problem installing "Pi tools" addon

Hello,

I'm trying to install a Shutdown buttons to my Raspberry pi 3B, I followed a few forums and here is what I did;

1. mkdir /storage/.Scripts

2. nano /storage/.scripts/shutdown_pi.py

In "/storage/.scripts/shutdown_pi.py" I have the following instructions;

#!/bin/python
# Simple script for shutting down the raspberry Pi at the press of a button.
# by Inderpreet Singh


import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
import os


# Use the Broadcom SOC Pin numbers
# Setup the Pin with Internal pullups enabled and PIN in reading mode.
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(18, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down = GPIO.PUD_UP)


# Our function on what to do when the button is pressed
def Shutdown(channel):
    os.system("sudo shutdown -h now")


# Add our function to execute when the button pressed event happens
GPIO.add_event_detect(18, GPIO.FALLING, callback = Shutdown, bouncetime = 2000)


# Now wait!
while 1:
    time.sleep(1)

3. nano /storage/.config/autostart.sh

in "/storage/.config/autostart.sh" I have the following instructions:

(
python /storage/.Scripts/shutdown_pi.py
) &

3. I went in the libreELEC UI and did the following;

Program ---> Get more ... ---> Raspberry Pi Tools ---> install

4. reboot

when I tested the buttons nothing happened so I tried;

LibreELEC:~/.Scripts # python shutdown_pi.py

here is what I got:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "shutdown_pi.py", line 5, in <module>
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
ImportError: No module named RPi.GPIO

Is there a step I forgot?, or is there another thing I need to install?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks, (but no joy yet)

Followed the step in ( Config.txt - LibreELEC and Guide To lirc rpi GPIO Receiver - OpenELEC)

added; dtoverlay=lirc-rpi at the end of the config.txt

still no joy...

when I re-tried;

LibreELEC:~/.Scripts # python shutdown_pi.py

I'm still having the same error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "shutdown_pi.py", line 5, in <module>
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
ImportError: No module named RPi.GPIO

you'll need to add the path

at the top of your script you will need something like

Code

import sys
sys.path.append('/storage/.kodi/addons/virtual.rpi-tools/lib')

or something similar, I can't remember the exact path

Thank you,

I no longer have " ImportError: No module named RPi.GPIO".. and when I do, " LibreELEC:~/.Scripts # python shutdown_pi.py" it stops and waits, which is what it is supposed to do.

but when I press the button nothing happens... I even tried after reboot...

Tomorrow I'ill have a look and see if the wires are connected correctly (I mean it's kind of late right now, where i' am at),
I believe all the wires are connected correctly, but just to make sure I'll have a look (but tomorrow not now ).

Anyway now I think I have a problem with the autostart.sh file... I must admit that I didn't fully understand the instruction, and I'm pretty sure that I messed it up somehow... so a little help on that front would be nice. (tuto I used is: Autostart.sh - OpenELEC )

I know the code in " shutdown_pi.py " works since I used it on a Rpi 2B with a Raspbian OS, the only difference is the autostart.sh part...

ps: You are right for the path (it is not similar, IT IS: ('/storage/.kodi/addons/virtual.rpi-tools/lib'), thought you should know you remembered right .

Only thing I can see wrong is that you change the use of "scripts" and "Scripts". So watch your capitalization and keep it consistent (lowercase is preferred).

Thank you Irusak,

So I changed ".Scripts" to ".scripts", that did the trick.. works great!!!
(all-thought I do not understand why the "UpperCase" did not work, as long as I have UpperCase ".S" everywhere it should have been ok)

Anyway thanks again for your help!!!
