Hi! I have a pi zero w, inkyphat attached to it. I soldered a simple button to GPIO pin 2 and ground on the bottom of the pi. My button works if I try it with a separate script. My inkyphat loads my images from a folder with a simple script. However, if I try to add gpio button input to my image script (I want to display a random image from a folder on button press), this totally works, but only after a fresh boot and the first time I run the script. When I stop the script and run it again I always get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/pi/inky/drawimagebutton.py", line 5, in <module>
inky_display = auto()
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/inky/auto.py", line 68, in auto
raise RuntimeError("Can't find a driver this display.")
RuntimeError: Can't find a driver this display.
My guess is it’s because I add this: from gpiozero import Button, and initialize a button: button = Button(2)
This is my horrible script that works, but just once :P
from gpiozero import Button
from inky.auto import auto
import os, random, time
inky_display = auto()
inky_display.set_border(inky_display.WHITE)
from PIL import Image, ImageFont, ImageDraw
img = Image.new("P", (inky_display.WIDTH, inky_display.HEIGHT))
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(img)
def displayimage(image):
img = Image.open("images/" + image)
inky_display.set_image(img)
inky_display.show()
print("Printing image: " + image_selected)
time.sleep(30)
button = Button(2)
old_image = random.choice(os.listdir("images/"))
print("Press button to set up new image!")
while True:
#Find random image from folder, but make sure it's not the same as the previous one
while True:
image_selected = random.choice(os.listdir("images/"))
if old_image != image_selected:
#Print the name of the image
print("Image selected: " + image_selected)
break
else:
print("Same image selected. Picking new image...")
#img = Image.open("images/image1.png")
#Display the image
button.when_pressed = lambda: displayimage(image_selected)
Thank you so much for any help. I love this so much already. I mean it did what I wanted to do already and I’m brand new to this! Just hope I can fix this issue :)
