Raspberry Pi GPIO Pin Controller and Schematic CLI

Set GPIO pins high or low, read them, and show pin schematics

Why? Because there should be an easy way to toggle GPIO pins, and read them... and show pin schematics, because they're impossible to remember

Installation

npm install -g pipin

Usage

  Usage: pipin [options]

  Options:

    -h, --help                 output usage information
    -V, --version              output the version number
    -l, --list                 list all models for pin schematics
    -m, --model [model]        show pins for model
    -r, --res                  display resistor band chart
    -t, --target [target]      raspberry Pi to connect for pin operations
    -u, --username [username]  username for SSH connection
    -g, --gpio [gpio]          GPIO pin to read or toggle
    -s, --state [state]        state (1 or 0) to set GPIO pin (1 = HIGH, 0 = LOW)

List available models

$ pipin --list

Show specific model

$ pipin --model rpi2

Sample output

Set a GPIO pin high/low

pipin -t <hostname-or-ip> -u <username> -g <gpio-pin-num> -s <1-or-0>

Example

Set the GPIO 2 pin to high on a host named raspberrypi using user pi

pipin -t raspberrypi -u pi -g 2 -s 1

Read the state of a GPIO pin

pipin -t <hostname-or-ip> -u <username> -g <gpio-pin-num> -s <1-or-0>

Example

Get the value/state of GPIO 2 pin on host raspberrypi using user pi

pipin -t raspberrypi -u pi -g 2

Show the resistor conversion chart

pipin -r
