MultiPlug.Ext.RasPi.GPIO

Raspberry Pi GPIO Extension for the MultiPlug .Net Fog Computing Platform

Getting Started

These instructions will guide you the installation of the Extension on an instance of the MultiPlug .Net Fog Computing Platform.

Prerequisites

Both Mono and the MultiPlug .Net Fog Computing Platform must be installed on Raspberry Pi's Raspbian operating system.

Add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb [trusted=yes] http://apt.multiplug.uk ./

Run the following command:

sudo apt update

To install Mono run the following command:

sudo apt-get install mono-complete

To install MultiPlug run the following command:

sudo apt-get install multiplug

Installing

The Extension can be installed using the in-built MultiPlug installer located at http://multiplug.local/settings/add/ Replace multiplug.local for the IP Address of the MultiPlug instance

Runtime

Screenshot

Application

The Extension can be accessed from: http://multiplug.local/extensions/raspi-config/ Replace multiplug.local for the IP Address of the MultiPlug instance

Functionality

• Read or Write to the GPIO pins, which will trigger MultiPlug Events on Read, and write on a subscription change.
• Set Pin pull up or pull down settings.

Known Bugs

• Due to a bug with the MultiPlug platform an system restart is needed before the Extension can be accessed. Restart the system via the option found in http://multiplug.local/settings
• The use of the native GPIO libary results in a slow timed-out shutdown.
