It also makes it fast enough to give you PWM and servo control on all GPIOs simultaneously. The servo waveforms are accurate to a few microseconds. This code is based off of the [python library](http://abyz.co.uk/rpi/pigpio/python.html) included with the pigpio download. Installation ------------ For now you'll just have to clone this repo Usage ----- Start the pigpio daemon: $ sudo pigpiod In your program: 1. require(...) the pi-fast-gpio library 2. Create a new instance of the PiFastGpio class 3. Call connect(...) to connect to the pigpiod daemon 4. When connected, do what you please with the GPIOs on your Raspberry Pi 5. Call close() when you're done and about to exit your program. Examples -------- There are two examples included, one that drives two servos, and one that uses PWM to change the brightness of two LEDs Before running any of the examples, make sure the pigpio daemon is running: $ sudo pigpiod ### Servos example Watch the servos example in action here: http://youtu.be/AnlUtAq5oAM Before running the example, please connect two servos to your Raspberry Pi. One on GPIO18 and one on GPIO23. Go to the examples/ directory and run the code: $ node js_servo.js Watch the servos turn! ### LED PWM example Watch the LED PWM example in action here: http://youtu.be/OW6yF4NuwLE Before running the example, please connect to LEDs to your Raspberry Pi with suitable resistors. Connect one LED to GPIO24 and one to GPIO25. Go to the examples/ directory and run the code: $ node js_pwm.js Watch the LEDs light up with different brightness!
