RPi::Pin - Access and manipulate Raspberry Pi GPIO pins
use RPi::Pin; use RPi::Const 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"; }
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.
BCM
GPIO
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.
$comment
Optional, String: A custom name or purpose description to associate this pin with.
Sets/gets a description or name for the pin.
Optional, String: If sent in, we'll set the pin's comment to this value.
Return: The currently set comment for the pin.
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.
INPUT
OUTPUT
PWM_OUT
GPIO_CLOCK
$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.
0
1
2
3
Allows you to set any pin to any mode.
$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
Returns 1 if the pin is HIGH (on) and 0 if the pin is LOW (off).
HIGH
LOW
For pins in OUTPUT mode, will turn HIGH (on) the pin, or LOW (off).
$state
Send in 1 to turn the pin on, and 0 to turn it off.
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).
PUD_UP
PUD_DOWN
PUD_OFF
Listen for an interrupt on a pin, and do something if it is triggered.
$edge
Mandatory: 1 for EDGE_FALLING, 2 for EDGE_RISING, or 3 for EDGE_BOTH.
EDGE_FALLING
EDGE_RISING
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').
'main::callback'
DEPRECATED; See set_interrupt().
set_interrupt()
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.
mode()
$value
Mandatory: values range from 0-1023. 0 for 0% (off) and 1023 for 100% (fully on).
1023
See "pwm_range-range" in RPi for details on how to modify the range to something other than 0-1023.
0-1023
Returns the pin number associated with the pin object.
