Pre-reqs
--------
Requires the WiringPi gpio command to be installed in order to work. See the <a href="http://wiringpi.com" target="new">WiringPi site</a> for details on how to do this.
Device Tree **must** be turned off. To do this run
sudo raspi-config
then select the `Advanced Options`, then `Device Tree`, and finally select `No`
and `OK`. You will then need to reboot.
It also requires the WiringPi gpio command to be installed in order to work.
See the <a href="http://wiringpi.com" target="new">WiringPi site</a>
for details on how to do this. The short version is...
sudo apt-get install git-core
git clone git://git.drogon.net/wiringPi
cd wiringPi
git pull origin
./build
Usage
-----
A pair of input and output Node-RED nodes for the Raspberry Pi PiFace Digital add-on board.

###Output
### 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).
