Issues getting up and running on RPi5

[spectre1989]

Hi there,

I'm having some issues getting running on a RPi5 with 3.7in waveshare display, when I run startpapertty.sh I get these errors:

gpiozero found - using that instead of RPi.GPIO
Setting spacing to 0.

Looks like it can't find lgpio? Let me know if this is a common issue, otherwise I'll start digging

[mcarr823]

I don't have a pi5 to test with, but a quick bit of googling suggests that lgpio may be needed for the pi5 (whereas the fallback works fine for older raspberry pis).
You could try installing the lgpio library in the venv and then try again.
eg.
/home/joe/.local/share/papertty-init_venv/bin/pip3 install lgpio

[spectre1989]

Yeah I did try that, for some reason that installs a really old version of lgpio. I compiled it and created a wheel myself and installed that, still no dice - though a different error message that time. From the sounds of it though papertty hasn't been tested with the 5, so I've made a fork and I'll see if I can make some headway

[mcarr823]

I don't know what the situation is like elsewhere, but in my country at least the rpi5 is totally sold out even at inflated prices.
I might be able to get one when the 1GB models come out, but right now it doesn't seem likely.
So yeah, I don't think anyone's tested with the rpi5 yet. The change from rpigpio to gpiozero was necessary for rpi5 support, but I guess there's still more work to be done.

Any update here?
