Node.js Raspberry Pi LED RGB con WebSocket


Uso de modulación de ancho de pulso

En los capítulos anteriores, hemos aprendido cómo usar WebSocket y cómo usar GPIO para encender y apagar los LED.

En este capítulo usaremos un LED RGB, con PWM (modulación de ancho de pulso) para mostrar diferentes colores según la entrada del usuario a través de WebSocket.

Un LED RGB es un LED con 3 colores diferentes. Dispone de LED ROJO, VERDE y AZUL (LED RGB).

Y usando PWM, podemos establecer la fuerza individual de los 3 LED. Esto nos permitirá mezclarlos, para fijar un color.


¿Qué necesitamos?

En este capítulo crearemos un ejemplo en el que controlamos un LED RGB con una página web a través de WebSocket.

Para esto necesitas:

Haga clic en los enlaces de la lista anterior para obtener descripciones de los diferentes componentes.

Nota: La resistencia que necesitas puede ser diferente a la que usamos dependiendo del tipo de LED que uses. La mayoría de los LED pequeños solo necesitan una pequeña resistencia, alrededor de 200-500 ohmios. Por lo general, no es crítico qué valor exacto use, pero cuanto menor sea el valor de la resistencia, más brillante brillará el LED.


Instale el módulo pigpio

Anteriormente, hemos utilizado el módulo "onoff", que funciona muy bien para encender y apagar. Ahora queremos establecer la intensidad de los LED, por lo que necesitamos un módulo GPIO con un poco más de funcionalidad.

Usaremos el módulo "pigpio" Node.js, ya que esto permite PWM.

Con PWM podemos establecer la intensidad de un LED de 0 a 255.

El módulo "pigpio" Node.js se basa en la biblioteca pigpio C.

Si está utilizando la versión "Lite" de Raspbian, lo más probable es que no esté incluida y deba instalarse manualmente.

Actualice la lista de paquetes de su sistema:

pi@w3demopi:~ $ sudo apt-get update

Instale la biblioteca pigpio C:

pi@w3demopi:~ $ sudo apt-get install pigpio

Ahora podemos instalar el módulo Node.js "pigpio" usando npm:

pi@w3demopi:~ $ npm install pigpio

Ahora el módulo "pigpio" debe estar instalado y podemos usarlo para interactuar con el GPIO de la Raspberry Pi.

Nota: Dado que el módulo "pigpio" usa la biblioteca pigpio C, requiere privilegios de root/sudo para acceder a los periféricos de hardware (como GPIO).


Construyendo el circuito

Ahora es el momento de construir el circuito en nuestro Breadboard.

Si es nuevo en la electrónica, le recomendamos que apague la Raspberry Pi. Y use una alfombra antiestática o una correa de conexión a tierra para evitar dañarlo.

Apague la Raspberry Pi correctamente con el comando:

pi@w3demopi:~ $ sudo shutdown -h now

Después de que los LED dejen de parpadear en la Raspberry Pi, desconecte el enchufe de alimentación de la Raspberry Pi (o apague la regleta a la que está conectado).

Simplemente desconectar el enchufe sin apagarlo correctamente puede dañar la tarjeta de memoria.

Al construir este circuito, es importante saber si tiene un ánodo común o un cátodo común, LED RGB:

Puede consultar con su proveedor, o probarlo usted mismo:

Conecte los cables a GND y al pin de 3,3 V. Conecte GND a la pata más larga del LED RGB y los 3,3 V a cualquier otra pata. Si se enciende, su LED RGB tiene un cátodo común. Si no, tiene un ánodo común.

Raspberry Pi 3 con placa de pruebas.  Cátodo común LED RGB

Mira la ilustración de arriba del circuito.

  1. On the Breadboard, connect the RGB LED to the right ground bus column, and make sure that each leg connects to a different row. The longest leg is the common cathode leg. In this example we have connected the LED to rows 1-4, with the common cathode leg connected to row 2 column I. The RED leg is connected to row 1 column J, the GREEN leg is connected to row 3 column J, and the BLUE leg is connected to row 4 column J
  2. On the Raspberry Pi, connect the female leg of the first jumper wire to Ground. You can use any GND pin. In this example we used Physical Pin 9 (GND, row 5, left column)
  3. On the Breadboard, connect the male leg of the first jumper wire to the same row of the right ground bus column that you connected the common cathode to. In this example we connected it to row 2 column F
  4. On the Raspberry Pi, connect the female leg of the second jumper cable to a GPIO pin. We will use this for the RED leg, In this example we used Physical Pin 7 (GPIO 4, row 4, left column)
  5. On the Breadboard, connect the male leg of the second jumper wire to the left ground bus, same row as the RED leg of the LED is connected. In this example we connected it to row 1, column A
  6. On the Breadboard, connect a resistor between the left and right ground bus columns for the row with the RED leg of the LED. In this example we have attached it to row 1, column E and F
  7. On the Raspberry Pi, connect the female leg of the third jumper cable to a GPIO pin. We will use this for the GREEN leg, In this example we used Physical Pin 11 (GPIO 17, row 6, left column)
  8. On the Breadboard, connect the male leg of the third jumper wire to the left ground bus, same row as the GREEN leg of the LED is connected. In this example we connected it to row 3, column A
  9. On the Breadboard, connect a resistor between the left and right ground bus columns for the row with the GREEN leg of the LED. In this example we have attached it to row 3, column E and F
  10. On the Raspberry Pi, connect the female leg of the forth jumper cable to a GPIO pin. We will use this for the BLUE leg, In this example we used Physical Pin 13 (GPIO 27, row 7, left column)
  11. On the Breadboard, connect the male leg of the forth jumper wire to the left ground bus, same row as the BLUE leg of the LED is connected. In this example we connected it to row 4, column A
  12. En la placa de prueba, conecte una resistencia entre las columnas de bus de tierra izquierda y derecha para la fila con la pata AZUL del LED. En este ejemplo lo hemos adjuntado a la fila 4, columna E y F

Su circuito ahora debería estar completo, y sus conexiones deberían verse bastante similares a la ilustración anterior.

Ahora es el momento de iniciar Raspberry Pi y escribir el script Node.js para interactuar con él.

The RED leg is connected to row 1 column J, the GREEN leg is connected to row 3 column J, and the BLUE leg is connected to row 4 column J
  2. On the Raspberry Pi, connect the female leg of the first jumper cable to a GPIO pin. We will use this for the RED leg, In this example we used Physical Pin 7 (GPIO 4, row 4, left column)

  11. On the Raspberry Pi, connect the female leg of the forth jumper wire to 3.3V. In this example we used Physical Pin 1 (3.3V, row 1, left column)
  12. En la placa de prueba, conecte la pata macho del cuarto cable de puente a la misma fila de la columna de bus de tierra derecha a la que conectó el ánodo común. En este ejemplo lo conectamos a la fila 2 columna F
