I was working with a very simple code: import RPi.GPIO as GPIO GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM) GPIO.setup(24,GPIO.OUT) GPIO.output(24,GPIO.HIGH)
But after running one time when I am running the code nect time the Thonny IDE is showing me RuntimeWarning: This channel is already in use, continuing anyway. Use GPIO.setwarnings(False) to disable warnings. GPIO.setup(24,GPIO.OUT)
Why is this happening?
The GPIO is still working, it's the software refusing to continue without a warning unless you correct the condition causing the warning.
Either do what the warning message says or add the following line at the (logical) end of your script.
GPIO.cleanup()
