Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Raspi GPIO

Gitter

Raspi GPIO is part of the Raspi.js suite of libraries that provides access to the hardware GPIO pins on a Raspberry Pi.

If you have a bug report, feature request, or wish to contribute code, please be sure to check out the Raspi IO Contributing Guide.

System Requirements

  • Raspberry Pi Model B Rev 1 or newer (sorry Model A users)
  • Raspbian Jessie or newer
    • Node-RED works, but can be finicky and difficult to debug.
    • See https://github.com/nebrius/raspi-io/issues/24 for more info about support for other OSes
  • Node 6.4.0 or newer

Detailed instructions for getting a Raspberry Pi ready for NodeBots, including how to install Node.js, can be found in the wiki

Installation

First, be sure that you have installed Raspi.js.

Install with npm:

npm install raspi-gpio

Note: this project is written in TypeScript and includes type definitions in the package.json file. This means that if you want to use it from TypeScript, you don't need to install a separate @types module.

Example Usage

In TypeScript/ES6:

import { init } from 'raspi';
import { DigitalInput, DigitalOutput, PULL_UP } from 'raspi-gpio';

init(() => {
  const input = new DigitalInput({
    pin: 'P1-3',
    pullResistor: PULL_UP
  });

  const output = new DigitalOutput('P1-5');

  output.write(input.read());
});

In JavaScript:

const raspi = require('raspi');
const gpio = require('raspi-gpio');

raspi.init(() => {
  const input = new gpio.DigitalInput({
    pin: 'P1-3',
    pullResistor: gpio.PULL_UP
  });

  const output = new gpio.DigitalOutput('P1-5');

  output.write(input.read());
});

Pin Naming

The pins on the Raspberry Pi are a little complicated. There are multiple headers on some Raspberry Pis with extra pins, and the pin numbers are not consistent between Raspberry Pi board versions.

To help make it easier, you can specify pins in three ways. The first is to specify the pin by function, e.g. 'GPIO18'. The second way is to specify by pin number, which is specified in the form "P[header]-[pin]", e.g. 'P1-7'. The final way is specify the Wiring Pi virtual pin number, e.g. 7. If you specify a number instead of a string, it is assumed to be a Wiring Pi number.

Be sure to read the full list of pins on the supported models of the Raspberry Pi.
