GPIO 26 and 27 aren't currently working so a modification needs to be made to the software on both the python and firmware side.

Pretty high priority

No pull ups or pull downs are required to be programmed in.

System: macOS Sierra v10.12.3
MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012)
Intel Core i7 2.7 G
16GB 1600MHz DDR3

When I plug the Rtk.GPIO into my MacBook Pro the screen blacks out and after a while it shows the system is getting problem and needs to be restarted.

Dear Ryan,

I understand you are using anyio as a base for your code.

While this as the benefit to exist, it has a very strange software licence https://github.com/whaleygeek/anyio/blob/master/LICENSE that might be very restrictive and far from compatible with other licence:

1. For educational or non commercial purposes.
2. You agree to not restrict my rights in the use of this Software in any way.

Do you have a formal agreement with the original copyright owner?

What does that mean that the software needed for using the RTk and what does that mean for any software that use the library?

What about the firmware running in the board, what is the licence for that one.

Could you clarify the licence status of your project?

Regards.

@lurch Pointed out that the odd add-on may use GPIO 0 & 1 pins which are located on the HAT EEPROM Pins.

Currently these are not wired up and the original plan was for them to not be.

The MCU may have one or two pins free. The question is weather they should be used as GPIO or not.

Need to add a dummy function for GPIO set warnings

The MCU has a built in ADC that can be used on most pins.

While not strictly RPi.GPIO it may be nice to enable the use of these as a selling point of being used with a Pi.

I just noticed that LICENSE says:
"Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy
of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to use the
Software for educational or non commercial purposes."

Does the Kickstarter campaign not count as commercial purposes? ;)
Does this mean we can't use the RTK.GPIO board for commercial purposes?

Some clarification would be great...

Inputs need to be fixed in python 3 as identified by the jenkins build.

Serial library needs re- bundling with it instead of using host lib
