Raspberry Pi5 RuntimeError: Timed out waiting for PulseIn message. Make sure libgpiod is installed. about adafruit_blinka HOT 6 CLOSED

It works great now, thanks!

from adafruit_blinka.

I installed it on a fresh image and now it´s working, thank you very much.

I think the pulsein binary likely needs to be be recompiled for the Pi 5.

It didn't need recompiling, it just needed to use the correct gpiochip and offset.

Hello,
I have a similar situation, Pi5 and the DHT22 will not work. What have to be done to get it running?

I get the following error

(env) pi@instructorPI5:~ $ python3 dht.py
<module 'board' from '/home/pi/.local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/board.py'>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/pi/dht.py", line 12, in <module>
    dhtDevice = Adafruit_DHT.DHT22(board.D6, use_pulseio=False)
                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
TypeError: 'int' object is not callable

This is the code snipplet:

import time
import board
import Adafruit_DHT
print (board)
# Initial the dht device, with data pin connected to:
dhtDevice = Adafruit_DHT.DHT22(board.D6, use_pulseio=False)

@gkellershs I think adafruit_dht may need to be lowercase. See this example: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_DHT/blob/main/examples/dht_simpletest.py
