[Klug-general] Motor system on GPIO Raspberry Pi

Tue Oct 22 05:01:37 UTC 2013

I haven't seen it.

And purely out of interest but: when's the next meeting? And where?

The silence is sounding ominous.

      Sorry, to clarify:

      Type "cd /home/pi/Desktop/Python\ programs" to make LXTerminal understand that there's a space in the path.

      I was typing the reply on my phone and hit send before I meant to, so thought I'd clarify =)

      Cheers

        Re: GPIO

        Some new students need help running a GPIO system on a model B raspberry pi running Raspberian Linux, so I am forwarding this message to our KLUG group mailing list on their behalf....

        "We have connected the motor and battery to the GPIO RPi . 
        We have saved a Python program (developed using the Python Shell) in :          
        /home/pi/Desktop/Python programs
        If we click on: Python programs, we see the file: motor.py

        The problem is

        when we open LXTerminal we type: 

        cd /home/pi/Desktop/Python programs (is where our motor.py is)
        We get the error message
        "No such file or directory"

        We have formatted another Raspberian SD Card from scratch.

        In order to make our motor to work we need to use LXTerminal to find a directory where we have saved our file, and once we are in the directory we have to run the command: sudo python motor.py  to start our motor but LXTerminal says "No such file""

        Without actually seeing the system, based on the above log, any thoughts on what the problem is here?
