I am trying to manipulate the GPIO pins using python. I have used many examples from the web. However, I noticed weird behavior of GPIO ports.

1) If I make a port high, it becomes high momentarily and then again it turns low.

2) If I initialize a port for output then it stays high regardless of the value we set.

Can anyone please help me with that? I am using RPi 2.

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
from time import sleep
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)
GPIO.setup(12, GPIO.OUT)
GPIO.output(12, GPIO.HIGH)
sleep(10)
GPIO.output(12, GPIO.LOW)
sleep(10)
GPIO.output(12, GPIO.HIGH)
sleep(10)
GPIO.output(12, GPIO.LOW)
sleep(10)
GPIO.cleanup()

    Can you post the code you're using to switch your GPIO pins?

    Are you connecting anything to the ports? Please show your circuit.

  • It's difficult to fault that. Not much going on! Per David's comment above, is anything connected to the pins? There have been a lot of previous questions where things like cobbler boards have been connected back to front, leading to much confusion.

  • Have you tried any other libraries like gpio zero? This problem sounds strange though. Have you hooked an oscilloscope up?

1 Answer 1

Reset to default
-1

Instead of using GPIO. HIGH/Low try using 1 for high and 0 for low.
