Installation

On project's directory, run:

$ npm install

Usage

Running the server

On project's directory, run:

$ npm start

It will be running at http://localhost:3001/

Reading all GPIO ports

Go to http://localhost:3001/readall

Reading a specific pin state

On the URL, write a GPIO pin number (pin's name number, not physical number).

• Ex: http://localhost:3001/read/5 = pin 5 value

Writing a value to a pin

On the URL, write a GPIO pin's number (pin's name number, not physical number), its direction (1 for INPUT or 0 for OUTPUT) and its value (1 for HIGH or 0 for LOW).

• Ex: http://localhost:3001/write/5/0/1 = pin 5 as OUTPUT on HIGH

Observations

• The port 3001 was chosen so it would not conflict with other Node.js apps such as Amazon's Alexa on Raspberry pi.
• This project uses Node.js' child_process to execute shell commands, so be sure to check if your user has GPIO permission.
