Example of how to implement the GPIO Manager

GPIO Manager

requirements

The GPIO Manager package requires that you install the gpio command.

apt-get install gpio

GPIO Manager in laravel also uses the cache facade and requires a cache driver to be installed

Using GPIO Manager with laravel

Install the package

Add cool composer install with packagist here

Require the service provider into your application config file in config/app.php.

'providers' => [
    ...
    
    \ChickenTikkaMasala\GPIO\Bridge\Laravel\GPIOServiceProvider::class,
    
    ...
    
];

Add the event service provider

protected $subscribe = [
    \ChickenTikkaMasala\GPIO\Bridge\Laravel\Events\EventSubscriber::class,
 ];

Get the vendor config files by running

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="ChickenTikkaMasala\GPIO\Bridge\Laravel\GPIOServiceProvider"

Configure your environment within the config file provided in config/gipo.php.

Use the command below to see your environment

php artisan gpio:list

Integration and use

Now we've setup the environment there are many possible ways of implementing connections with the GPIOManager. The most common method of integration is to require the GPIOManager class into your Controller for http request.

See app/Http/Controllers/GPIOManagerExampleController.php

Other possible methods

• Create a job queue and log a response from a particular sensor every interval and log in a database the value.
• Set up commands and interact with the commands you've created.
• Use a web socket to controller your device and receive data responses back for building graphs and or response to actions. (using react with electron could be a great visual aid).
