node-red-node-hbgpio
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
A <a href="http://nodered.org" target="_new">Node-RED</a> node to read and write the digital IO of a SolidRun HummingBoard.
|
|
|
|
Install
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
**This install is for Debian based OS on Hummingboard.**
|
|
|
|
Run the following command in your Node-RED user directory - typically `~/.node-red`
|
|
|
|
npm install node-red-node-hpgpio
|
|
|
|
**Note :** This **should** be run as root in order to move and set SUID permissions on a script to talk to the gpio pins. Alternatively you can run as a normal user and then move the file and change permissions manually.
|
|
|
|
sudo cp node_modules/node-red-node-hpgpio/gpiohb /usr/local/bin/
|
|
sudo chmod 4755 /usr/local/bin/gpiohb
|
|
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Hummingboard GPIO input and output nodes.
|
|
|
|
This requires a small script (gpiohb) to run as root in order to work. It should be placed in /usr/local/bin/ and have SUID permissions 4755.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** We are using the actual physical pin numbers as they are easier to locate.
|
|
|
|
### Output node
|
|
|
|
Expects a `msg.payload` with either a 0 or 1 (or true or false).
|
|
|
|
Will set the selected physical pin high or low depending on the value passed in.
|
|
|
|
The initial value of the pin at deploy time can also be set to 0 or 1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Input node
|
|
|
|
Generates a `msg.payload` with either a 0 or 1 depending on the state of the input pin.
|
|
|
|
The `msg.topic` is set to *pin/{the pin number}*
|
|
|
|
**Note:** The input node waits for a change on the level of the pin before reading the value - and then resets to wait for the next interrupt - so it is possible to miss very fast changes as we may still be reading the value when the second edge occurs.
