Using pigpio, AM2320 sensor works with pigpio, not pigpiod
You might be better asking on the git repo: https://github.com/joan2937/pigpio

How to ser a Raspberry Pi 4B as an i2c slave device?
GitHub - joan2937/pigpio: pigpio is a C library for the Raspberry which allows control of the General Purpose Input Outputs (GPIO).

Need some help thinking...
Through this github, I found out I could use this to make it possible, but...(!) it needs to continue the script without exiting because it doesn't see one of the devices.

Using RPi GPIO from within ROS2 node (Ubuntu 20.04.4)
pigpio: Here is the repo, but the "abyz" link to the documentation looks to be broken. Not sure how to go about getting the daemon to work - I tried sudo pigpiod as the prompt in Python suggests, but sudo: pigpiod: command not found.

GPIO Programming on the Raspberry Pi: Python Libraries
The pigpio is an actively developed library with an impressive set of features: All GPIO pins of the Raspberry Pi can be read, written to, attached to interrupt handlers, and output PWM signals at the same time. Also, UART, I2C and SPI protocols are implemented. It is written in C and also provides Python bindings. Go to the official Github repository and build the newest version on your Raspberry Pi, or install it with apt install pigpio python-pigpio python3-pigpio.

Raspberry Pi, InfluxDB, Grafana, Docker
It was a bit tricky to get CPU temperature of a host machine (Raspberry Pi) from within the running docker container. This Issue on GitHub has helped me :

What can we do with python, exactly?
No. The pi 4 is not a microcontroller. However, I would recommend gpiozero for a regular pi4

mqtt-gpio: A service which connects MQTT topics to Raspberry Pi GPIO pins
I run it in K3s on Raspberry Pi OS. The service is built on gpiozero so should work on other devices. It is a very helpful building block in my DIY home automation system. It's a general purpose connector so it can be configured for many different uses. At present I use it to:

GPIO Programming on the Raspberry Pi: Python Libraries
Gpiozero is already installed in the current Raspberry Pi OS - if not, just run python3 -m pip gpiozero. The source code files can be accessed on Github. The official documentation on readthedocs.io provides rich information and plenty example code.

Build your SO their own "attention button" this Valentine's Day
The code we will write will be in Python. Let's start with just getting the button to register. We will be using the gpiozero library to do this:
