NAME

RPi::WiringPi::Pin - Access and manipulate Raspberry Pi GPIO pins

SYNOPSIS

use RPi::WiringPi::Pin;
use RPi::Constant qw(:all);

my $pin = RPi::WiringPi::Pin->new(5);

$pin->setup;

$pin->mode(INPUT);
$pin->write(LOW);

$pin->set_interrupt(EDGE_RISING, 'pin5_interrupt_handler');

my $num = $pin->num;
my $mode = $pin->mode;
my $state = $pin->read;

print "pin number $num is in mode $mode with state $state\n";

sub pin5_interrupt_handler {
    print "in interrupt handler\n";
}

DESCRIPTION

An object that represents a physical GPIO pin.

Using the pin object's methods, the GPIO pins can be controlled and monitored.

Using this module outside of the base RPi::WiringPi object requires you to run one of the WiringPi::API's setup* methods.

METHODS

new($pin_num)

Takes the number representing the Pi's GPIO pin you want to use, and returns an object for that pin.

Parameters:

$pin_num

Mandatory.

Mandatory: The pin number to attach to.

mode($mode)

Puts the GPIO pin into either INPUT or OUTPUT mode. If $mode is not sent in, we'll return the pin's current mode.

Parameters:

$mode

Optional: If not sent in, we'll simply return the current mode of the pin. Otherwise, send in: 0 for INPUT, 1 for OUTPUT, 2 for PWM_OUT and 3 for GPIO_CLOCK (clock) mode.

read()

Returns 1 if the pin is HIGH (on) and 0 if the pin is LOW (off).

write($state)

For pins in OUTPUT mode, will turn on (HIGH) the pin, or off (LOW).

Parameters:

$state

Send in 1 to turn the pin on, and 0 to turn it off.

pull($direction)

Used to set the internal pull-up or pull-down resistor for a pin.

Parameter:

$direction

Mandatory: 2 for UP, 1 for DOWN and 0 to turn off the resistor.

interrupt_set($edge, $cref)

Listen for an interrupt on a pin, and do something if it is triggered.

Parameters:

$edge

Mandatory: rising (goes HIGH), falling (goes LOW), or both.

$cref

If not sent in, we'll disable and remove an existing interrupt for the specified edge. Otherwise, we'll set the interrupt, and when triggered, we'll execute the code in the subroutine code reference.

interrupt_unset()

Removes an interrupt from the pin, if set.

pwm($value)

Sets the level of the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) of the pin. Dies if the pin's mode() is not set to PWM (2).

Parameter:

$value

Mandatory: values range from 0-1023. 0 for 0% (off) and 1023 for 100% (fully on).

num()

Returns the pin number associated with the pin object.
