- gpio.out([group, ]nr, state)
- gpio.pulse([group, ]nr, ms)
- gpio.blink([group, ]nr, pattern)
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
These commands modify the state of an output. In the simplest form, the parameter nr indicates the output number of an output on the controller itself.
| gpio.out() | Sets output to state, interpreted as a boolean. This call will stop any pulse or blinking running on the output. |
| gpio.pulse() | Pulse the output to on for ms milliseconds, the turn it off. Pulse timer will stop when gpio.out() or gpio.blink() is called on that output. |
| gpio.blink() | Blink the output with pattern. The pattern is an unsigned 32bit value which is rotated right every 125ms. On each rotate, bit 0 is placed onto the output. Blinking will stop when gpio.out() or gpio.pulse() is called on that output. (Note: uBus nodes only support an 8bit blink pattern.) |
NOTES
Please see Lua Reference Manual on how Lua interprets booleans: Only the explicit values nil and false
flag as false, anything else, including the number 0, flag as true. Sorry for the inconvenience.
EXAMPLE
Blinking with decreasing speeds:
>
gpio.blink(1, 0xAAAAAAAA)
>
gpio.blink(1, 0x33333333)
>
gpio.blink(1, 0x00FF00FF)
Flash of 0.5s every 3.5s.
>
gpio.blink(1, 0x0000000F)
