Recipes (Simple)
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
.. currentmodule:: gpiozero
|
|
|
|
The following recipes demonstrate some of the capabilities of the GPIO Zero
|
|
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 as a pin number. For
|
|
example, if an LED was attached to "GPIO17" you would specify the pin number as
|
|
17 rather than 11:
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/pin_layout.*
|
|
|
|
LED
|
|
===
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/led.*
|
|
|
|
Turn an :class:`LED` on and off repeatedly:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: examples/led_1.py
|
|
|
|
Alternatively:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: examples/led_2.py
|
|
|
|
.. 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.
|
|
|
|
LED with variable brightness
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
Any regular LED can have its brightness value set using PWM
|
|
(pulse-width-modulation). In GPIO Zero, this can be achieved using
|
|
:class:`PWMLED` using values between 0 and 1:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: examples/led_variable_brightness.py
|
|
|
|
Similarly to blinking on and off continuously, a PWMLED can pulse (fade in and
|
|
out continuously):
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: examples/led_pulse.py
|
|
|
|
Button
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/button.*
|
|
|
|
Check if a :class:`Button` is pressed:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: examples/button_1.py
|
|
|
|
Wait for a button to be pressed before continuing:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: examples/button_2.py
|
|
|
|
Run a function every time the button is pressed:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: examples/button_3.py
|
|
:emphasize-lines: 9
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
Note that the line ``button.when_pressed = say_hello`` does not run the
|
|
function ``say_hello``, rather it creates a reference to the function to
|
|
be called when the button is pressed. Accidental use of
|
|
``button.when_pressed = say_hello()`` would set the ``when_pressed`` action
|
|
to ``None`` (the return value of this function) which would mean nothing
|
|
happens when the button is pressed.
|
|
|
|
Similarly, functions can be attached to button releases:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: examples/button_4.py
|
|
|
|
Button controlled LED
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/led_button_bb.*
|
|
|
|
Turn on an :class:`LED` when a :class:`Button` is pressed:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: examples/button_led_1.py
|
|
|
|
Alternatively:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: examples/button_led_2.py
|
|
|
|
Button controlled camera
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Using the button press to trigger :class:`~picamera.PiCamera` to take a picture
|
|
using ``button.when_pressed = camera.capture`` would not work because the
|
|
:meth:`~picamera.PiCamera.capture` method requires an ``output`` parameter.
|
|
However, this can be achieved using a custom function which requires no
|
|
parameters:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: examples/button_camera_1.py
|
|
:emphasize-lines: 9-11
|
|
|
|
Another example could use one button to start and stop the camera preview, and
|
|
another to capture:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: examples/button_camera_2.py
|
|
|
|
Shutdown button
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
The :class:`Button` class also provides the ability to run a function when the
|
|
button has been held for a given length of time. This example will shut down
|
|
the Raspberry Pi when the button is held for 2 seconds:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: examples/button_shutdown.py
|
|
|
|
LEDBoard
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
A collection of LEDs can be accessed using :class:`LEDBoard`:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: examples/led_board_1.py
|
|
|
|
Using :class:`LEDBoard` with ``pwm=True`` allows each LED's brightness to be
|
|
controlled:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: examples/led_board_2.py
|
|
|
|
LEDBarGraph
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
A collection of LEDs can be treated like a bar graph using
|
|
:class:`LEDBarGraph`:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: examples/led_bargraph_2.py
|
|
|
|
Note values are essentially rounded to account for the fact LEDs can only be on
|
|
or off when ``pwm=False`` (the default).
|
|
|
|
However, using :class:`LEDBarGraph` with ``pwm=True`` allows more precise
|
|
values using LED brightness:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: examples/led_bargraph_2.py
|
|
|
|
Traffic Lights
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/traffic_lights_bb.*
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Using a :class:`TrafficLights` kit like Pi-Stop:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: examples/traffic_lights_1.py
|
|
|
|
Alternatively:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: examples/traffic_lights_2.py
|
|
|
|
Using :class:`LED` components:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: examples/traffic_lights_3.py
|
|
|
|
Push button stop motion
|
|

|
=============
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/reaction_game_bb.*
|
|
|
|
When you see the light come on, the first person to press their button wins!
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: examples/reaction_game.py
|
|
|
|
See `Quick Reaction Game`_ for a full resource.
|
|
|
|
GPIO Music Box
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
Each button plays a different sound!
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: examples/music_box.py
|
|
|
|
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`:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: examples/all_on_1.py
|
|
|
|
Ryanteck :class:`TrafficHat`:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: examples/all_on_2.py
|
|
|
|
Using :class:`LED`, :class:`Buzzer`, and :class:`Button` components:
|
|
|

|
.. IMAGE TBD
|
|
|
|
Make a :class:`Robot` drive around in (roughly) a square:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: examples/robot_1.py
|
|
|
|
Make a robot with a distance sensor that runs away when things get within
|
|
20cm of it:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: examples/robot_2.py
|
|
|
|
Button controlled robot
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
Use four GPIO buttons as forward/back/left/right controls for a robot:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: examples/robot_buttons_1.py
|
|
|
|
Keyboard controlled robot
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
Use up/down/left/right keys to control a robot:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: examples/robot_keyboard_1.py
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
This recipe uses the standard :mod:`curses` module. This module requires
|
|
that Python is running in a terminal in order to work correctly, hence this
|
|
recipe will *not* work in environments like IDLE.
|
|
|
|
If you prefer a version that works under IDLE, the following recipe should
|
|
suffice:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: examples/robot_keyboard_2.py
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
This recipe uses the third-party ``evdev`` module. Install this library
|
|
with ``sudo pip3 install evdev`` first. Be aware that ``evdev`` will only
|
|
work with local input devices; this recipe will *not* work over SSH.
|
|
|
|
Motion sensor robot
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
Make a robot drive forward when it detects motion:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: examples/robot_motion_1.py
|
|
|
|
Alternatively:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: examples/robot_motion_2.py
|
|
|
|
Potentiometer
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/potentiometer_bb.*
|
|
|
|
Continually print the value of a potentiometer (values between 0 and 1)
|
|
connected to a :class:`MCP3008` analog to digital converter:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: examples/pot_1.py
|
|
|
|
Present the value of a potentiometer on an LED bar graph using PWM to represent
|
|
states that won't "fill" an LED:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: examples/pot_2.py
|
|
|
|
Measure temperature with an ADC
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
.. IMAGE TBD
|
|
|
|
Wire a TMP36 temperature sensor to the first channel of an :class:`MCP3008`
|
|
analog to digital converter:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: examples/thermometer.py
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: examples/rgbled_pot_1.py
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, the following example is identical, but uses the
|
|
:attr:`~SourceMixin.source` property rather than a :keyword:`while` loop:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: examples/rgbled_pot_2.py
|
|
:emphasize-lines: 8
|
|
|
|
Please note the example above requires Python 3. In Python 2, :func:`zip`
|
|
doesn't support lazy evaluation so the script will simply hang.
