Hi erveryone,
May be you can give a hint to me what can be the cause for no longer working PiFace Digital2 with new Raspbian OS 2018-06-27
HW: raspberrypi 3 (not plus)
cat /etc/rpi-issue

PiFace Digital2 worked fine using gpio -p ...commands using bash
root@pi7:~# apt-get update
root@pi7:~# apt-get upgrade
root@pi7:~# apt-get dist-upgrade
>>> PiFace Digital2 stopped working
Test (that worked before update):
root@pi7:~# i=200;gpio -p mode $i input # using bash returned message below
pinMode: You have not called one of the wiringPiSetup
functions, so I'm aborting your program before it crashes anyway.
Old working bash commands for PiFace no longer work with wiringpi 2.46 when accessing PiFace Digital:
gpio -p mode 200 output # fails with new wiringpi, worked with old version
gpio -p mode 200 input # fails with new wiringpi, worked with old version
gpio mode 0 output # works fine with old and new wiringpi
gpio mode 0 input # works fine with old and new wiringpi
Hope there is a way to get out of this (bash) trap?
PS: I prefer bash, worked fine for me until update, no need for another programming language so far.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help
