It is easy to do: connect camera and use wire with 3.3V to configured input pin. Would be useful to check it on few pins. 3.3v is the maximum voltage you can apply to the GPIO. But I read somewhere that the minimum voltage for the GPIO to trigger is 1.6v.

I found the solution,
due to the nature of optocouplers, there wasnt any considerable voltage on the signal line to cause triggering. I was able to get the camera view to trigger by replacing the optocoupler with a voltage divider in the reverse lamp circuit. This gives me 2 volts on the signal wire when I shift into reverse which successfully triggers the camera view. If I really wanted to use the optocoupler, I could have ran scripts in the background to set GPIO 23 as a pull up pin and listen for a rising edge, but that seemed overly complicated and time consuming; the voltage divider is a much cleaner solution. Thanks for the input all. |
