Matrix - Button
Contents
1 Introduction
- The Matrix-Button module is used to detect button events.
- If the button is not pressed S will output high otherwise S will output low.
2 Features
- 3 PIN interface
- PCB dimension (mm): 8 x 24
- Pin Description:
Pin | Description |
S | GPIO |
V | Supply Voltage 5V |
G | Ground |
3 Basic Device Operation
- The Matrix-Button is an instant(non self-lock) button. The button's status can be read from pin S in the 3-pin 2.54 mm spacing pin header.
- If the button is not pressed S will output high otherwise S will output low.
4 Download Matrix Source Code
All the matrix modules' code samples are open source. They are maintained on GitHub - git://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git
Each branch in this hub contains the matrix modules' code samples for a board that the matrix modules can work with.
- The nanopi branch contains the matrix modules' code samples for the NanoPi
- The tiny4412 branch contains the matrix modules' code samples for the Tiny4412
- The raspberrypi branch contains the matrix modules' code samples for the RaspberryPi
Please follow the steps below to get the source code:
Install the git utility on a PC running Ubuntu14.04
$ sudo apt-get install git
Clone the matrix code from GitHub
$ git clone git://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git
If this is successful a "matrix" directory will be generated, which will contain all the matrix modules' code samples.
5 Connect to NanoPi 2
5.1 Hardware Connection
Please refer to the following connection diagram to connect the Matrix-Button to the NanoPi 2:
Connection Details:
Matrix-Button | NanoPi 2 |
S | Pin7 |
V | Pin4 |
G | Pin6 |
5.2 Compile Test Program
Please login the matrix hub and enter the nanopi2 branch
$ cd matrix $ git checkout nanopi2
Compile the matrix code
$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- clean $ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- $ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- install
Note: please make sure to install the cross compiler "arm-linux-gcc-4.9.3" on your PC, which is used to compile files for the NanoPi2.
Generated library files are under the "install/lib" directory. Applications are under the "install/usr/bin" directory. The test program for the "Matrix-Button" module is "matrix-button".
5.3 Run Test Program
Please insert a TF card which is flashed with Debian to a Linux host and mount its boot and rootfs sections.
We assume the rootfs is mounted to /media/rootfs then please run the following commands to copy the driver, library and test program to the card.
$ cp modules /media/rootfs/ -r $ cp install/lib/* /media/rootfs/lib/ -d $ cp install/usr/bin/* /media/rootfs/usr/bin/
Insert this TF card to your NanoPi 2, power on and run the following commands.
$ cd /modules $ insmod matrix_gpio_int.ko
Start the matrix-button program
$ matrix-button
Here is what you should expect:
5.4 Code Sample
int main(int argc, char ** argv) { int i; int retSize = -1; char value[ARRAY_SIZE(button)]; int devFD = -1; printf("Using pin GPIO_PIN1\n"); if ((devFD =sensorInit(button, ARRAY_SIZE(button))) == -1) { printf("Fail to init sensor\n"); return -1; } printf("Press the button...\n"); if ((retSize = sensorRead(devFD, value, ARRAY_SIZE(button))) == -1) { printf("Fail to read sensors\n"); } if (retSize > 0) { i = 0; for (i=0; i<retSize; i++) { printf("Button[%d]:%d\n", i, value[i]); } } sensorDeinit(devFD); return 0; }
6 Connect to NanoPi
6.1 Preparations
Please install a Debian on a NanoPi and an appropriate cross compiler on a PC. Please refer to wiki:NanoPi & How to Build the Compiling Environment
Compile a NanoPi kernel. Note: please use the kernel's source code from the nanopi-v4.1.y-matrix branch.
$ git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/linux-4.x.y.git $ cd linux-4.x.y $ git checkout nanopi-v4.1.y-matrix $ make nanopi_defconfig $ touch .scmversion $ make
A newly generated zImage will be under arch/arm/boot/. You can replace the one under "sd-fuse_nanopi/prebuilt" with this new image file.
6.2 Hardware Connection
Please refer to the following connection diagram to connect the Matrix-Button to the NanoPi
Connection Details:
Matrix-Button | NanoPi |
S | Pin7 |
V | Pin4 |
G | Pin6 |
6.3 Compile Test Program
Please login the matrix hub and enter the nanopi branch
$ cd matrix $ git checkout nanopi
Compile the matrix code
$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- clean $ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- $ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- install
Note: please make sure to install the cross compiler "arm-linux-gcc-4.4.3" on your PC, which is used to compile files for the NanoPi-Debian.
Generated library files are under the "install/lib" directory. Applications are under the "install/usr/bin" directory. The test program for the "Matrix-Button" module is "matrix-button".
6.4 Run Test Program
Please insert a TF card which is flashed with Debian to a Linux host and mount its boot and rootfs sections.
