Do the panels make any kind of noise? 

I highly doubt the panels will make any noise, but it is very common for the fan in the power supplies to make noise and depending on the power supply, the fans can turn on or off and even change speeds depending on the needs pf the PSU.

I have my P5 and P10 matrix panels in my family room during the off season - for testing.  I have never noticed any noise.

Do you have a hat installed that may be consuming pins?

You could likely run "gpioinfo" from the command line it it may show which process is consuming the GPIO pins.

This might not be controls related.  I moved my show inside and got my matrix running so I could post notes to my better half.  I noticed that when it is running a sequence there is a high pitched whine now.  I don't recall hearing it before and the weather got to single digits so the whole thing was very cold (but always worked).  Do the panels make any kind of noise?  They are P5 in a 4 wide by 2 tall configuration. Came from one of the  standard vendors, I don't remember exactly where i got them.  It might be the power supply but I have never had one make this kind of noise before.  TIA.

I might not understand how Python and FPP play together but I think FPP has that pin "busy". So skip the setup and just read "the other one".

I am currently running 8.4 on a system with input GPIO4 enabled on the falling edge to run a Python script.  I need to have the script check both GPIO4 and GPIO17 to see if one or both are low.  In Python, when I use

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(4,GPIO.IN)
GPIO.setup(17,GPIO.IN)

I get an error lgpio.error: 'GPIO busy' on the GPIO.setup(4,GPIO.IN) line.

Note this script runs under more conditions than only when GPIO4 is low, so I cannot merely assume GPIO4 is low.

What would be the best way to handle this?  Gpiozero also does not work.

@JonD Why do you insist in creating arguments in threads and taking them off topic from the original posters topic?  My reply was for the OP, not for you to start yet another argument.  Your opinion about facebook is irrelevant.

Since it is 2025, I think most people are aware of the website that is listed in most dictionaries.  If you don't have an account at this point, it is a choice.  You're not likely to convince a non-user to create an account, and suggesting for them to do so is probably just going to flame things.  Politely let people know the resources are out there and let it be.  If they are open to creating an account they will do so.  

OP was told the resources were available, then posted the question on this forum, and I think it was answered.

No... it really isn't. 

I'm not here to argue about facebook generally, my point is that if you are using xlights/fpp and not using the facebook groups for them then you are missing out on a huge resource because facebook is the place where the majority of the information is posted (for better or worse).  Like it or not, it's 2025 and most people refuse to use forums like this/xlights.
