Raspberry Pi GPIO Control

Former Member
Former Member over 12 years ago

I saw a picture on flickr, which interests me vey much. I want to make a same one, as I want to learn some more about GPIO control.

I got the raspberry Pi and this exact 8 channel relay. How can I do the wire up? There are many cables, I am a bit confused,

    You may want to tried this C program  for remotely switching GPIO pins over SSH. It's for the same relay you are having. I will be glad if you can give me your thoughts about the program.

     

    #include <wiringPi.h>

    #include <ncurses.h>

    #include <stdio.h>

    #include <stdlib.h>

    #include <stdint.h>

    #include <stdbool.h>

     

    int main (int argc, char *argv[]) {

    char charIn;

    int input;

    int pinStatus[8] = {0};                              //Set all array elements = 0

    int pinName[8] = {4,17,18,21,22,23,24,25};

    int i;

    int row;

    int col;

    int delay = 100;

     

    if (wiringPiSetup() == -1) return(1);          //wiringPi initialisations

     

    for (i = 0; i < 8; i++) {

    pinMode(i,OUTPUT);                              //GPIO initialisations

    }

     

    if (argc == 2) delay = atoi(argv[1]);

    if (argc > 2) {

    printf("Invalid Arguements.\n");

    return(2);

    }

     

    initscr();                                             //Initialise window

    noecho();                                             //Don't echo keystroke onto the window

    curs_set(0);                                        //hide cursor in terminal

    timeout(delay);

     

    while(charIn != 27) {                              //while ESC isn't pressed

     

    clear();

    getmaxyx(stdscr, row, col);

    for (i = 0; i < 8; i++) {

    mvprintw(row / 2 + i - 4,col/2 - 6, "GPIO%02d: %s\n", i ,(digitalRead(i))?"  ON":" OFF");

    }

    refresh();

     

    charIn = getch();

    input = charIn - 49;                         //get keypress data

    if (input >= 0 && input < 8) {               // check if keypressed

     

    switch ((digitalRead(input))) {

    case 0:

    digitalWrite(input,HIGH);

    pinStatus[input] = 1;

    break;

     

    case 1:

    digitalWrite(input,LOW);

    pinStatus[input] = 0;

    break;

    }

    }

    }

    clear();

    refresh();

    endwin();

    return 0;

    }
