==Getting Started==

This page will give a very brief explanation of how to use the GPIO interface for a given reader. For this example we will use an LLRP reader.

==Steps==

1. Reference the abstract GPIO service in spring and filter it by the reader type that you would like to control. In this case, we would like the LLRP GPIO service, so our block of spring code will look like this:

<pre><osgi:reference id="llrpGPIOService"
interface="org.rifidi.edge.sensors.AbstractGPIOService"
filter="(reader=LLRP)" /></pre>

2. Inject it into your application class, like so:

<pre> <bean id="SampleApp" class="com.sample.app.SampleApp">
<constructor-arg index="0" value="Sample" />
<constructor-arg index="1" value="SampleApp" />
<property name="readZoneMonitoringService" ref="readZoneMonitoringService" />
<property name="gpoController" ref="llrpGPIOService" />
</bean></pre>

	this.gpoController = gpoController;		this.gpoController = gpoController;
	}</pre>		}</pre>
		+
		+	4. Now you can use the GPIO service on any reader of the chosen type connected to Rifidi. Here is a short section of code demonstrating how to use it:
		+
		+	<pre>
		+	try {
		+	//Flash GPO ports 1, 2, and 4 high on reader LLRP_1 for 7 seconds
		+	this.gpoController.flashGPO("LLRP_1", 7, 1, 2, 4);
		+	//Test GPI port 1 on reader LLRP_1. It will return true if the port is high and false if the port is low.
		+	System.out.println(this.gpoController.testGPI("LLRP_1", 1));
		+	//Test GPI port 4 on reader LLRP_1. It will return true if the port is high and false if the port is low.
		+	System.out.println(this.gpoController.testGPI("LLRP_1", 4));
		+	//Sets GPO ports 3 and 4 of reader LLRP_1 to high and all other GPO ports on the reader to low.
		+	this.gpoController.setGPO("LLRP_1", 3, 4);
		+	} catch (CannotExecuteException e) {
		+	e.printStackTrace();
		+	}
		+	</pre>
