Using Raspberry Pi GPIO ports in C/C++ with WiringPi library


Connect to RPI with SSH and Xephyr

We will use Raspbian Jessie.

First, on Ubuntu:

$ Xephyr -ac -br -keybd ephyr,,,xkbmodel=pc105,xkblayout=es -noreset -screen 1280x720 :1

Then, on RPI:

$ DISPLAY=:1 ssh -Y pi@10.42.0.246 $ startlxde


Installing Wiring Pi libraries

Update and upgrade the system:

$ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get upgrade

Install Git:

$ sudo apt-get install git-core

Clone Wiring Pi from GitHub:

$ cd ~ $ git clone git://git.drogon.net/wiringPi

Go to the folder and pull:

$ cd wiringPi $ git pull origin

Then, compile Wiring Pi:

$ sudo ./build

That's all!!, you can verify that Wiring Pi is installed correctly and chech the version:

$ gpio -v gpio version: 2.44 Copyright (c) 2012-2017 Gordon Henderson This is free software with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. For details type: gpio -warranty Raspberry Pi Details: Type: Pi 3, Revision: 02, Memory: 1024MB, Maker: Embest * Device tree is enabled. *--> Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2 * This Raspberry Pi supports user-level GPIO access.


Example: Controlling led in C/C++ with Wiring Pi

Check the pins of the RPi 3:

Use the next connection for wiring:

Create the file blink.c or blink.cpp:

#include <wiringPi.h> int main (void) { wiringPiSetup(); pinMode(0, OUTPUT); int i = 0; for (i = 0;i<10;i++){ digitalWrite(0, HIGH); delay(500); digitalWrite(0, LOW); delay(500); } return 0 ; }

Compile blink.c using:

$ gcc -Wall -o blink blink.c -lwiringPi

Or compile blink.cpp using:

$ gcc -Wall -o blink blink.cpp -lwiringPi

Execute using:

$ sudo ./blink
