<p dir="ltr">Forgot to mention if you use k12 educational module abstractions (you can start k12 mode by adding -k12 startup flag to pd-l2ork in which case your would have UI like this: <a href="http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/main/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/pd-l2ork-k12-rpi-003.png">http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/main/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/pd-l2ork-k12-rpi-003.png</a> ), then you can access either gpio or spi via a single object.</p>
<p dir="ltr">And while we are talking about start-up flags you can also explore -unique startup flag which allows you to open new patches in a new instance of the pd-l2ork (by default they are opened in the existing instance so double-clicking on a bunch of pd patch documents will not spawn a bunch of instances).</p>
<p dir="ltr">HTH</p>

They can be found in the <root git>/l2ork_addons/raspberry_pi/disis_gpio and disis_spi folders (latter is the MCP3008 one). Spi one does not rely on wiring pi. AFAIK wiringpi does not offer spi support but I could be wrong.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

So, each opened pin will have a separate high priority thread that gives you a 1000Hz PWM. disis_gpio also supports hardware pwm on pin 18 and that one has some kind of a logarithmic curve and as such behaves distinctly different but I simply did not want to go into anything higher than 1000Hz as that would choke the cpu.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<br>I did see the note from garthz about the architecture collisions. I will attend to this. Anyway, make sure to use the gpio.l_arm version -- just delete the other two to avoid problems.<u></u><u></u></p></div></blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><br>Indeed, disis_gpio is loosely based on gpio. It however also offers things that gpio (AFAIK) doesn't, like multithreaded pusle-width-modulation (hardware on pin 18 and software on all pins) with an Arduino-like 0-1023 range. disis_spi is a completely new beast that allows interfacing with MCP3008 AD converter and provides up to 8 analog input channels that can provide high-resolution streams with values 0-1023. So, pd-l2ork externals essentially look to provide an Arduino-like environment.<u></u><u></u></p>
