| Mar 25, 2022 at 10:17 | comment | added | ningelsohn | The mentioned solution resulted in new problems which I can't seem to solve because there is no documentation ... I no tried to do it with the SUID bit again, but apparently it has no effect for non-binaries in unix shells. | |
| Mar 24, 2022 at 22:06 | comment | added | ningelsohn | I actually now found a way to get the used package to work with /dev/gpiomem and I can run it without sudo. Now the problem is, that setting the led colors doesn't work like before ... if there's no solution, I will go back to using setuid and take a closer look - thank you! | |

| Mar 24, 2022 at 21:13 | comment | added | ningelsohn | I updated my question, seems like the package I am using doesn't supports /dev/gpiomem | |

| Mar 24, 2022 at 20:35 | comment | added | ningelsohn | Thanks, to both of you - actually I already found the question but I didn't get it to work. I will take a closer look. And even though setting the suid bit is not recommended, I am interested what I missed. The owner is root, the executable and suid bit are set and still when I run my python gpio script I get the dev/mem permission denied error. Also tried this with a bash script and whoami -> echoes pi. Its a bit frustrating, every solution I found is either not working or not recommended... | |
| Mar 23, 2022 at 18:49 | comment | added | mashuptwice | You should never ever set the SUID bit on a script As Daniel pointed out you can allow your normal user to access GPIO just fine. | |
| Mar 23, 2022 at 18:45 | comment | added | Daniel B | Instead, maybe check this. Nothing says you have to have root rights. // Using the setuid bit still makes the script run as root (except scripts cannot use setuid). I suggest you read up a little on Linux and chmod and whatnot. | |
