Code Examples

This example show how easy it is to read a tilt sensor with WiringPy C Library

#include<stdio.h>
#include<wiringPi.h>
#define D3 26

int main()
{
	if (wiringPiSetup() < 0)return 1 ;

	pinMode(D3,INPUT);
	digitalWrite(D3,0);

	while(1)
	{
  		if(digitalRead(D3) == LOW)
		{
			printf("Tilt\n");
		}
		else
		{
			printf("OK\n");
		}
		delay(500);
  	}
}

Code example switching on an LED

/* blink.c
 * you can build this like: 
 * gcc -Wall blink.c -o blink -lwiringPi
 * sudo ./flash
*/

#include<wiringPi.h>
char LED = 25;

int main(void)
{
	if(wiringPiSetup() < 0)return 1;
	pinMode (LED,OUTPUT) ;

	while(1)
	{
  		digitalWrite(LED, 1) ;
    	delay (200);
  		digitalWrite(LED, 0) ;
    	delay (200);
	}
}
