Any chance to work with gpiozero?

the script gives error in raspberry pi5

[JoelKle]

I've forked the repo and replaced the RPi.GPIO with gpiozero. Now it works on my Pi 5.
https://github.com/JoelKle/rpi-rf/releases/tag/0.10.0
New release 0.10.0

@milaq Maybe this is helpful?

@JoelKle the forked version still doesn't work on Pi5 with the sample rpi-rf-receive.py file:

The output is this one
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/xxxx/Scripts/recieve.py", line 28, in <module> rfdevice.enable_rx() File "/home/xxxx/.local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/rpi_rf/rpi_rf.py", line 186, in enable_rx self.rx_device.when_changed = self.rx_callback ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gpiozero/devices.py", line 123, in __setattr__ raise AttributeError( AttributeError: 'DigitalOutputDevice' object has no attribute 'when_changed'

These are the libraries installed:

gpiozero 2.0
rpi-rf 0.10.0

Would you have any thoughts on this?

[JoelKle]

Oh yeah I should not copy/paste code generated by ChatGPT without testing it properly...
I've commited once again to my repo. It doens't throw an error but in my tests it looks like there's a wrong RX code returned. Maybe you can test it as well.

I'm not an expert for this 433Mhz stuff...

I've been struggling with the same issue for 2 days. @JoelKle you made my day!
The latest version in your fork works like a charm. I tested the receiver only. Thanks!

[epik0r]

Well. I can see the same issue as in your tests.

Pressing the same button all the time here:

By the way, I returned to Raspberry Pi 4 again and even there i cant get rpi-rf running successfully. Except with your fork, im pretty confused.

With C its working, i got totally different codes there:

./RFSniffer

Generally I got the following error. Doesn't matter which version of rpi-rf I install.

~/Work/rpi-rf $ ./scripts/rpi-rf_receive -g 17
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/bjoern/Work/rpi-rf/./scripts/rpi-rf_receive", line 28, in <module>

Hi to anyone reading this. I ran into the same problem trying to get this working. After installing the packages in the actual repository (not any forks) I ran into the RuntimeError: Failed to add edge detection.

I then went into the root user (sudo -i) and was able to run it with no issues. Not saying it will 100% fix the problem but worth a shot if you haven't.
