Title: Could Retropie manage signal over GPIOs - Help with this.
Post by: takoni on September 15, 2017, 06:19:34 am

​Hi!
I look for help with this:
- Bartop arcade with rotating monitor.
- Retropie system with attrack mode in raspberry pi 3.

The rotation system is operated by Arduino with relays system thru a button.

Only if a vertical format ROM is selected would make the monitor rotates 90 degrees.

To return to the menu of roms the button to exit sends the monitor to horizontal.

I would need to send a signal with GPIOS of the raspberry when a rom is launched in vertical format from retropie with atrackmode
is it possible that retopie using the runcommand has the ability to execute an .sh or another type of script that can operate on the GPIOS?

I only need to replace button with GPIO signal.

Any ideas?
Cheers!
