Python script on boot and Controller config on piplay menu

thak

Hi there!

Just a few question.... I didn't find something on this forum about how to add a python script on boot.
I just bought a GPIO Xmas tree (http://www.pocketmoneytronics.co.uk/?page_id=239), and would like to light on boot :) (it work manually but when i add "sudo python exemple_1.py" in /etc/rc.local it didn't run at all.....)

And also, is it possible to change button assignement for piplay menu? if yes where? because with my controller (http://www.amazon.fr/CSL-Manette-ordinateur-portable-tablette/dp/B00O0PX1HK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1419418149&sr=8-2&keywords=snes+usb$) who works great out of the box by the way, control assignement are a little messy :) (X for validate, A for escape etc...)

Thx in advance for your answer!!

I think I worked out the problem... First make a file called xmas.sh
With the following code:

#!/bin/sh
sleep 10
sudo python example_1.py

Then add this to /etc/rc.local

/yourpath/to/xmas.sh.sh &

As for changing controls in the menu, have a look at

/home/pi/pimame/pimame-menu/controller.yaml

Thx for the tips, but unfortunatly, it didn't work.... When i try to run in commad line /home/pi/xmas.sh.sh => no such file.
So i tried this /home/pi/xmas.sh => permission denied
:/

For piplay control menu, everything is fine, thx!

Sorry that was supposed to be:

/home/pi/xmas.sh &

Then type this into the console

chmod +x /home/pi/xmas.sh

To make it executable

Ok so now the script works in command line but still don't work on boot :'(
Maybe i need to put it on other boot script than rc.local...?

Try putting it in /home/pi/.profile
It'll start later than using rc.local though

Hi!

Even in this file it still doesn't work on boot :'( (but still work manually)
Cause of xmas and New year i managed to test only today ^^

edit : i find a way, or my mistake... Don't know :p

I add 2 lines in /home/pi/.profile
cd ~
/home/pi/xmas.sh &

With this it works :D
Thx!
