GPIO management change with the new Rapsberry Pi5

[Tim Curtis]

The compatibility shim is installed

Code:

pi@moode9:~ $ dpkg -l | grep lgpio
ii  liblgpio1:arm64                      0.2.2-1~rpt1                           arm64        Control GPIO pins via gpiochip devices - shared libraries
ii  python3-lgpio                        0.2.2-1~rpt1                           arm64        Control GPIO pins via gpiochip devices - python3 bindings
ii  python3-rpi-lgpio                    0.6-0~rpt1                             all          Compatibility shim for lgpio emulating the RPi.GPIO API

Script does "import RPi.GPIO as GPIO" and seems to run ok

Code:

pi@moode9:~ $ sudo /var/www/daemon/gpio_buttons.py
bounce=1000ms
