I've been using the "fix" in an app I've been writing for my son for a couple of days, and it seems to work fine.

Presumably, rather than use a specific value for the Sleep period, it would be preferable to use a while loop to return a zero status or timeout.

Btw, meanwhile I've found a problem in another example in the http://wiki.freepascal.org/Lazarus_on_Raspberry_Pi#PiGpio_Low-level_native_pascal_unit_.28GPIO_control_instead_of_wiringPi_c_library.29 page - I'll start a new thread about that.

Cheers, Martyn

Good to know a small delay works. The delay can probably be even smaller.

But checking for the existence of the gpio17 in a loop won't work 100% either.
Because the directory is first created with limited permissions.
After that the permissions are changed.

So actually, the wait should be for the correct permissions on the direction file.
