This is a wrapper for Pi4J library.
It allows you are control the Raspberry Pi board GPIO pins.
Using this library is quite simple. You can use it from a UI app or non-UI app.
First you should initialize a GpioController object.
The second step is to initialize one or more pins.
You can provision each pin to be an input pin or output pin. Input pins allow you to listen for state changes. Output pins allow you to set their state.
The following program initializes two pins. Pin1 is an input pin and pin2 is an output pin. Pin2 state is changed every 5 seconds with a timer:
The pins scheme is available here: http://pi4j.com/usage.html
The output of this program:
B4J-Bridge is very useful when working with this board: http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/remote-debugging-with-b4j-bridge.38804/
You can download it to the board with this command:
Then run it as root:
