I'm using the johnn-five
and raspi-io
packages for node
and I'm trying to read the events created on a PIR motion sensor, but everytime I run the application, an error is thrown.
console
pi@raspberrypi ~/poc $ sudo node app.js

}
app.js
var raspi = require('raspi-io');
var five = require('johnny-five');
var board = new five.Board({
io: new raspi()
});
board.on('ready', function() {
var motion = new five.Motion({pin: 'PI-17'});
motion.on('calibrated', function() {
console.log('calibrated');
});
motion.on('motionstart', function() {
console.log('motionstart');
});
motion.on('motionend', function() {
console.log('motionend');
});
});
However, the following code DOES seem to work:
snipped from another poc
var raspi = require('raspi');
var gpio = require('raspi-gpio');
raspi.init(function() {
var input = new gpio.DigitalInput({
pin: 'P1-17'
});
var logInput = function() {
console.log('Input 17: ' + input.read());
setTimeout(logInput, 1000);
};
logInput();
});
The Raspberry is a Rev. 2 model B.
The Motion detector I'm using is this one.
The cables are connected as follows (physical pin, taken from this schema)
Motion Sensor -> Pi
1 GND -> 6 GND
2 VDD -> 1 +3/V3 OUT
3 OUT -> 11 GPIO17
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
After more searching I came across this image.
It provided me with more insight on the WiringPi Pin numbers, BCM GPIO naming and P1 naming.
The pin GPIO0 on Pin 0 (BCM 17) seems to be throwing the error.
I switched to using pin GPIO4 on Pin 4 (BCM 23).
It doesn't really make sense why the 0 doesn't work, but for now, the poc I'm working on can progress again.
