Dave Jones 8e0c6e243b Refactor low level implementation
This commit is a fairly major piece of work that abstracts all pin
operations (function, state, edge detection, PWM, etc.) into a base
"Pin" class which is then used by input/output/composite devices to
perform all required configuration.

The idea is to pave the way for I2C based IO extenders which can present
additional GPIO ports with similar capabilities to the Pi's "native"
GPIO ports. As a bonus it also abstracts away the reliance on the
RPi.GPIO library to allow alternative pin implementations (e.g. using
RPIO to take advantage of DMA based PWM), or even pure Python
implementations.

Recipes

.. currentmodule:: gpiozero
The following recipes demonstrate some of the capabilities of the gpiozero
library. Please note that all recipes are written assuming Python 3. Recipes
*may* work under Python 2, but no guarantees!
Pin Numbering
=============
This library uses Broadcom (BCM) pin numbering for the GPIO pins, as opposed
to physical (BOARD) numbering. Unlike in the `RPi.GPIO`_ library, this is not
configurable.
.. _RPi.GPIO: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/RPi.GPIO
Any pin marked ``GPIO`` in the diagram below can be used for generic
components:
.. image:: images/pin_layout.*
LED
===
.. image:: images/led.*
Turn an :class:`LED` on and off repeatedly::
from gpiozero import LED
from time import sleep
red = LED(17)
while True:
red.on()
sleep(1)
red.off()
sleep(1)
Alternatively::
from gpiozero import LED
from signal import pause
red = LED(17)
red.blink()
pause()
.. note::
Reaching the end of a Python script will terminate the process and GPIOs
may be reset. Keep your script alive with :func:`signal.pause`. See
:ref:`keep-your-script-running` for more information.
Button
======
.. image:: images/button.*
Check if a :class:`Button` is pressed::
from gpiozero import Button
button = Button(2)
while True:
if button.is_pressed:
print("Button is pressed")
else:
print("Button is not pressed")
Wait for a button to be pressed before continuing::
from gpiozero import Button
button = Button(2)
button.wait_for_press()
print("Button was pressed")
Run a function every time the button is pressed::
from gpiozero import Button
from signal import pause
def say_hello():
print("Hello!")
button = Button(2)
button.when_pressed = say_hello
pause()
Button controlled LED
=====================
Turn on an :class:`LED` when a :class:`Button` is pressed::
from gpiozero import LED, Button
from signal import pause
led = LED(17)
button = Button(2)
button.when_pressed = led.on
button.when_released = led.off
pause()
Alternatively::
from gpiozero import LED, Button
from signal import pause
led = LED(17)
button = Button(2)
led.source = button.values
pause()
Traffic Lights
==============
A full traffic lights system.
Using a :class:`TrafficLights` kit like Pi-Stop::
from gpiozero import TrafficLights
from time import sleep
lights = TrafficLights(2, 3, 4)
lights.green.on()
while True:
sleep(10)
lights.green.off()
lights.amber.on()
sleep(1)
lights.amber.off()
lights.red.on()
sleep(10)
lights.amber.on()
sleep(1)
lights.green.on()
lights.amber.off()
lights.red.off()
Alternatively::
from gpiozero import TrafficLights
from time import sleep
from signal import pause
def traffic_light_sequence():
while True:
yield (0, 0, 1) # green
sleep(10)
yield (0, 1, 0) # amber
sleep(1)
yield (1, 0, 0) # red
sleep(10)
yield (1, 1, 0) # red+amber
sleep(1)
lights.source = traffic_light_sequence()
pause()
Using :class:`LED` components::
from gpiozero import LED
from time import sleep
red = LED(2)
amber = LED(3)
green = LED(4)
green.on()
amber.off()
red.off()
while True:
sleep(10)
green.off()
amber.on()
sleep(1)
amber.off()
red.on()
sleep(10)
amber.on()
sleep(1)
green.on()
amber.off()
red.off()
Push button stop motion
=======================
Capture a picture with the camera module every time a button is pressed::
from gpiozero import Button
from picamera import PiCamera
button = Button(2)
with PiCamera() as camera:
camera.start_preview()
frame = 1
while True:
button.wait_for_press()
camera.capture('/home/pi/frame%03d.jpg' % frame)
frame += 1
See `Push Button Stop Motion`_ for a full resource.
Reaction Game
=============
When you see the light come on, the first person to press their button wins!
::
from gpiozero import Button, LED
from time import sleep
import random
led = LED(17)
player_1 = Button(2)
player_2 = Button(3)
time = random.uniform(5, 10)
sleep(time)
led.on()
while True:
if player_1.is_pressed:
print("Player 1 wins!")
break
if player_2.is_pressed:
print("Player 2 wins!")
break
led.off()
See `Quick Reaction Game`_ for a full resource.
GPIO Music Box
==============
Each button plays a different sound!
::
from gpiozero import Button
import pygame.mixer
from pygame.mixer import Sound
from signal import pause
pygame.mixer.init()
sound_pins = {
2: Sound("samples/drum_tom_mid_hard.wav"),
3: Sound("samples/drum_cymbal_open.wav"),
}
buttons = [Button(pin) for pin in sound_pins]
for button in buttons:
sound = sound_pins[button.pin.number]
button.when_pressed = sound.play
pause()
See `GPIO Music Box`_ for a full resource.
All on when pressed
===================
While the button is pressed down, the buzzer and all the lights come on.
:class:`FishDish`::
from gpiozero import FishDish
from signal import pause
fish = FishDish()
fish.button.when_pressed = fish.on
fish.button.when_released = fish.off
pause()
Ryanteck :class:`TrafficHat`::
from gpiozero import TrafficHat
from signal import pause
th = TrafficHat()
th.button.when_pressed = th.on
th.button.when_released = th.off
pause()
Using :class:`LED`, :class:`Buzzer`, and :class:`Button` components::
from gpiozero import LED, Buzzer, Button
from signal import pause
button = Button(2)
buzzer = Buzzer(3)
red = LED(4)
amber = LED(5)
green = LED(6)
things = [red, amber, green, buzzer]
def things_on():
for thing in things:
thing.on()
def things_off():
for thing in things:
thing.off()
button.when_pressed = things_on
button.when_released = things_off
pause()
RGB LED
=======
Making colours with an :class:`RGBLED`::
from gpiozero import RGBLED
from time import sleep
led = RGBLED(red=9, green=10, blue=11)
led.red = 1 # full red
sleep(1)
led.red = 0.5 # half red
sleep(1)
led.color = (0, 1, 0) # full green
sleep(1)
led.color = (1, 0, 1) # magenta
sleep(1)
led.color = (1, 1, 0) # yellow
sleep(1)
led.color = (0, 1, 1) # cyan
sleep(1)
led.color = (1, 1, 1) # white
sleep(1)
led.color = (0, 0, 0) # off
sleep(1)
# slowly increase intensity of blue
for n in range(100):
led.blue = n/100
sleep(0.1)
Motion sensor
=============
.. image:: images/motion-sensor.*
Light an :class:`LED` when a :class:`MotionSensor` detects motion::
from gpiozero import MotionSensor, LED
from signal import pause
pir = MotionSensor(4)
led = LED(16)
pir.when_motion = led.on
pir.when_no_motion = led.off
pause()
Light sensor
============
.. IMAGE TBD
Have a :class:`LightSensor` detect light and dark::
from gpiozero import LightSensor
sensor = LightSensor(18)
while True:
sensor.wait_for_light()
print("It's light! :)")
sensor.wait_for_dark()
print("It's dark :(")
Run a function when the light changes::
from gpiozero import LightSensor, LED
from signal import pause
sensor = LightSensor(18)
led = LED(16)
sensor.when_dark = led.on
sensor.when_light = led.off
pause()
Or make a :class:`PWMLED` change brightness according to the detected light
level::
from gpiozero import LightSensor, LED
from signal import pause
sensor = LightSensor(18)
led = PWMLED(16)
led.source = sensor.values
pause()
Motors
======
.. IMAGE TBD
Spin a :class:`Motor` around forwards and backwards::
from gpiozero import Motor
from time import sleep
motor = Motor(forward=4, back=14)
while True:
motor.forward()
sleep(5)
motor.backward()
sleep(5)
Robot
=====
.. IMAGE TBD
Make a :class:`Robot` drive around in (roughly) a square::
from gpiozero import Robot
from time import sleep
robot = Robot(left=(4, 14), right=(17, 18))
for i in range(4):
robot.forward()
sleep(10)
robot.right()
sleep(1)
Button controlled robot
=======================
Use four GPIO buttons as forward/back/left/right controls for a robot::
from gpiozero import RyanteckRobot, Button
from signal import pause
robot = RyanteckRobot()
left = Button(26)
right = Button(16)
fw = Button(21)
bw = Button(20)
fw.when_pressed = robot.forward
fw.when_released = robot.stop
left.when_pressed = robot.left
left.when_released = robot.stop
right.when_pressed = robot.right
right.when_released = robot.stop
bw.when_pressed = robot.backward
bw.when_released = robot.stop
pause()
Keyboard controlled robot
=========================
.. XXX Rewrite this using curses (to avoid evdev dep, which isn't packaged
on Rapsbian)
Use up/down/left/right keys to control a robot::
from gpiozero import RyanteckRobot
from evdev import InputDevice, list_devices, ecodes
robot = RyanteckRobot()
devices = [InputDevice(device) for device in list_devices()]
keyboard = devices[0] # this may vary
keypress_actions = {
ecodes.KEY_UP: robot.forward,
ecodes.KEY_DOWN: robot.backward,
ecodes.KEY_LEFT: robot.left,
ecodes.KEY_RIGHT: robot.right,
}
for event in keyboard.read_loop():
if event.type == ecodes.EV_KEY:
if event.value == 1: # key down
keypress_actions[event.code]()
if event.value == 0: # key up
robot.stop()
Motion sensor robot
===================
Make a robot drive forward when it detects motion::
from gpiozero import Robot, MotionSensor
from signal import pause
robot = Robot(left=(4, 14), right=(17, 18))
pir = MotionSensor(5)
pir.when_motion = robot.forward
pir.when_no_motion = robot.stop
pause()
Alternatively::
from gpiozero import Robot, MotionSensor
from signal import pause
robot = Robot(left=(4, 14), right=(17, 18))
pir = MotionSensor(5)
robot.source = zip(pir.values, pir.values)
pause()
Potentiometer
=============
.. IMAGE TBD
Continually print the value of a potentiometer (values between 0 and 1)
connected to a :class:`MCP3008` analog to digital converter::
from gpiozero import MCP3008
while True:
with MCP3008(channel=0) as pot:
print(pot.value)
Measure temperature with an ADC
===============================
.. IMAGE TBD
Wire a TMP36 temperature sensor to the first channel of an :class:`MCP3008`
analog to digital converter::
from gpiozero import MCP3008
from time import sleep
def convert_temp(gen):
for value in gen:
yield (value * 3.3 - 0.5) * 100
adc = MCP3008(channel=0)
for temp in convert_temp(adc.values):
print('The temperature is', temp, 'C')
sleep(1)
Full color LED controlled by 3 potentiometers
=============================================
Wire up three potentiometers (for red, green and blue) and use each of their
values to make up the colour of the LED::
from gpiozero import RGBLED, MCP3008
led = RGBLED(red=2, green=3, blue=4)
red_pot = MCP3008(channel=0)
green_pot = MCP3008(channel=1)
blue_pot = MCP3008(channel=2)
while True:
led.red = red_pot.value
led.green = green_pot.value
led.blue = blue_pot.value
Alternatively, the following example is identical, but uses the
:attr:`~SourceMixin.source` property rather than a :keyword:`while` loop::
from gpiozero import RGBLED, MCP3008
from signal import pause
led = RGBLED(2, 3, 4)
red_pot = MCP3008(0)
green_pot = MCP3008(1)
blue_pot = MCP3008(2)
led.source = zip(red_pot.values, green_pot.values, blue_pot.values)
pause()
Please note the example above requires Python 3. In Python 2, :func:`zip`
doesn't support lazy evaluation so the script will simply hang.
