NAME
RPi::ButtonWatcher - A button push event supplier
SYNOPSIS
use RPi::Wiring::Pi;
use RPi::ButtonWatcher;
die if wiringPiSetup() != 0;
# Takes WiringPi pin numbers.
my $watcher = RPi::ButtonWatcher.new(pins => ( 4, 5, 6 ), edge => BOTH, PUD => PULL_UP);
$watcher.getSupply.tap( -> %v {
my $e = %v<edge> == Edge.RISING ?? 'up' !! 'down';
say "Pin: %v<pin>, Edge: $e";
});
DESCRIPTION
This library provides a supplier of GPIO pin state changes.
Read/write access to /sys/class/gpio/export and /sys/class/gpio/gpioXX/ is required for this library to work. This usually means the user running the code has to be in the gpio group.
This module uses polling to detect state changes. A polling interval of 0.1 seconds is usually fast enough for normal button pushes.
The Sysfs interface is documented here: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/gpio/sysfs.txt
METHODS
new
Do initialize WiringPi before using this class using wiringPiSetup
!
Takes the following parameters:
pins
A list of WiringPi pin numbers to watch.
edge
The edges to listen for.
* `Edge.RISING`
Triggered when a button is released.
* `Edge.FALLING`
Triggered when a button is pressed.
* `Edge.BOTH`
Triggered on both, button presses and releases.
debounce
Time in seconds to sleep between polls. Faster means more responsive, but also more system resource eating. Defaults to 0.1 (100ms).
getSupply
Returns a supply that can be tapped. The supply will emit hashes with two entries:
pin
The WiringPi pin number that was triggered.
edge
Either Edge.RISING
or Edge.FALLING
.
