Install
|
||
|
|
-------
|
||
|

|
|
Run the following command in the root directory of your Node-RED install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
npm install node-red-node-piface
|

|
|
Pre-reqs
|
||
|
|
--------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

Usage
|
||
|
|
-----
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A pair of input and output Node-RED nodes for the Raspberry Pi PiFace Digital add-on board.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###Output
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The PiFace output node will set the selected relay, LED, or pin on or off depending on the value passed in. Expects a <b>msg.payload</b> with either a 1 or 0 (or true or false).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Requires the WiringPi gpio command in order to work (see pre-reqs).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###Input
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The PiFace input node generates a <b>msg.payload</b> with either a 0 or 1 depending on the state of the input pin.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You may also enable the input pullup resistor if required.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The <b>msg.topic</b> is set to <i>piface/{the pin number}</i>
|
||

|
|
||
|
|
Requires the WiringPi gpio command in order to work (see pre-reqs).

||
|
|
|

|
|
<b>Note:</b> This node currently polls the pin every 250mS. This is not ideal as it loads the cpu.
