Hello, I try to launch a node which contain a pigpio library command (init, read, write, handler ...) But roslaunch resend me :

±----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

|Sorry, you don’t have permission to run this program. |

|Try running as root, e.g. precede the command with sudo. |

±----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

It's pigpio access who need sudo right to initialise and so on. Have you an idea, how to get around that need ??

Thx, Thierry

I readden these links but anyone not give me a solution, they don't use pigpio but olders gpio version and they code in python not c++. PiGpio is the best library for me to manage interrupts with good result, others are dependent of cpu load.

This seems to me to be more of a pigpio question then.

The suggested approach seems to start the pigpiod daemon (with sudo) and use the pigpio_if2 library from userland (without sudo) to interface with it.

There is also a C library...

I think, i found my solution. With pigpiod_if2 library, that seem good .... Give you result later.

YES, i confirm. Declared pigpiod_if2 library in CMakelist.txt and used pigpio_if2.h in C or CPP file and launch pigpiod daemon at startup and no need to use sudo law. THAT'S OK

Hey, I am facing the same issue with ROS Noetic on a RP4 and Ubuntu 20.04. Just to make sure. Did you just link the pigpiod_if2 in the CMakeslist.txt to the Node which needs the pigpiod? My current approach: target_link_libraries(node_name pigpio) Do I need to change it to pigpio_if2 when i understand that correct? In cpp file you include <pigpio_if2.h> instead of <pigpio.h>, right? Sorry for the very basic question. I just started with ROS and RP4.
