GPIO Read

Read logical value of GPIO pin configured as input

Add-On Required: This feature requires the Embedded Coder Support Package for BeagleBone Black Hardware add-on.

Description

Use this block to:

  • Create a physical input from a GPIO pin.

  • Read the logical value of the GPIO pin at intervals that are determined by Sample time.

  • Send the logical value to other blocks in the model as a stream of Boolean values.

  • The maximum input voltage of the GPIO pin is 1.8 V.

Caution

You can damage your target hardware by:

  • Shorting a GPIO pin to ground.

  • Shorting a GPIO pin with high voltage to another GPIO pin with low voltage.

  • Connecting a GPIO pin to a voltage source greater than the maximum voltage.

  • Exceeding the maximum current by driving multiple GPIO pins high simultaneously.

  • GPIO Read block

Parameters

Pin

Select the number of the GPIO pin. Do not use the same GPIO number in multiple blocks within a model.

Sample time

Select the sample time for reading the state of the GPIO pin. This parameter value defaults to 1/10 second.

Smaller values require the processor to complete the same number of instructions in less time, which can cause task overruns.

Version History

Introduced in R2014b
