===================

|
|
|
||
|
|
A <a href="http://nodered.org" target="_new">Node-RED</a> node for Raspberry Pi
|
||
|
|
to read range from an SRF05 Ultrasonic range sensor.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Only** works with a Raspberry Pi.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Install
|
||
|
|
-------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Run the following command in the root directory of your Node-RED install.
|
||
|
|
This is usually `~/.node-red`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
npm install node-red-node-pisrf
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Usage
|
||
|
|
-----
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Raspberry Pi input from an SRF04 or SRF05 ultrasonic range finder.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The configuartion requires two GPIO pin numbers, the trigger pin and the echo pin.
|
||
|
|
These can be any spare valid Pi GPIO pins. e.g.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
7,11
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Outputs a <b>msg.payload</b> with a number representing the range in cm.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Produces one measure every 0.5s - but only if the distance is different from the previous reading.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Note:** we are using the actual physical pin numbers on connector P1 as they are easier to locate.
