GPIO on CHIP

Relaxing Natural Bug bot Steps:

  • Testing and documenting should be done at each step
  • Activate GPIO on chip
  • Understand commands for GPIO
  • Understand electrical current
  • Build breadboard circuit (Done)
  • Turn on lights
  • Make script for fading lights (1 for on, one for off)
  • Make script to run at certain times
  • Build physucal structure for setup
  • Create system for alarm variables (web interface)
  • Create App to set alarms and other variables
  • Refine app for visual appeal
  • Create system for adding wifi to chip (maybe bluetooth?)
  • Possible flash chip for lighter config

GPIO Chip Documentation

Note: first section explains about the different kernals and what may need to be done to accomidate. Bassically there is a number to each pin, but where that number starts is dependent on the kernal.
The link gives you a script to accomidate this.
In our case, we are in kernal 4.3 so have gpiochip408. (not sure if this applies to all pins but:)

  • For XIO-P0 - P7 you add to 408 to corrispond
  • ex: P7 is gpio415

  • Followed most of tuturial and could get LED on, but it was not very bright
  • Also, not sure how to do PWM so need to do some more work
