Description: Visit `pythonhosted.org/RPIO <http://pythonhosted.org/RPIO>`_ for a pretty version of this documentation.
        
        RPIO is a GPIO toolbox for the Raspberry Pi.
        
        * RPIO.py, an extension of `RPi.GPIO <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/RPi.GPIO>`_ with interrupt handling and more
        * rpio, a command-line multitool for inspecting and manipulating GPIOs system-wide
        
        
        
        Installation
        ============
        
        The easiest way to install/update RPIO on a Raspberry Pi is with either ``easy_install`` or ``pip``::
        
            $ sudo apt-get install python-pip
            $ sudo pip install -U RPIO
        
        Another way to get RPIO is directly from the Github repository (make sure you have ``python-dev`` installed)::
        
            $ git clone https://github.com/metachris/RPIO.git
            $ cd RPIO
            $ sudo python setup.py install
        
        After the installation you can use import ``RPIO`` as well as the command-line tool ``rpio``.
        
        
        
        
        `rpio`, the command line tool
        =============================
        
        ``rpio`` allows you to inspect and manipulate GPIO's system wide, including those used by other processes.
        ``rpio`` needs to run with superuser privileges (root), else it will restart using ``sudo``. The BCM GPIO numbering
        scheme is used by default.
        
        ::
        
            Show the help page:
        
                $ rpio -h
        
            Inspect the function and state of gpios (with -i/--inspect):
        
                $ rpio -i 7
                $ rpio -i 7,8,9
                $ rpio -i 1-9
        
                # Example output for `rpio -i 1-9` (non-existing are ommitted):
                GPIO 2: ALT0   (1)
                GPIO 3: ALT0   (1)
                GPIO 4: INPUT  (0)
                GPIO 7: OUTPUT (0)
                GPIO 8: INPUT  (1)
                GPIO 9: INPUT  (0)
        
            Inspect all GPIO's on this board (with -I/--inspect-all):
        
                $ rpio -I
        
            Set GPIO 7 output to `1` (or `0`) (with -s/--set):
        
                $ rpio -s 7:1
        
                You can only write to pins that have been set up as OUTPUT. You can
                set this yourself with `--setoutput <gpio-id>`.
        
            Wait for interrupt events on GPIOs (with -w/--wait_for_interrupts). You
            can specify an edge (eg. `:rising`; default='both') as well as `:pullup`,
            `:pulldown` or `pulloff`.
        
                $ rpio -w 7
                $ rpio -w 7:rising
                $ rpio -w 7:falling:pullup
        
                $ rpio -w 7:rising:pullup,17,18
                $ rpio -w 1-9
        
            Setup a pin as INPUT (optionally with software resistor):
        
                $ rpio --setinput 7
                $ rpio --setinput 7:pullup
                $ rpio --setinput 7:pulldown
        
            Setup a pin as OUTPUT (optionally with an initial value (0 or 1)):
        
                $ rpio --setoutput 8
                $ rpio --setoutput 8:1
        
            Show Raspberry Pi system info:
        
                $ rpio --sysinfo
        
                # Example output:
                Model B, Revision 2.0, RAM: 256 MB, Maker: Sony
        
        
        You can update the ``RPIO`` package to the latest version::
        
            $ rpio --update-rpio
        
        
        Install (and update) the ``rpio`` manpage::
        
            $ rpio --update-man
            $ man rpio
        
        
        
        
        `RPIO.py`, the Python module
        ============================
        
        RPIO.py extends `RPi.GPIO <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/RPi.GPIO>`_ with 
        interrupt handling and more.
        
        Interrupts are used to receive notifications from the kernel when GPIO state
        changes occur. Advantages include minimized cpu consumption, very fast
        notification times, and the ability to trigger on specific edge transitions
        (``rising|falling|both``). RPIO uses the BCM GPIO numbering scheme by default. This
        is an example of how to use RPIO to react on events on 3 pins by using
        interrupts, each with different edge detections:
        
        ::
        
            # Setup logging
            import logging
            log_format = '%(levelname)s | %(asctime)-15s | %(message)s'
            logging.basicConfig(format=log_format, level=logging.DEBUG)
        
            # Get started
            import RPIO
        
            def do_something(gpio_id, value):
                logging.info("New value for GPIO %s: %s" % (gpio_id, value))
        
            RPIO.add_interrupt_callback(7, do_something)
            RPIO.add_interrupt_callback(8, do_something, edge='rising')
            RPIO.add_interrupt_callback(9, do_something, pull_up_down=RPIO.PUD_UP)
            RPIO.wait_for_interrupts()
        
        Default edge is ``both`` and default pull_up_down is ``RPIO.PUD_OFF``. If 
        you want to receive a callback inside a Thread (which won't block anything
        else on the system), set ``threaded_callback=True`` when adding an interrupt-
        callback. Here is an example:
        
        ::
        
            RPIO.add_interrupt_callback(7, do_something, threaded_callback=True)
        
        Make sure to double-check the value returned from the interrupt, since it
        is not necessarily corresponding to the edge (eg. 0 may come in as value,
        even if `edge="rising"`). To remove all callbacks from a certain gpio pin, use
        ``RPIO.del_interrupt_callback(gpio_id)``. To stop the ``wait_for_interrupts()``
        loop you can call ``RPIO.stop_waiting_for_interrupts()``.
        
        
        
        
        GPIO Input & Output
        -------------------
        
        RPIO extends `RPi.GPIO <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/RPi.GPIO>`_;
        all the input and output handling works just the same:
        
        ::
        
            import RPIO
        
            # set up input channel without pull-up
            RPIO.setup(7, RPIO.IN)
        
            # set up input channel with pull-up control. Can be 
            # PUD_UP, PUD_DOWN or PUD_OFF (default)
            RPIO.setup(7, RPIO.IN, pull_up_down=RPIO.PUD_UP)
        
            # read input from gpio 7
            input_value = RPIO.input(7)
        
            # set up GPIO output channel
            RPIO.setup(8, RPIO.OUT)
        
            # set gpio 8 to high
            RPIO.output(8, True)
        
            # set up output channel with an initial state
            RPIO.setup(8, RPIO.OUT, initial=RPIO.LOW)
        
            # change to BOARD numbering schema
            RPIO.setmode(RPIO.BOARD)
        
            # set software pullup on channel 17
            RPIO.set_pullupdn(17, RPIO.PUD_UP)
        
            # reset every channel that has been set up by this program,
            # and unexport interrupt gpio interfaces
            RPIO.cleanup()
        
        You can use RPIO as a drop-in replacement for RPi.GPIO in your existing code like this:
        
        ::
        
            import RPIO as GPIO  # (if you've previously used `import RPi.GPIO as GPIO`)
        
        To find out more about the methods and constants in RPIO you can run ``$ sudo pydoc RPIO``, or
        use the help method inside Python::
        
            import RPIO
            help(RPIO)

        Feedback
        ========
        
        Please send feedback and ideas to chris@linuxuser.at, and `open an issue at Github <https://github.com/metachris/RPIO/issues/new>`_ if
        you've encountered a bug.
        
        
        FAQ
        ===
        
        **How does RPIO work?**
        
          RPIO extends RPi.GPIO, a GPIO controller written in C which uses a low-level memory interface. Interrupts are
          implemented  with ``epoll`` via ``/sys/class/gpio/``. For more detailled information take a look at the `source <https://github.com/metachris/RPIO/tree/master/source>`_, it's well documented and easy to build.
        
        
        **Should I update RPIO often?**
        
          Yes, because RPIO is getting better by the day. You can use ``$ rpio --update-rpio`` or see Installation for more information about methods to update.
        
        
        **I've encountered a bug, what next?**
        
          * Make sure you are using the latest version of RPIO (see Installation)
          * Open an issue at Github
        
            * Go to https://github.com/metachris/RPIO/issues/new
            * Describe the problem and steps to replicate
            * Add the output of ``$ rpio --version`` and ``$ rpio --sysinfo``
        
        
        **pip is throwing an error during the build:** ``source/c_gpio/py_gpio.c:9:20: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory``
        
          You need to install the ``python-dev`` package (eg. ``$ sudo apt-get install python-dev``), or use ``easy_install`` (see Installation).
