ioBroker.piface

=======================

This adapter allows to control a Piface on Raspberry Pi .

It uses node-pifacedigial: https://github.com/tualo/node-pifacedigital

The adapter creates 8 input and output objects in iobroker. The outputs can controlled by buttons from VIS or by setting the object to "true" or "false" or "1" or "0".

! Attention !

Please read the pre requirements of adapter. The adapter need node version >= v4.0.0 You have to install by console the following libraries and enable SPI support of Raspberry by setting up in "raspi-config"

git clone https://github.com/piface/libmcp23s17.git
cd libmcp23s17/
make
sudo make install

git clone https://github.com/piface/libpifacedigital.git
cd libpifacedigital/
make
sudo make install

If you run in errors, because your node version is too low, please update the node version.

• I installed successfully with node version: v4.2.1
