GPIO access using Octave in Raspberry Pi 2

[Talles Parrini Dantas]

Hi, I tried to control the GPIOs of Raspberry Pi 2 model B using Octave according with this link: https://github.com/octave-de/octave-rpi-gpio

The commands are simple:

    $ wget http://www.open.com.au/mikem/bcm2835/bcm2835-1.16.tar.gz
    $ tar xzvf bcm2835-1.16.tar.gz
    $ cd bcm2835-1.16/
    $ ./configure
    $ make
    $ sudo make install

  $ make

Then open the Octave and just type

 octave:1> test_bcm2835oct

This should work, but an error message appears saying that the "test_bcm2835oct" wasn't found, but we are quite sure that everything was installed.

Does someone have an idea of what we are doing wrong? It's our first week working with the Pi and we are out of ideas.

Hello,

I dont know anything about Octave, but I do know that link you followed for
bcm2835-1.16 is very old and way out of date. That version of the code will
*not* work with RPi 2.

current version is at:
