In order to execute Gpiod methods at your embedded device, you will need to have the libgpiod-dev package installed in your board. You can do that by entering the following command at the device's terminal:
$ sudo apt-get install libgpiod-dev
Output
To activate and deactivate any external component the embedded board is to change the value of the GPIO pin that will activate it.
package com.totalcross.DocRpi;
import totalcross.ui.MainWindow;
import totalcross.ui.event.ControlEvent;
import totalcross.ui.event.PressListener;
import totalcross.ui.gfx.Color;
import totalcross.ui.Button;
import totalcross.io.device.gpiod.GpiodChip;
import totalcross.io.device.gpiod.GpiodLine;
import totalcross.sys.Settings;
public class DocRpi extends MainWindow {
// Integers to store state of each LED pin, 0 (LOW) and 1 (HIGH)
private int stt;
// Buttons to control
private Button btn;
public DocRpi(){
setUIStyle(Settings.MATERIAL_UI);
}
@Override
public void initUI(){
// Board Setup
GpiodChip gpioChip = GpiodChip.open(0); // GIPIO bus
GpiodLine pin = gpioChip.line(21); //
// Set LED pins as outputs and default value stt
pin.requestOutput("CONSUMER",stt);
// The TotalCross button:
btn = new Button("Pin"); // Button instantiation
// without text
btn.setBackColor(Color.RED); // Set background color (red)
btn.addPressListener(new PressListener(){ // Press event listener
@Override
public void controlPressed(ControlEvent controlEvent) {
stt = 1 - stt; // Invert pin state
pin.setValue(stt); // Set value (HIGH or LOW)
}
});
add(btn, CENTER, CENTER);
}
}
Input
In several embedded applications, it is necessary to receive digital signal from an external component such as sensors or even to activate another component indirectly.
