<H2>HiPi::Pin</H2><p>HiPi::Pin provides an abstract GPIO Pin class that acts as a base for common implementations of the basic pin functions</p>
<p>Currently the following concrete classes derive from HiPi::Pin:</p>

<UL>
<li><A HREF="pin_modules_gpio.htm">HiPi::Device::GPIO::Pin</A>
<li><A HREF="pin_modules_wiring.htm">HiPi::Wiring::Pin</A>
<li><A HREF="pin_modules_bcm2835.htm">HiPi::BCM2835::Pin</A>
</UL>

<p>Classes based on HiPi::Pin inherit the following methods:</p>
<h3>Object Methods</h3>
<h5>$pin->value( [ $newval ] );</h5>
<pre>    Returns the current level value of the pin 
    ( 1 or 0 for high or low )
    If the optional $newval is provided, sets the pin 
    to that value if possible ( e.g. pin is an output ).
    When $newval is specified, that is the value returned.</pre>
<h5>$pin->mode( [ $newval ] );</h5>
<pre>    Returns the current function of the pin.
    This is one of the values:

            RPI_PINMODE_INPT 
            RPI_PINMODE_OUTP 
            RPI_PINMODE_ALT0 
            RPI_PINMODE_ALT1
            RPI_PINMODE_ALT2 
            RPI_PINMODE_ALT3 
            RPI_PINMODE_ALT4 
            RPI_PINMODE_ALT5
     
    You can import these constants into your namespace using

    use HiPi::Constant qw( :raspberry );

    If the optional $newval is provided, sets the pin 
    function to that value.
    When $newval is specified, that is the value returned.

    The kernel gpio device driver provides access only for switching
    the pin function between input and output. You cannot set a pin
    to an alternate function using the HiPi::Device::GPIO::Pin 
    implementation. For that implmentation a value of RPI_PINMODE_OUTP
    sets the pin to an output while all other values set the pin to
    an input. You cannot access the pins through the kernel sysfs
    interface when they are assigned to alternate functions.</pre>
<h5>$pin->interrupt( [ $newmask ] );</h5>
<pre>    Returns the current edge settings of the pin.
    This is am or'd mask of the following values:

            RPI_INT_NONE 
            RPI_INT_FALL 
            RPI_INT_RISE
            RPI_INT_AFALL
            RPI_INT_ARISE
            RPI_INT_HIGH
            RPI_INT_LOW
     
    You can import these constants into your namespace using

    use HiPi::Constant qw( :raspberry );

    If the optional $newmask is provided, sets the pin 
    edge settings according to the mask to that value.
    When $newmask is specified, that is the value returned.

    All HiPi modules only support RPI_INT_NONE, RPI_INT_FALL, 
    and RPI_INT_RISE or an or'd mask of RPI_INT_FALL|RPI_INT_RISE.

    The <A HREF="mod_device_gpio.htm">HiPi::Device::GPIO</A> module uses these values with the
    true interrupts provided by the kernel gpio driver as 
    exported to the sysfs file space.

    The <A HREF="mod_gpio_bcm2835.htm">HiPi::BCM2835</A> and <A HREF="mod_gpio_wiring.htm">HiPi::Wiring</A> interrupt functions 
    are pseudo implementations that poll the pin value for
    changes. Mask values containing RPI_INT_AFALL, RPI_INT_ARISE, 
    RPI_INT_HIGH or RPI_INT_LOW are translated to RPI_INT_FALL,
    RPI_INT_RISE or both as appropriate.
</pre>
<h5>$pin->set_pud( $setting );</h5>
<pre>    Sets the pull up / pull down resitor on this pin.
    $setting can be one of

            RPI_PUD_OFF 
            RPI_PUD_UP 
            RPI_PUD_DOWN
     
    You can import these constants into your namespace using

    use HiPi::Constant qw( :raspberry );

    Note: The settings last across restarts so it is up to
    you to record settings applied and control resetting as 
    you require.
