Hey guys, I want to add a pyXBMCt script but I cannot find this at all. From what I can tell, it used to be part of Gothem? Im new to the whole thing but why dont I have the official Kodi repo? Is it even on it?

Library addons are not visible in the Kodi Addon Manager (although they used to be and I think it was a mistake to remove this feature). More info about PyXBMCt you can find in this thread: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=174859 Please carefully read all the available documentation before using PyXBMCt.

I got it running now. I use one of your demos to do what I want to do but I dont know how to change the label or add a script to it. Its a list window with 5 item choices. I would like to run the script I made for different GPIO actions. I have no idea what im doing outside of that with pyXBMCt. Alot of this stuff is over my head right now.

You need to learn a bit of python and how to use the module. I won't do it all for you as you'll learn nothing.
Have a read of the documentation. You should get an idea of how to change labels and add actions.
Once you've done that, I will help you link this to your gpio pins.

Ok, I have it edited to how I want the menu. Im lost as far as how I can controle more GPIO pins though. DO I need to repeat the script for each instance? Ill post my script:
PHP Code:

Try this:
If you look near the top, you'll see a variable called RELAYS. This is where you define your relays. Each item in the list is a "tuple": the first item is the name of the relay (i.e what shows on the screen), the second item is the GPIO pin number.
When the script runs, it will check which relays are already on and will set the "checked" flag accordingly.
Clicking on an item toggles the relay on and off.
Click "Finished" when you're done.
Let me know if it works. I've done it on my laptop so can't test it.

You are awesome!!! Works as advertised!! Man, I have alot to learn lol. Thank you so much!
