Hi to all. Am looking for some ultra simple, ready made script for this task:
- start the script on boot
- set high on some 3V GPIO
- wait for 2 seconds
- set low and exit the program
This is used for simulating button press and for no other purposse. I have made one relay board which should trigger relay with 3v / 2mA. When this happens relay contacts would simulate button press.

Have you considered getting on the actual rPi forums?
I am sure that your response there would be quicker and more definitive.

You can add your script in the file /etc/rc.local so it starts after boot.
/etc/rc.local ... /usr/bin/my_script ...
in /usr/bin/my_script add your commends. There exists a GPIO library to set and read GPIO pins, so it can be a simple bash-script (I forgot how that library is called, I do it al in C), OK, here:
In /usr/bin/my_script
#set GPIO someting gpio write X 1 # wait 2 seconds sleep 2 #reset GPIO someting gpio write X 0
# X is the GPIO pin number (check your GPIO version, A, B, B+ for what pins can be used . Make script executable with: chmod +x /usr/bin/my_script
Or something like that.
------------- OK. thank you, i will try. What do you think about this lib :
