Modifying to only use one pin for one servo? about pibits HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi, if you use the new userspace servod.c implementation, all you should
need to do is comment the entries in the servo2gpio[] array that you don't
want. I.e. in you case, comment all entries but one.

What would I need to change in the kernal driver to only have it use one
GPIO pin?

Hello,

Firstly this module is fantastic!

I was curious though if you could do the same thing to the kernel driver as well? I was looking at the servoblaster.c code and that it had the following

static uint8_t servo2gpio[] = {
4, // P1-7
17, // P1-11
#ifdef PWM0_ON_GPIO18
1, // P1-5 (GPIO-18, P1-12 is currently PWM0, for debug)
#else
18, // P1-12
#endif
21, // P1-13
22, // P1-15
23, // P1-16
24, // P1-18
25, // P1-22

If I were to comment out all the lines except for pins 4 and 17 would that achieve the same thing?

@richardghirst Should commenting out still work? I tried that and everything seemed to compile and run fine, but my servo no longer responded to commands. When I first run servod it does list that I only had 1 servo...

It should still work, but I admit I've not tested that. I'll take a look
in the next couple of days.

@richardghirst After restarting my computer and recompiling again it worked for me.

Thanks for the awesome software!

Closing this as you can now specify which pins you want to use for servos via the --p1pins= option to servod.
