Sorry for causing a problem here... The lists you refer to are not present in the Gmane newsserver as a newsgroup so I cannot access it. I have asked about this on the Pi forum instead, but I fear noone (almost) over there use free-pascal so I have no high hopes. The user pi seems to be in the required group so I take it there is no need to sudo any execution of the program for user pi? pi@rpi2b-wheezy ~ $ groups pi pi : pi adm dialout cdrom sudo audio video plugdev games users netdev input spi i2c gpio I will try to locate an updated pigpio.pas file by asking in the Lazarus forum instead.
