GPIO pin control and Linux support

[brycecherry75]

Are there any plans to include GPIO functionality (read/write/set as input/set as output) on GPIOx pins?
Also, is there any Linux support and if not, when will it be implemented?

Hi there,

There is a plan that GPIO control would be supported, soon or later.

Since this library is based on hidapi, and USB-HID is a universal standard, I would say it is a cross-platform library that you can use on any OS that runs Python (hidapi should be automatically installed while using pip install ch347api).

Even though differences are crossing different platform, there should be no difference using this libraray. For example, as for my specific application, I used it for my project that runs on arm64 device which is of course Linux based while tested on my Windows PC with the exact same code of module.
