NAME

Device::WebIO - Duct Tape for the Internet of Things

SYNOPSIS

my $webio = Device::WebIO->new;
$webio->register( 'foo', $dev ); # Register a device with the name 'foo'

# Input pin 0 on device registered with the name 'foo'
my $in_value = $webio->digital_input( 'foo', 0 );
# Output pin 0 on device registered with the name 'foo'
$webio->digital_input( 'foo', 0, $in_value );

DESCRIPTION

Device::WebIO provides a standardized interface for accessing GPIO, Analog-to-Digital, Pulse Width Modulation, and many other devices. Drivers are available for the Raspberry Pi, PCDuino, Arduino (via Firmata attached over USB), and many others in the future.

The 35,000-foot-view is that the Device::WebIO object is registered with one or more objects that do the Device::WebIO::Device role. These objects provide certain services, in accordance with the individual roles under the Device::WebIO::Device::* namespace, such as DigitalInput, DigitalOutput, ADC, etc.

METHODS

new

Constructor.

register

register( $name, $obj );

Register a driver object with the given name. The object must do the c<Device::WebIO::Device> role.

all_desc

all_desc( $name );

Returns hashref specifying the capabilities of the device.

Entries in the hashref are:

  • UART [bool]

  • SPI [bool]

  • I2C [bool]

  • ONEWIRE [bool]

  • GPIO [hashref]

GPIO's entries are numbers mapping to each GPIO pin. The values are hashrefs containing:

  • function ["IN", "OUT", "ALTn" (where n is some number)]

  • value [bool]

pin_desc

pin_desc( $name );

Returns an arrayref containing a definition for each pin in order.

Each entry can be:

  • Some number (corresponding to a GPIO number)

  • "V33" (3.3 volt power)

  • "V50" (5.0 volt power)

  • "GND" (ground)

Input

set_as_input

set_as_input( $name, $pin );

Set the given pin as input.

is_set_input

is_set_input( $name, $pin );

Check if the given pin is already set as input.

digital_input_pin_count

digital_input_pin_count( $name );

Returns how many input pins there are for this device.

digital_input

digital_input( $name, $pin );

Returns the input status of the given pin. 1 for on, 0 for off.

digital_input_port

digital_input_port( $name );

Returns an integer with each bit representing the on or off status of the associated pin.

Output

set_as_output

set_as_output( $name, $pin );

Set the given pin as output.

is_set_output

is_set_output( $name, $pin );

Check if the given pin is set as output.

digital_output_pin_count

digital_output_pin_count( $name );

Returns the number of output pins.

digital_output

digital_output( $name, $pin, $value );

Sets the value of the output for the given pin. 1 for on, 0 for off.

digital_output_port

digital_output_port( $name, $int );

Sets the value of all output pins. Each bit of $int corresponds to a pin.

Analog-to-Digital

adc_count

adc_count( $name );

Returns the number of ADC pins.

adc_resolution

adc_resolution( $name, $pin );

Returns the number of bits of resolution for the given pin.

adc_max_int

adc_max_int( $name, $pin );

Returns the max integer value for the given pin.

adc_volt_ref

adc_volt_ref( $name, $pin );

Returns the voltage reference for the given pin. All ADC values are scaled between 0 (ground) and the volt ref.

adc_input_int

adc_input_int( $name, $pin );

Return the ADC integer input value.

adc_input_float

adc_input_float( $name, $pin );

Return the ADC floating point input value. The value will be between 0.0 and 1.0.

adc_input_volts

adc_input_volts( $name, $pin );

Return the voltage level of the given pin. This will be between 0.0 (ground) and the volt ref.

PWM

pwm_count

pwm_count( $name );

Return the number of PWM pins.

pwm_resolution

pwm_resolution( $name, $pin );

Return the number of bits of resolution for the given PWM pin.

pwm_max_int

pwm_max_int( $name, $pin );

Return the max int value for the given PWM ping.

pwm_output_int

pwm_output_int( $name, $pin, $value );

Set the value of the given PWM pin.

pwm_output_float

pwm_output_float( $name, $pin, $value );

Set the value of the given PWM pin with a floating point value between 0.0 and 1.0.

Video

vid_channels

vid_channels( $name );
