For each supported GPIO platform, @hpio@ provides two contexts for writing GPIO programs: a cross-platform domain-specific language (DSL), and a platform-specific DSL. Programs written in the cross-platform DSL will run on any supported platform, but as the cross-platform DSL must take a "least-common denominator" approach, cross-platform programs may not be capable of taking advantage of all of the features of a particular GPIO platform. On the other hand, programs written for a platform-specific DSL can use all of those platform-specific features, but will not work on other GPIO platforms. Primarily, this tutorial focuses on the cross-platform DSL. == Requirements Though Haskell is a much more capable programming language than, say, <http://wiring.org.co Wiring>, this power comes with a few trade-offs. Whereas a program written in Wiring (or even C) can run directly on a low-cost microcontroller, a program written in Haskell cannot. Therefore, @hpio@ is intended for use with more powerful GPIO-capable platforms, such as the <https://www.raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi platform>, or the <http://beagleboard.org Beagle platform>, which marry a 32- or 64-bit CPU core with GPIO functionality. -} {- $pin == GPIO /General-purpose input\/output/. A GPIO /pin/ is a user-programmable, serial (i.e., a single-bit wide) interface from the system to an external device or circuit. GPIO pins can usually be configured either for input (for reading external signals) or for output (for driving signals to external devices), though sometimes a pin may be hard-wired to one direction or the other. Some platforms may reserve one or more GPIO pins for their own use, e.g., to drive an external storage interface. Typically these pins are not visible to the user and therefore cannot be programmed by @hpio@, but you should always consult your hardware documentation to make sure you don't accidentally use a system-reserved pin. GPIO pins are often physically expressed on a circuit board as a male or female <https://www.google.com/#q=gpio+pin+header breakout header>, which is a bank of pins (male) or sockets (female) for connecting individual wires or low-density molded connectors. However, on platforms with a large number of GPIO pins, it is typically the case that just a handful of pins are accessible via such a header, while the rest are only accessible via a high-density connector, intended for use by high-volume system integrators with custom hardware designs. == Pin number GPIO pins are typically identified by their /pin number/. Unfortunately, it is often the case that the pin number used in the system's hardware documentation is different than the pin number used by the software to identify the same pin. In @hpio@, a pin's number refers to the number used by the system software to identify the pin. Consult your hardware documentation (or Google) for the hardware-to-software pin mapping. @hpio@ uses the 'Pin' type to identify GPIO pins. -} {- $pin_value == Pin (signal) value In digital design, a pin's /value/ (sometimes called its /signal level/) is either /high/ or /low/. When we say that a pin's value or signal level is /high/, we mean the general notion of the pin being "on" or /active/; and when we say the pin's value or signal level is /low/, we mean the pin is "off" or /inactive/. Complicating matters is the concept of /active-low/ logic. Digital electronic components are built using either positive (/active-high/) logic, or negative (/active-low/) logic. In active-high logic, a pin is active when the voltage on the pin is high (relative to ground); whereas in active-low logic, a pin is active when the voltage on the pin is low (or grounded). When designing logic, or programs to interface with logic, it's often easier to think of a signal as being active or inactive, rather than worrying about its physical voltage. Therefore, the @hpio@ cross-platform DSL supports, on a pin-by-pin basis, both types of logic: active-high and active-low. When writing your programs, you can simply use the values 'High' and 'Low', and then set a per-pin active level before running your program, depending on whether you're interfacing with active-high or active-low logic. In the @hpio@ documentation, and in this tutorial, whenever you see a reference to a "pin value" or "signal level," unless otherwise noted, we mean the abstract notion of the pin being "on" or "off," independent of the voltage level seen on the physical pin. We refer to this notion as the pin's /logical value/, as opposed to its /physical value/. In @hpio@, the 'PinValue' type represents a pin's value, and 'PinActiveLevel' represents its active-level setting: -} {- $pin_direction == Pin direction and pin input / output modes We say a pin's /direction/ is either /in/ (for input) or /out/ (for output). However, not all inputs and outputs are necessarily the same. On some GPIO platforms, it's possible to configure an input or output pin in various /modes/ which change the behavior of the pin under certain conditions. For example, consider an input pin. If the pin is not connected to a source, what is its value? If the input pin is in /floating/ mode (sometimes called /tri-state/ or /high-impedance/ mode), then its value when disconnected may "float," or vary, from moment to moment. Perhaps your application can tolerate this indeterminacy, in which case floating mode is fine, and probably uses less power than other input modes, to boot. But if your application requires that a disconnected pin maintain a predictable, constant state, and your GPIO platform supports it, you can set the input pin's mode to /pull-up/ or /pull-down/ to give the disconnected pin an always-high or always-low value, respectively. Output pin modes are even more complicated due to the fact that multiple output pins are often connected together to drive a single input; this is known as /wired-OR/ or /wired-AND/ design, depending on whether the devices involved use positive or negative logic. A full discussion of the various input and output modes, and when you should use them, is outside the scope of this tutorial. We simply point out here that the @hpio@ cross-platform DSL provides the ability to set many of these modes on your input and output pins, provided that your hardware supports them. For simple needs, the DSL provides default input and output mode values, which set whatever mode the target platform uses by default. These are the values we'll use in this tutorial. In @hpio@, the 'PinDirection' type represents a pin's direction (a simple "in" or "out"), while the 'PinInputMode' and 'PinOutputMode' types represent modes for input and output pins, respectively. -} {- $pin_interrupt_mode == Interrupts In logic programming, it's often useful to block the program's execution on an input pin until its value changes. Furthermore, you may want to wait until the signal transitions from low to high (its /rising edge/), or from high to low (its /falling edge/). The @hpio@ cross-platform DSL supports this functionality. You can block the current Haskell thread on a GPIO input pin until a rising edge, falling edge, or either edge (a /level trigger/), is visible on the pin -- effectively, a programmable interrupt. Which type event of triggers the interrupt is determined by the pin's /interrupt mode/. If you want to mask interrupts for some period of time without needing to stop and re-start the blocking thread, you can also disable interrupts on a given pin. Some pins may not support this functionality, but the cross-platform DSL provides a mechanism to query a pin to see whether it's supported. The 'PinInterruptMode' type represents the type of event which triggers an interrupt. -} {- $pin_capabilities == Pin capabilities To help you determine which modes a particular pin supports, @hpio@ provides the 'PinCapabilities' type. -} {- $interpreters The @hpio@ cross-platform DSL is defined by the 'MonadGpio' type class. Each method of the 'MonadGpio' type class describes an action that can be performed on a GPIO pin (or on the GPIO system as a whole). For each supported platform, @hpio@ provides an instance of the 'MonadGpio' type class. The platform-specific instance maps actions in the cross-platform DSL to actions on that particular GPIO platform. You can therefore think of each 'MonadGpio' instance as a platform-specific interpreter for the cross-platform DSL. Each interpreter provides a "run" action which, given a 'MonadGpio' program, will execute the program on its GPIO platform. -} {- $mock_interpreter Testing GPIO programs is inconvenient. The target system is often under-powered compared to our development environment, and may use a completely different processor architecture and / or operating system (and cross-compiling Haskell programs is, circa 2016, still somewhat problematic). It's also not uncommon for our development environments not to have any GPIO capabilities at all. For your convenience, @hpio@ provides a reasonably complete, entirely software-based "mock" GPIO implementation that can run on any system where Haskell programs can run, irrespective of that system's GPIO capabilities or operating system. This particular implementation mocks the Linux @sysfs@ GPIO filesystem and is capable of emulating much of that platform's functionality. In this tutorial, we will make use of this mock GPIO implementation in many of the code examples, meaning that those examples can be run on any Haskell-capable system. In a few cases, we'll discuss functionality that the mock implementation does not handle. These cases will be called out. To use the mock interpreter, you must supply its mock GPIO state, and this is a bit complicated, not to mention irrelevant to understanding how to use the @hpio@ cross-platform DSL. (Using an interpreter for a real GPIO platform is much simpler.) To avoid getting bogged down in the details, we'll supply a wrapper, named 'runTutorial', which sets up a mock GPIO environment with 17 pins and runs a @hpio@ program in that environment. The first 16 pins, numbered 0-15, are fully-general pins. Pin 17 is a special-case pin that we'll use to demonstrate failure modes and other quirks. (Don't worry about the details of the 'SysfsGpioMockIO' type for the moment. We'll explain it later. For now, suffice it to say that it's the type of our @hpio@ programs when run in this particular mock interpreter.) __Note__: in our examples, each time we use 'runTutorial' we are creating a new mock environment from scratch, so any changes made to the mock environment are not persistent from one example to the next. -} chip0 :: MockGpioChip chip0 = MockGpioChip "chip0" 0 (replicate 16 defaultMockPinState) chip1 :: MockGpioChip chip1 = MockGpioChip "chip1" 16 [defaultMockPinState {_direction = In, _userVisibleDirection = False, _value = High, _edge = Nothing}] -- | Run a @hpio@ program on a mock system with 17 GPIO pins. runTutorial :: SysfsGpioMockIO a -> IO a runTutorial program = evalSysfsGpioMockIO program initialMockWorld [chip0, chip1] {- $basic_pin_operations == Which pins are available? To get the list of all pins available on the system, use the 'pins' command: >>> runTutorial pins [Pin 0,Pin 1,Pin 2,Pin 3,Pin 4,Pin 5,Pin 6,Pin 7,Pin 8,Pin 9,Pin 10,Pin 11,Pin 12,Pin 13,Pin 14,Pin 15,Pin 16] == Querying a pin's capabilities To see which modes a pin supports, use the 'pinCapabilities' command: >>> runTutorial $ pinCapabilities (Pin 1) PinCapabilities {_inputModes = fromList [InputDefault], _outputModes = fromList [OutputDefault], _interrupts = True} >>> runTutorial $ pinCapabilities (Pin 16) PinCapabilities {_inputModes = fromList [], _outputModes = fromList [], _interrupts = False} Here we can see that 'Pin' @1@ can support both input and output -- though not any specific input or output modes, only the defaults -- and also interrupts. 'Pin' @16@, on the other hand, is effectively useless, as it's capable of neither input nor output. ('Pin' @16@ is pathalogical, and you wouldn't expect to see a pin like this on an actual system.) == Pin resource management Before you can operate on a GPIO pin, you must signal your intention to the system by /opening/ that pin. Opening the pin returns a /handle/, which you then use to operate on the pin. Then, when you're finished with the pin, you should allow the system to clean up any pin-related resources by /closing/ the pin. Opening and closing a pin are performed by the 'openPin' and 'closePin' DSL actions, respectively: >>> :{ runTutorial $ do h <- openPin (Pin 5) liftIO $ putStrLn "Opened pin 5" closePin h liftIO $ putStrLn "Closed pin 5" :} Opened pin 5 Closed pin 5 (Note that, because our interpreter is an instance of 'MonadIO', we can interleave 'IO' actions into our GPIO computations.) As with file handles, when an exception occurs in a computation, we should clean up any open pin handles. We could wrap each 'openPin' / 'closePin' pair with 'Control.Monad.Catch.bracket', or we could just use the provided 'withPin' wrapper, which does this for us: >>> :{ runTutorial $ withPin (Pin 5) $ \h -> do liftIO $ putStrLn "Opened pin 5" fail "Oops" :} Opened pin 5 *** Exception: user error (Oops) Using 'withPin' is good hygiene, so we'll use it throughout this tutorial. You can, of course, nest uses of 'withPin': >>> :{ runTutorial $ do withPin (Pin 5) $ \h1 -> do liftIO $ putStrLn "Opened pin 5" withPin (Pin 6) $ \h2 -> liftIO $ putStrLn "Opened pin 6" liftIO $ putStrLn "Closed pin 6" liftIO $ putStrLn "Closed pin 5" :} Opened pin 5 Opened pin 6 Closed pin 6 Closed pin 5 == Pin configuration Every pin has an active level, which we can query using 'getPinActiveLevel': >>> runTutorial $ withPin (Pin 8) getPinActiveLevel ActiveHigh You can change it using 'setPinActiveLevel': >>> :{ runTutorial $ withPin (Pin 5) $ \h -> do setPinActiveLevel h ActiveLow getPinActiveLevel h :} ActiveLow or toggle it using 'togglePinActiveLevel': >>> runTutorial $ withPin (Pin 8) togglePinActiveLevel ActiveLow You can get a pin's current direction using 'getPinDirection': >>> runTutorial $ withPin (Pin 10) getPinDirection Out >>> runTutorial $ withPin (Pin 16) getPinDirection -- Pin 16's direction is not settable *** Exception: NoDirectionAttribute (Pin 16) If 'getPinDirection' fails, as it does for 'Pin' @16@ in our example, then the pin's direction is not queryable in a cross-platform way, in which case you'll need another (platform-specific) method for determining its hard-wired direction. To configure a pin for input or output, we must specify not only its direction, but also its input / output mode, as discussed earlier. Therefore, there is no @setPinDirection@ action. Instead, you set the pin's direction and mode simultaneously using the 'setPinInputMode' or 'setPinOutputMode' actions: >>> :{ runTutorial $ withPin (Pin 5) $ \h -> do setPinInputMode h InputDefault getPinDirection h :} In >>> :{ runTutorial $ withPin (Pin 5) $ \h -> do setPinOutputMode h OutputDefault Low getPinDirection h :} Out Note that when we configure a pin for output, we must also supply an initial output value for the pin. (This value is relative to the pin's active level, i.e., it is a logical value.) If we want to know more about the pin's input or output configuration than just its direction, we can query its input or output mode: >>> :{ runTutorial $ withPin (Pin 5) $ \h -> do setPinInputMode h InputDefault getPinInputMode h :} InputDefault >>> :{ runTutorial $ withPin (Pin 7) $ \h -> do setPinOutputMode h OutputDefault Low getPinOutputMode h :} OutputDefault It's an error to query a pin's input mode when the pin is configured for output, and vice versa: >>> :{ runTutorial $ withPin (Pin 5) $ \h -> do setPinInputMode h InputDefault getPinOutputMode h :} *** Exception: InvalidOperation (Pin 5) >>> :{ runTutorial $ withPin (Pin 7) $ \h -> do setPinOutputMode h OutputDefault Low getPinInputMode h :} *** Exception: InvalidOperation (Pin 7) If we attempt to use a mode that the pin doesn't support, we get an error: >>> :{ runTutorial $ withPin (Pin 5) $ \h -> setPinInputMode h InputPullDown :} *** Exception: UnsupportedInputMode InputPullDown (Pin 5) >>> :{ runTutorial $ withPin (Pin 5) $ \h -> setPinOutputMode h OutputOpenSourcePullDown Low :} *** Exception: UnsupportedOutputMode OutputOpenSourcePullDown (Pin 5) Also, it's obviously an error to try to set the direction of a pin whose direction is not settable: >>> :{ -- Pin 16's direction is not settable runTutorial $ withPin (Pin 16) $ \h -> setPinInputMode h InputDefault :} *** Exception: NoDirectionAttribute (Pin 16) The 'NoDirectionAttribute' exception value refers to the Linux @sysfs@ GPIO per-pin @direction@ attribute, which is used to configure the pin's direction. Exception types in @hpio@ are platform-specific -- in this case, specific to Linux @sysfs@ GPIO, as we're using the mock @sysfs@ GPIO interpreter -- and vary based on which particular interpreter you're using, but all @hpio@ exception types are instances of the 'SomeGpioException' type class. Finally, some pins, /when configured for input/, may support edge- or level-triggered interrupts. As with the pin's direction, you can discover whether a pin supports this functionality by asking for its interrupt mode via the 'getPinInterruptMode' action: >>> :{ runTutorial $ withPin (Pin 5) $ \h -> do setPinInputMode h InputDefault getPinInterruptMode h :} Disabled >>> runTutorial $ withPin (Pin 16) $ getPinInterruptMode *** Exception: NoEdgeAttribute (Pin 16) In our example, 'Pin' @16@ does not support interrupts, so 'getPinInterruptMode' throws an exception. If the pin supports interrupts, you can change its interrupt mode using 'setPinInterruptMode'. In this example, we configure 'Pin' @5@ for level-triggered interrupts. Note that we must configure the pin for input before we do so: >>> :{ runTutorial $ withPin (Pin 5) $ \h -> do setPinInputMode h InputDefault setPinInterruptMode h Level getPinInterruptMode h :} Level If the pin does not support interrupts, or if the pin is configured for output, it is an error to attempt to set its interrupt mode: >>> :{ -- Here we have tried to set an output pin's interrupt mode runTutorial $ withPin (Pin 5) $ \h -> do setPinOutputMode h OutputDefault Low setPinInterruptMode h Level getPinInterruptMode h :} *** Exception: InvalidOperation (Pin 5) >>> :{ -- Pin 16 does not support interrupts runTutorial $ withPin (Pin 16) $ \h -> do setPinInterruptMode h Level getPinInterruptMode h :} *** Exception: NoEdgeAttribute (Pin 16) Note that the exception value thrown in each case is different, to better help you identify what you did wrong. See below for examples of how to make use of pin interrupts and a pin's interrupt mode. -} {- $reading_and_writing The core operation of GPIO is, of course, reading and writing pin values. To read a pin's value and return that value immediately, without blocking the current thread, use the 'readPin' action: >>> :{ -- Pin 16 is hard-wired for input. -- Its physical signal level is 'High'. runTutorial $ withPin (Pin 16) readPin :} High >>> :{ -- Pin 9's initial direction is 'Out'. -- Its initial physical signal level is 'Low'. runTutorial $ withPin (Pin 9) readPin :} Low Note that we can use 'readPin' on a pin regardless of its direction or input / output mode. The value returned by 'readPin' is relative to the pin's current active level. Using the same pins as the previous two examples, but this time changing their active levels before reading them, we get: >>> :{ runTutorial $ withPin (Pin 16) $ \h -> do setPinActiveLevel h ActiveLow readPin h :} Low >>> :{ runTutorial $ withPin (Pin 9) $ \h -> do setPinActiveLevel h ActiveLow readPin h :} High When a pin is configured for output, we can set its value using 'writePin': >>> :{ runTutorial $ withPin (Pin 9) $ \h -> do setPinOutputMode h OutputDefault Low writePin h High readPin h :} High It is an error to attempt to set the value of a pin that is configured for input: >>> :{ runTutorial $ withPin (Pin 9) $ \h -> do setPinInputMode h InputDefault writePin h High readPin h :} *** Exception: PermissionDenied (Pin 9) We can also toggle an output pin's value using 'togglePin', which returns the new value: >>> :{ runTutorial $ withPin (Pin 9) $ \h -> do setPinOutputMode h OutputDefault Low v1 <- togglePin h v2 <- togglePin h return (v1,v2) :} (High,Low) The value we write on an output pin is relative to its current active level; e.g., if the output pin's active level is 'Low' and we write a 'High' value, then the /physical/ signal level that the system drives on that pin is /low/. In the mock GPIO system there is no physical signal level, per se, but the mock interpreter does keep track of the "actual" value: >>> :{ runTutorial $ withPin (Pin 9) $ \h -> do setPinActiveLevel h ActiveLow setPinOutputMode h OutputDefault High v1 <- readPin h setPinActiveLevel h ActiveHigh v2 <- readPin h return (v1,v2) :} (High,Low) >>> :{ runTutorial $ withPin (Pin 9) $ \h -> do setPinActiveLevel h ActiveLow setPinOutputMode h OutputDefault High v1 <- togglePin h setPinActiveLevel h ActiveHigh v2 <- togglePin h return (v1,v2) :} (Low,Low) (Note that in a real circuit, the value returned by 'readPin' or 'togglePin' on an output pin may be different than the value your program last wrote to it, depending on the pin's output mode, what other elements are attached to the pin, etc. A discussion of these factors is outside the scope of this tutorial.) == Waiting for interrupts As described above, 'readPin' reads a pin's current value and returns that value immediately. 'pollPin' and 'pollPinTimeout', like 'readPin', also return a given input pin's value. However, unlike 'readPin', these actions do not return the value immediately, but instead block the current thread until a particular event occurs. Given a handle to an input pin, 'pollPin' will block the current thread on that pin's value until an event corresponding to the the pin's interrupt mode event occurs, at which point 'pollPin' unblocks and returns the value that triggered the event. 'pollPinTimeout' is like 'pollPin', except that it also takes a timeout argument and returns the pin's value wrapped in a 'Just' value. If the timeout expires before the event occurs, 'pollPinTimeout' returns 'Nothing'. The current implementation of the mock @sysfs@ GPIO interpreter does not support interrupts, so we do not provide a runnable example in this tutorial. However, here is an example from an actual Linux system which demonstrates the use of 'pollPinTimeout' (a <https://github.com/quixoftic/gpio/blob/master/examples/Gpio.hs similar program> is included in @hpio@'s source distribution): > -- interrupt.hs > > import Control.Concurrent (threadDelay) > import Control.Concurrent.Async (concurrently) > import Control.Monad (forever, void) > import Control.Monad.Catch (MonadMask) > import Control.Monad.IO.Class (MonadIO, liftIO) > import System.GPIO.Linux.Sysfs (runSysfsGpioIO) > import System.GPIO.Monad > import System.GPIO.Types > > -- | Given a pin, an interrupt mode, and a timeout (in microseconds), > -- configure the pin for input, then repeatedly wait for either the > -- given event, or a timeout. > pollInput :: (MonadMask m, MonadIO m, MonadGpio h m) => Pin -> PinInterruptMode -> Int -> m () > pollInput p mode to = > withPin p $ \h -> > do setPinInputMode h InputDefault > setPinInterruptMode h mode > forever $ > do result <- pollPinTimeout h to > case result of > Nothing -> output ("pollInput timed out after " ++ show to ++ " microseconds") > Just v -> output ("Input: " ++ show v) > > -- | Given a pin and a 'delay' (in microseconds), configure the pin for output and > -- repeatedly toggle its value, pausing for 'delay' microseconds inbetween > -- successive toggles. > driveOutput :: (MonadMask m, MonadIO m, MonadGpio h m) => Pin -> Int -> m () > driveOutput p delay = > withPin p $ \h -> > do setPinOutputMode h OutputMode Low > forever $ > do liftIO $ threadDelay delay > v <- togglePin h > output ("Output: " ++ show v) > > Given these two looping actions, we can launch two threads, one for each loop, to drive the input pin from the output pin, assuming the two pins are connected. For example, to wait for the signal's rising edge using @gpio47@ for input and @gpio48@ for output with a 1-second read timeout and a 1/4-second delay between output value toggles: > -- interrupt.hs > main = > void $ > concurrently > (void $ runSysfsGpioIO $ pollInput (Pin 47) RisingEdge 1000000) > (runSysfsGpioIO $ driveOutput (Pin 48) 250000) > $ ./interrupt > Output: High > Input: High > Output: Low > Output: High > Input: High > Output: Low > Output: High > Input: High > Output: Low > Output: High > Input: High > ^C $ Note that the @Input@ lines only appear when the output signal goes from 'Low' to 'High', as @pollInput@ is waiting for 'RisingEdge' events on the input pin. If we now flip the read timeout and toggle delay values, we can see that @pollInput@ times out every 1/4-second until the rising edge occurs again: > -- interrupt.hs > main = > void $ > concurrently > (void $ runSysfsGpioIO $ pollInput (Pin 47) RisingEdge 250000) > (runSysfsGpioIO $ driveOutput (Pin 48) 1000000) > $ ./interrupt > pollInput timed out after 250000 microseconds > pollInput timed out after 250000 microseconds > pollInput timed out after 250000 microseconds > Output: High > Input: High > pollInput timed out after 250000 microseconds > pollInput timed out after 250000 microseconds > pollInput timed out after 250000 microseconds > Output: Low > pollInput timed out after 250000 microseconds > pollInput timed out after 250000 microseconds > pollInput timed out after 250000 microseconds > pollInput timed out after 250000 microseconds > Output: High > Input: High > pollInput timed out after 250000 microseconds > pollInput timed out after 250000 microseconds > pollInput timed out after 250000 microseconds > Output: Low > pollInput timed out after 250000 microseconds > pollInput timed out after 250000 microseconds > pollInput timed out after 250000 microseconds > pollInput timed out after 250000 microseconds > Output: High > Input: High > pollInput timed out after 250000 microseconds > ^C $ Because they block the current thread, in order to use 'pollPin' and 'pollPinTimeout', you must compile your program such that the Haskell runtime supports multiple threads. On GHC, use the @-threaded@ compile-time flag. Other Haskell compilers have not been tested with @hpio@, so we cannot provide guidance for them; consult your compiler's documentation. Also, if you're using a compiler other than GHC on Linux, see the documentation for the 'System.GPIO.Linux.Sysfs.IO.SysfsIOT' monad transformer for details on how it uses the C FFI, and its implications for multi-threading. -} {- $pin_types You may have noticed that, while describing the various DSL actions above, we spent almost as much time talking about error conditions as we did properly-functioning code. Primarily, this is due to the low-level nature of native GPIO APIs. Native GPIO APIs, as a rule, provide more or less the same interface for all GPIO pins, regardless of their actual capabilities or configuration. For example, a pin configured for input is typically represented by the system as the same type as a pin configured for output, even though the set of actions that can legally be performed on each pin is different. One advantage of this approach is that it is quite flexible. It is, for example, possible to re-configure a given pin "on the fly" for input, output, interrupts, etc. However, a drawback of this approach is that it's easy to make a mistake, e.g., by waiting for interrupts on a pin that has been configured for output (an operation which, on Linux, at least, will not raise an error but will block forever). The primary goal of the @hpio@ cross-platform DSL is to make available to the Haskell programmer as much of the low-level capabilities of a typical GPIO platform as possible. As such, it retains both the flexibility of this one-pin-fits-all approach, and its disadvantages. The disadvantages are apparent by the number of ways you can cause an exception by performing an invalid operation on a pin. By trading some of that flexibility for more restricted types, we can make GPIO programming safer. The @hpio@ cross-platform DSL therefore provides 3 additional types for representing pins in a particular configuration state (input, interrupt-capable input, or output), and then defines the subset of GPIO actions that can safely be performed on a pin in that state. This makes it possible to write GPIO programs which, given a particular pin type, cannot perform an illegal action on that pin. The 3 safer pin types are 'InputPin', 'OutputPin', and 'InterruptPin'. The constructors for these types are not exported. You can only create instances of these types by calling their corresponding @with*@ action. Each type's @with*@ action attempts to configure the pin as requested; if it cannot, the @with*@ action throws an exception, but if it can, you can use the returned instance safely. (Note: all of these safer pin types support actions which query or change their active level, but as these actions are effectively identical to the more general 'getPinActiveLevel' and 'setPinActiveLevel' actions, examples of their use are not given here.) -} {- $input_pins == Input pins Input pins can be read with a non-blocking read via the 'readInputPin' action: >>> :{ runTutorial $ withInputPin (Pin 2) InputDefault Nothing $ \h -> readInputPin h :} Low -} {- $interrupt_pins == Interrupt pins Interrupt pins can be read with a non-blocking read via the 'readInterruptPin' action: >>> :{ runTutorial $ withInterruptPin (Pin 2) InputDefault Level Nothing $ \h -> readInterruptPin h :} Low They also, of course, support interrupts (blocking reads). Because the mock interpreter cannot emulate interrupts, no working examples are given here, but see the 'pollInterruptPin' and 'pollInterruptPinTimeout' actions for details. Changing an interrupt pin's interrupt mode is generally a safe operation, so the DSL provides the 'getInterruptPinInterruptMode' and 'setInterruptPinInterruptMode' actions: >>> :{ runTutorial $ withInterruptPin (Pin 2) InputDefault RisingEdge Nothing $ \h -> do m1 <- getInterruptPinInterruptMode h setInterruptPinInterruptMode h FallingEdge m2 <- getInterruptPinInterruptMode h return (m1,m2) :} (RisingEdge,FallingEdge) -} {- $output_pins == Output pins Output pins can be both read ('readOutputPin') and written ('writeOutputPin'): >>> :{ runTutorial $ withOutputPin (Pin 8) OutputDefault Nothing Low $ \h -> do v1 <- readOutputPin h writeOutputPin h High v2 <- readOutputPin h return (v1,v2) :} (Low,High) The pin's value can also be toggled via 'toggleOutputPin': >>> :{ runTutorial $ withOutputPin (Pin 8) OutputDefault Nothing Low $ \h -> toggleOutputPin h :} High -} {- $advanced_topics == The Linux @sysfs@ GPIO interpreter Using the Linux @sysfs@ GPIO interpreter is complicated by the fact that it supports both actual Linux systems, and the mock environment that we've used throughout most of this tutorial. Strictly speaking, you don't need to understand how the @sysfs@ GPIO interpreter implemented, but understanding it does help motivate why using it seems a bit convoluted. In Linux @sysfs@ GPIO, userspace GPIO operations are performed on virtual files in the @sysfs@ filesystem. See the <https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/gpio/sysfs.txt Linux kernel documentation> for details, but in a nutshell: * Pins are /exported/ (akin to opening a file) by writing their pin number to the @\/sys\/class\/gpio\/export@ file. * Once a pin is exported, the Linux kernel creates a subdirectory for that pin number (e.g., @\/sys\/class\/gpio\/gpio7@), along with several pseudo-files, called /attributes/, for controlling the pin's direction, reading and writing its pin value, etc. * Pins are /unexported/ (akin to closing a file) by writing their pin number to the @\/sys\/class\/gpio\/unexport@ file. When the pin is unexported, the kernel removes the pin's @sysfs@ subdirectory. The @hpio@ interpreter for the Linux @sysfs@ GPIO system translates actions in the cross-platform DSL to @sysfs@ filesystem operations. The most straightforward way to implement this interpreter is to use filesystem actions such as 'BS.readFile' and 'BS.writeFile' directly. However, by adding a level of abstraction at the filesystem layer, we can substitute a @sysfs@ filesystem emulator for the real thing, and the interpreter's none the wiser. Because we're only implementing the subset of filesystem functionality required by the Linux @sysfs@ GPIO interpreter (and certainly not an entire real filesystem!), there are only a handful of actions we need to emulate. So that is the approach used by @hpio@'s @sysfs@ interprefer. It breaks the Linux @sysfs@ GPIO interpreter into two pieces: a high-level piece which maps cross-platform GPIO operations to abstract filesystem actions, and a low-level piece which implements those filesystem actions. It then provides two low-level implementations: one which maps the abstract filesystem actions onto real filesystem operations, and one which implements a subset of the @sysfs@ filesystem as an in-memory mock filesystem for emulating the Linux kernel's @sysfs@ GPIO behavior. To use this implementation, you don't need to worry about these details; you just need to know how to compose the two interpreters. If you want to run real GPIO programs on a real Linux GPIO-capable system, the composition is relatively straightforward. Assuming that @program@ is your program: > runSysfsIOT $ runSysfsGpioT program Here the 'System.GPIO.Linux.Sysfs.runSysfsGpioT' interpreter translates GPIO actions in @program@ to abstract @sysfs@ filesystem operations, and the 'System.GPIO.Linux.Sysfs.runSysfsIOT' interpreter translates abstract @sysfs@ filesystem operations to their native filesystem equivalents. (Note that if @program@ runs directly in 'IO' and not in a transformer stack, then you can use the 'System.GPIO.Linux.Sysfs.runSysfsGpioIO' action, which conveniently composes these two interpreters for you.) == @mtl@ compatibility and use with transformer stacks Most of the examples shown up to this point in the tutorial have run directly on top of the 'IO' monad (via 'MonadIO'). However, in the event that you want to integrate GPIO computations into more complicated monad transformer stacks, @hpio@ has you covered! Each @hpio@ interpreter is implemented as a monad transformer, and each is also an instance of the monad type classes defined in the <https://hackage.haskell.org/package/mtl mtl> package, so long as its implementation satisfies the laws of that particular @mtl@ type class. This makes it easy to integrate @hpio@ interpreters into @mtl@-style monad transformer stacks. Additionally, the 'MonadGpio' type class provides instances of itself for all the @mtl@ monad type classes for which it can satisfy the laws, meaning that you don't need to 'lift' 'MonadGpio' operations out of these monads manually. Here's an example of using a 'MonadGpio' program with the reader monad and the mock @sysfs@ GPIO interpreter. (A <https://github.com/quixoftic/gpio/blob/master/examples/GpioReader.hs more sophisticated example> of using 'MonadGpio' with a reader transformer stack and a real (as opposed to mock) GPIO platform is provided in the @hpio@ source distribution.) First, let's define the reader environment and give our transformer stack a type alias: > data TutorialEnv = > TutorialEnv {_pin :: Pin > ,_initialValue :: PinValue > ,_delay :: Int > ,_iterations :: Int} > > -- | Our transformer stack: > -- * A reader monad. > -- * The Linux @sysfs@ GPIO interpreter > -- * The (mock) Linux @sysfs@ back-end. > -- * 'IO' > type TutorialReaderGpioIO a = ReaderT TutorialEnv (SysfsGpioT (SysfsMockT IO)) a Next, let's define the interpreter for our stack. Up to this point, we've used 'runTutorial' as our interpreter, and it has handled all the nitty-gritty details of composing the @sysfs@ GPIO sub-interpreters and configuring the mock GPIO environment. Now, however, it's time to expose those layers and talk about them in detail, as that's where most of the complexity comes when using transformer stacks. > -- | Mock GPIO chips > chip0 :: MockGpioChip > chip0 = MockGpioChip "chip0" 0 (replicate 16 defaultMockPinState) > chip1 :: MockGpioChip > chip1 = MockGpioChip "chip1" 16 [defaultMockPinState {_direction = In, _userVisibleDirection = False, _value = High, _edge = Nothing}] > > -- | The interpreter for our transformer stack. > runTutorialReaderGpioIO :: TutorialReaderGpioIO a -> TutorialEnv -> IO a > runTutorialReaderGpioIO program config = > evalSysfsMockT > (runSysfsGpioT $ runReaderT program config) > initialMockWorld > [chip0, chip1] Don't worry too much about the 'MockGpioChip' definitions or the 'initialMockWorld' ; those exist only to set up the mock GPIO environment so that we can run some examples in this tutorial. In a real Linux GPIO environment, the definition for the interpreter would be quite a bit simpler, as we wouldn't need to supply this mock environment. An analogous transformer stack for a real Linux @sysfs@ GPIO system would look something like this: > -- | Our 'IO' transformer stack: > -- * A reader monad. > -- * The Linux @sysfs@ GPIO interpreter > -- * The (real) Linux @sysfs@ back-end. > -- * 'IO' > type TutorialReaderGpioIO a = ReaderT TutorialEnv (SysfsGpioT (SysfsIOT IO)) a > > -- | The interpreter for our IO transformer stack. > runTutorialReaderGpioIO :: TutorialReaderGpioIO a -> Config -> IO a > runTutorialReaderGpioIO program config = runSysfsIOT $ runSysfsGpioT $ runReaderT program config (The earlier cited <https://github.com/quixoftic/gpio/blob/master/examples/GpioReader.hs example program> uses this very stack, albeit with a different reader environment.) The part that's the same in both the mock transformer stack and the "real" transformer stack is this bit: > runSysfsGpioT $ runReaderT program config Here we see 2 layers of the transformer stack: at the core is the 'ReaderT' transformer, which we execute via the 'runReaderT' "interpreter." This layer provides us with the ability to use reader monad actions such as 'asks' inside our @program@. The next layer up is the 'SysfsGpioT' transformer, which we execute via the 'runSysfsGpioT' interpreter. This layer makes the @hpio@ cross-platform DSL actions available to our @program@ -- actions such as 'readPin' and 'writePin'. However, as explained earlier in the tutorial, the 'SysfsGpioT' transformer is only one half of the @sysfs@ GPIO story. The 'runSysfsGpioT' interpreter translates GPIO actions such as 'readPin' to Linux @sysfs@ GPIO operations, but it does not provide the /implementation/ of those @sysfs@ GPIO operations: it depends on yet another layer of the transformer stack to provide that functionality. This is where 'SysfsMockT' and 'evalSysfsMockT' come in (or, in the case of a "real" GPIO program that runs on an actual Linux system, 'System.GPIO.Linux.Sysfs.SyfsIOT' and 'System.GPIO.Linux.Sysfs.runSysfsIOT'). The 'SysfsMockT' transformer maps @sysfs@ GPIO operations in the 'runSysfsGpioT' interpreter onto mock @sysfs@ filesystem actions; and the 'evalSysfsMockT' interpreter provides the in-memory implementation of those mock @sysfs@ filesystem actions. Likewise, as you can probably guess from the definition of our "real" GPIO transformer stack, the 'System.GPIO.Linux.Sysfs.SyfsIOT' transformer and its 'System.GPIO.Linux.Sysfs.runSysfsIOT' interpreter map abstract @sysfs@ GPIO operations in the 'runSysfsGpioT' interpreter onto /actual/ @sysfs@ filesystem actions using Haskell's standard filesystem actions ('BS.readFile', 'BS.writeFile', etc.) (If you're curious about the interface between the two @sysfs@ interpreter layers, see the 'System.GPIO.Linux.Sysfs.Monad.MonadSysfs' type class. You can even use it directly, if you want to implement your own @sysfs@-specific GPIO DSL.) Returning to our mock transformer stack, the 'SysfsMockT' transformer is just a @newtype@ wrapper around the 'Control.Monad.State.Strict.StateT' transformer. The state that the 'SysfsMockT' transformer provides to its interpreter is the state of all mock pins defined by the mock GPIO system, and the state of the in-memory mock filesystem (the directory structure, the contents of the various files, etc.). For testing purposes, it's often useful to retrieve the final mock state along with the final result of a mock @hpio@ computation, so just as 'Control.Monad.State.Strict.StateT' does, the 'SysfsMockT' transformer provides three different interpreters. Which interpreter you choose depends on whether you want the final mock state of the computation, the final result of the computation, or a tuple containing the pair of them. For our purposes in this tutorial, we only want the final result of the computation, so we use the 'evalSysfsMockT' interpreter here. The mock state of the mock @sysfs@ interpreter is completely configurable. We won't go into the details in this tutorial, but in a nutshell, you provide the mock interpreter a list of mock pins along with their initial state; and the initial state of the mock @sysfs@ GPIO filesystem. The @[chip0, chip1]@ and 'initialMockWorld' values passed to the 'evalSysfsMockT' interpreter provide the initial state that we'll use in our transformer stack examples. (These parameters are not needed for the "real" @sysfs@ interpreter, of course, since the actual hardware and the Linux kernel determine the visible GPIO state on a real system.) By composing the 'runSysfsGpioT' and 'evalSysfsMockT' interpreters (or, in the case of a real Linux system, the 'runSysfsGpioT' and 'System.GPIO.Linux.Sysfs.runSysfsIOT' interpreters), we create a complete @hpio@ cross-platform DSL interpreter. The final, outer-most layer of our transformer stack is 'IO'. You may be wondering why, as we're using the mock @sysfs@ interpreter here (which does not perform any 'IO' actions), we need the 'IO' monad. As it turns out, we do not! Both the 'SysfsMockT' transformer and the 'SysfsGpioT' transformer are pure, and neither requires the 'IO' monad in order to function. They /do/, however, need to be stacked on top of a monad which is an instance of 'MonadThrow'. Additionally, 'SysfsGpioT' requires its inner monad to be an instance of 'MonadCatch'. GPIO computations -- even mock ones -- can throw exceptions, and we need a way to express them "out of band." @hpio@ uses the excellent <https://hackage.haskell.org/package/exceptions exceptions> package, which provides the 'MonadThrow' and 'MonadCatch' abstractions and makes it possible for the mock @sysfs@ GPIO interpreter to run in a pure environment, without 'IO', so long as the inner monad is an instance of both 'MonadThrow' and 'MonadCatch'. In fact, the @exceptions@ package provides the 'Control.Monad.Catch.Pure.Catch' monad, which satisfies both of those constraints, and @hpio@'s mock @sysfs@ implementation provides a convenient type alias for an interpreter which runs @hpio@ computations in a pure mock GPIO environment, using 'Control.Monad.Catch.Pure.Catch' as the outer-most monad, rather than 'IO'. That interpreter expresses GPIO errors as 'Left' values instead of throwing exceptions. See 'SysfsGpioMock' and its interpreters for details. However, in this tutorial, we're only using the mock @sysfs@ GPIO interpreter out of necessity, and we prefer to keep the examples as close to "real world" behavior as we can. Therefore, we use 'IO' here and express errors in GPIO computations as actual thrown exceptions, rather than pure 'Left' values. == A reader monad example Now that we've defined (and explained to death) an example transformer stack, let's put it to use. We define the following trivial program, which runs in our transformer stack and makes use of the reader monad context to retrieve its configuration: >>> :{ let toggleOutput :: (MonadMask m, MonadIO m, MonadGpio h m, MonadReader TutorialEnv m) => m () toggleOutput = do p <- asks _pin delay <- asks _delay iv <- asks _initialValue it <- asks _iterations withPin p $ \h -> do setPinOutputMode h OutputDefault iv forM_ [1..it] $ const $ do liftIO $ threadDelay delay v <- togglePin h liftIO $ putStrLn ("Output: " ++ show v) :} >>> runTutorialReaderGpioIO toggleOutput (TutorialEnv (Pin 4) High 100000 5) Output: Low Output: High Output: Low Output: High Output: Low >>> runTutorialReaderGpioIO toggleOutput (TutorialEnv (Pin 16) High 100000 5) *** Exception: NoDirectionAttribute (Pin 16) >>> runTutorialReaderGpioIO toggleOutput (TutorialEnv (Pin 99) High 100000 5) *** Exception: InvalidPin (Pin 99) More important than what this program does, is its type signature. It runs in a monad @m@ and returns a void result, but note the following about monad @m@: * It must be an instance of 'MonadMask' because it calls 'withPin'. * It must be an instance of 'MonadIO' because it calls 'putStrLn' and 'threadDelay'. * It must be an instance of 'MonadReader' 'TutorialEnv' because it uses 'asks' to extract its configuration from a 'TutorialEnv'. * It must be an instance of 'MonadGpio' because it uses actions from the @hpio@ cross-platform DSL. (By the way, the @h@ type parameter to 'MonadGpio' represents an implementation-dependent pin handle type.) Our mock transformer stack satisfies all of these requirements, so it's capable of running this program. The "real GPIO" transformer stack we defined earlier is also capable of running this program, and as future GPIO platforms are added to @hpio@, any of those interpreters will be able to run this program, as well! -} data TutorialEnv = TutorialEnv {_pin :: Pin ,_initialValue :: PinValue ,_delay :: Int ,_iterations :: Int} type TutorialReaderGpioIO a = ReaderT TutorialEnv (SysfsGpioT (SysfsMockT IO)) a runTutorialReaderGpioIO :: TutorialReaderGpioIO a -> TutorialEnv -> IO a runTutorialReaderGpioIO program config = evalSysfsMockT (runSysfsGpioT $ runReaderT program config) initialMockWorld [chip0, chip1] {- $copyright This tutorial is copyright Quixoftic, LLC, 2017, and is licensed under the <http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License>. -}
