PIFACERELAYPLUS

Former Member
Former Member over 9 years ago

I hope you can help, I am sure that my question is really easy to resolve but first I think a little introduction .

 

I am recently retired and looking for a pastime, I remembered the fun I had with our two children making robots using Technik Lego, Sinclair Spectrum and an interface box called “ROBOTECH”

 

I decided to buy a Raspberry Pi and have started learning Python3, I do not find it easy to learn, from a book only, so thought I would add the PI Face Relay+ to give me the same inputs and outputs as I had on the Spectrum.

 

I downloaded the PiFace “Getting started “ and started to run through the spec and to run the setup procedure, it was only after several hours of frustration that I happened upon other instructions for other Piface products which lead me to load other software and to configure the Pi. This extra download and config is not mentioned at all in the Piface relay+ “Getting Started”

 

I am now able to run the Testing and the Example, so far so good.

 

I now come to my problem, no where can I find instructions as to how to use the GPIO pins on the PiFacerelayplus board.

 

I only need a nudge in the right direction, but at the present time I am lost.

    All though I do not have the PiFace I have done some searching around the internet and if you are referring to the PiFace Relay+ relays then

     

    import pifacerelayplus

     

    pfr = pifacerelayplus.PiFaceRelayPlus(pifacerelayplus.RELAY)

     

    pfr.relays[ 0].toggle() // The [0] refers to the relays number that is being flipped on or off.

     

    If you are referring to the gpio on the PiFace and NOT the PiFace Relay+ (which from my research appears to be an add-on) then read the PiFace documentation in addition to the PiFace Relay+ documentation.

     

    Hope this helps, I might be completely off but from my understanding this appears to be correct.

    Hello jala2

    Welcome to the element14 Community, we hope you enjoy it! I will move this over to the Raspberry Pi Accessories area as it is a better fit.

     

    Thank you,

     

    Jamie
