Input toggles output in Raspberry

[Sam]

Hi,

I would like an input (pushbutton) in Raspberry Pi to toggle an output each time input becomes high. How do you get that feature?
I would also like the output to show status (ON or OFF) in Indigo state at that time of operation. Is it possible?
Of course, you can create this via a trigger in Indigo, but I would like the feature to be in RBpi.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, after thanksgiving.

Great! Thanks.

the string for the GPIO should work as you show it..

I guess you want to have the indigo device/state status to show ON/Off the the output gpio? .. the is not implemented as you circumvent the indigo part..
But you could use the GPIO in for that?


just a question.. how do you set it to OFF? with the down button, or another button?

Sorry,
What i meant was... i want the same pushbutton (normally open) connected to the input, to change the status of the output by an pulse on the input. The first pulse - sets the output to 1, the next pulse sets the output to 0 etc, if possible?

this

Code: Select all

if (gpio -g read 18 | grep 1 ); then  gpio -g write 18 0; else gpio -g write 18 1 ; fi

should set gpio18 to 1 if current 0 and to 0 if currently 1 == toggle

Works perfect!

Thanks Karl!

Cool. Thanks for feedback.
Will add this to device edit menu as an example.

Hi,

I have installed the latest version 7.98.255 and have some problems with the OUTPUT-GPIO-1-ON/off.
The Indigo state of that output shows ”off” when my relay is activated and ”on” when its deactivated.
I tried to inverse the OUTPUT type but do not get it right anyway.
Is there any setting for reverse that function that I have missed?

Another question..
I have a couple of RPi's that I only use for GPIO's and displays. Is there any easy way to turn off the beacon function in these Pi:s and only use the sensors, input, output and displays?

A). the inverse option in device edit should do what you want ..
the device states show 3 states:
1.OUTPUT_00 = command send to raspberry * inversion factor
2. actual GpoiValue = is the physical output high/ low
3. Status = output_00

status and output are the same, just historical . In devices with many outputs 00-24 you could select which output is used for status.
I have stopped supporting multiple output sper indigo device.

so play with inverses/normal in device edit that SHOULD do it.

B) use non beacon RPI
1. delete RPI in initial setup
2. wait 1 minute, may be reload plugin, to clear everything
3. make new RPI with sensor only (# 10..19) in initial setup.

Thanks,

In my previous version (7.94.244), the control of the output worked well, but now I can not get Indigo state to show "on" when the physical relay is active, regardless of whether I set the output type as normal or inverse.

could you post parameters file from the RPi (is also on you indigo mac ~/indigo/pibeacon/parameters.x)

remove pwd ..

Is this the correct file?

yes looks good...

could you go into the rpi and do:

cd pibeacon
sudo python master.py
tail -F temp/messageSend

w capital F

it should show any messages and also error messages

you should see something like this:

Code: Select all

tail -F temp/messageSend 
OUTPUTgpio:  {"outputs":{"OUTPUTgpio-1-ONoff":{"1964742022":{"actualGpioValue":"low"}}},"program":"OUTPUTgpio","ipAddress":"192.168.1.198","pi":"0"}

and some other lines

and do ps -ef | grep .py
should show:

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi:~/pibeacon $ ps -ef | grep .py

the line
"outType": "1"
should flip when you do normal/inverse.

and did you post the file from the RPI or from the indigo MAC.ie are the files updated?
do a menu send xxxx "all programs .." to the RPIs
