GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD) Error

When creating a new instance of the Servo class an error is being thrown. It happens on line 142 where GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD) is being called.

ValueError: A different mode has already been set!

I am confused as to why this is happening since in my code I am not even using the RPi.GPIO class and therefore not setting the mode for the GPIO before this instance.

Hello

The error you are getting normally occurs if the GPIO mode has already been set by another program on the Raspberry Pi. I am not sure why you are getting the error if you have not used the RPi.GPIO class elsewhere.

I have updated the Servo Pi library to make it check to see if the GPIO mode has already been set and if it has, use the selected GPIO mode. Hopefully, this will fix the error that you are getting.

You can download a new version of the Servo Pi library from our GitHub repository at Servo Pi GitHub Repository
