NAME
RPi::Pin - Access and manipulate Raspberry Pi GPIO pins
SYNOPSIS
use RPi::Pin;
use RPi::Constant qw(:all);
my $pin = RPi::Pin->new(5);
$pin->mode(INPUT);
$pin->write(LOW);
$pin->set_interrupt(EDGE_RISING, 'main::pin5_interrupt_handler');
my $num = $pin->num;
my $mode = $pin->mode;
my $state = $pin->read;
print "pin number $num is in mode $mode with state $state\n";
sub pin5_interrupt_handler {
print "in interrupt handler\n";
}
DESCRIPTION
An object that represents a physical GPIO pin.
Using the pin object's methods, the GPIO pins can be controlled and
monitored.
This distribution can be accessed through RPi::WiringPi. Using that
distribution provides safety and cleanup procedures. Using this module
directly requires you to reset your pins manually.
We use the `BCM' (`GPIO') pin numbering scheme.
METHODS
new($pin_num)
Takes the number representing the Pi's GPIO pin you want to use, and
returns an object for that pin.
Parameters:
$pin_num
Mandatory, Integer: The pin number to attach to.
mode($mode)
Puts the pin into either `INPUT', `OUTPUT', `PWM_OUT' or `GPIO_CLOCK'
mode. If `$mode' is not sent in, we'll return the pin's current mode.
Parameters:
$mode
Optional: If not sent in, we'll simply return the current mode of the
pin. Otherwise, send in: `0' for `INPUT', `1' for `OUTPUT', `2' for
`PWM_OUT' and `3' for `GPIO_CLOCK' mode.
mode_alt($alt)
Allows you to set any pin to any mode.
Parameters:
$alt
Optional: If not sent in, we'll simply return the current mode of the
pin. The possible values of this method are as follows:
Value Mode
------------
0 INPUT
1 OUTPUT
4 ALT0
5 ALT1
6 ALT2
7 ALT3
3 ALT4
2 ALT5
read()
Returns `1' if the pin is `HIGH' (on) and `0' if the pin is `LOW' (off).
write($state)
For pins in `OUTPUT' mode, will turn `HIGH' (on) the pin, or `LOW'
(off).
Parameters:
$state
Send in `1' to turn the pin on, and `0' to turn it off.
pull($direction)
Used to set the internal pull-up or pull-down resistor for a pin.
Calling this method on a pin will automatically set the pin to `INPUT'
mode.
Parameter:
$direction
Mandatory: `2' for `PUD_UP', `1' for `PUD_DOWN' and `0' for `PUD_OFF'
(disabled the resistor).
set_interrupt($edge, $callback)
Listen for an interrupt on a pin, and do something if it is triggered.
Parameters:
$edge
Mandatory: `1' for `EDGE_FALLING', `2' for `EDGE_RISING', or `3' for
`EDGE_BOTH'.
$callback
The string name of a Perl subroutine that you've already written within
your code. This is the interrupt handler. When an interrupt is
triggered, the code in this subroutine will run. If you get errors when
the handler is called, specify the full package name to the handler (eg:
`'main::callback'').
interrupt_set
DEPRECATED; See `set_interrupt()'.
pwm($value)
Sets the level of the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) of the pin. Dies if
the pin's `mode()' is not set to PWM (`2'). Note that only physical pin
12 (wiringPi pin 1, GPIO pin 18) is PWM hardware capable.
Parameter:
$value
Mandatory: values range from 0-1023. `0' for 0% (off) and `1023' for
100% (fully on).
See RPi for details on how to modify the range to something other than
`0-1023'.
num()
Returns the pin number associated with the pin object.
