physical-ui

Physical interface for Radiodan, using the GPIO pins of the Raspberry Pi. This probably won't compile on any other platform.

Currently a counterpart of the Magic Button web app.

Installing

npm install

Running

bin/server path/to/config.json

On non-Pi systems, specify a mock wiring-pi library should be used. Calls to this mock won't fail, but they won't do anything either.

WIRING_PI=mock bin/server path/to/config.json

Development

JSON config file is used to specify pins and initial state for buttons, LEDs and rotary encoders. lib/bootstrap.js is where all of this is setup.

REPL (Experimental)

A read-eval-print-loop (REPL) is available to control the server from a utility program bin/repl. They communicate via a socket which is specified on startup:

REPL=/tmp/repl.sock bin/server path/to/config.json

Connect to the server process by specifing the same socket path:

bin/repl /tmp/repl.sock

You should now have a repl for manipulating the physical UI objects.
