Installation
------------

[](#installation)

The recommended way to install is through [Composer](http://getcomposer.org).

```
{
    "require": {
        "se/wired-pi": "dev-master"
    }
}
```

WiredPi uses internally the WiringPi library. A big thank you [@drogon](https://twitter.com/drogon). To install it follow the following steps:

```
$ cd /opt
$ sudo mkdir wiringpi
$ sudo chown $USER ./wiringpi
$ cd wiringpi
$ git clone git://git.drogon.net/wiringPi ./
$ git pull origin
$ ./build
```

(The package git-core is needed for git operations. Install it via *sudo apt-get install git-core*. )

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Basic usage

[](#basic-usage)

Require the composer autload file and create a new Board.

```
require_once __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php';

use \SE\Component\WiredPi;

$platform = new WiredPi\Platform\RaspberryPi();
$board = new WiredPi\Board($platform);
```

The next step is to apply a port map to the port so it knows what pins can be controlled.

```
$map = new WiredPi\PortMap(array(
    // number of the GPIO-pin,
    18
    // you can set default options too, STATE_ON turns the pin by default on
    23 => array(WiredPi\Port::STATE => WiredPi\Port::STATE_ON)
));
```

Now add the port map to your board instance and refresh it. The settings take effect immediately.

```
$board->setPorts($map);
$board->refresh(); // applies the current state to the microcontroller

// Modification of ports need to be applied again
$board->getPort(18)->on();
$board->refresh();
```

### Read pin

[](#read-pin)

For reading the status of your pin you can use the platform instance you passed to the board.

```
$port = $board->getPort(18);
$status = $platform->read($port); // returns 0 or 1
```

By default the pins are set to OUT.

For receiving the status of a pin from IN set the mode to IN.

```
$port = $board->getPort(18);
$port->setMode(WiredPi\Port::MODE_IN);

// Do something when Pin switches to 1
while(true) {

    if($platform->read($port) == '1') {
        print sprintf('Pin %s went to %s', $port, '1')
        break;
    }
    usleep(5000); // Let the system catch up
}
```

### Prototyping server

[](#prototyping-server)

WiredPi includes a protyping server to control pins without the need to setup them from within a php script. Run it by using the built in php server (Since PHP 5.4.0).

```
$ php -S localhost:8000 scripts/server.php
```
