Information
Only the labels printed in blue/white or green/white (i.e. p3, gpio2 ...) must be used in your code. The other labels are given as information (alternate-functions, power pins, ...).
Building programs for the Raspberry Pi with mbedPi
I use Qt Creator for development, however you can use any other IDE available on the Raspberry Pi (e.g. Geany) if you like. For a quick try:
- Install Qt and the Qt Creator onto your Raspberry Pi. Then create a new "Blinky" Plain non-Qt C++ Project as follows:
- Change the main code as below:
main.cpp
#include "mbedPi.h" int main() { DigitalOut myled(p7); while(1) { myled = 1; // LED is ON wait(0.2); // 200 ms myled = 0; // LED is OFF wait(1.0); // 1 sec printf("Blink\r\n"); } }
- Copy the mbedPi.zip file into your project's folder and unzip.
- Add the mbedPi.h and mbedPi.cpp files to your project by right clicking on the "Blinky" project and then clicking on the "Add Existing Files..." option in the local menu:
- Double click on Blinky.pro to open it for editing and add new libraries by inserting a new line as follows:
- Compile the project.
- Connect an LED through a 1k resistor to pin 7 and the ground on the Raspberry Pi GPIO connector.
- Run the binary as sudo (sudo ./Blinky) and you should see the LED blinking.
- Press Ctrl+c to stop running the application.
