA = pygame.mixer.Channel(1)
  channelA.set_volume(1,1)
  channelA.play(sounds[a])
  l = sounds[a].get_length()

def play2(pin):
  a = random.randint(0,6)
  print('playing...B' + str(a))
  channelB = pygame.mixer.Channel(2)
  channelB.set_volume(1,1)
  channelB.play(sounds[a])
  l = sounds[a].get_length()

GPIO.add_event_detect(18, GPIO.FALLING, callback=play, bouncetime=1000)
GPIO.add_event_detect(23, GPIO.FALLING, callback=play2, bouncetime=1000)

try:  
    while True:
      pass 
finally:
  print 'removing events'
  GPIO.remove_event_detect(23)
  GPIO.remove_event_detect(18)
  GPIO.cleanup()
  print 'done'

GPIO.cleanup()           # clean up GPIO on normal exit 

So I have the try..catch block and remove the detects and do the cleanup. I am at a loss as to why every time I restart the script it keeps failing until 4 or so tries then it works again. Would be really great if there is a way to avoid this?

Thank you.
