GPIO Notes for Rivendell
Rivendell supports the following General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO)
devices:
Gameport Joystick Buttons
USB Joystick Buttons
Measurement Computing PCI-PDIS08 Board
Measurement Computing PCI-PDIS16 Board
Measurement Computing PCI-DIO24 Board
Several supported switcher devices feature GPIO capabiities as well,
see the file 'SWITCHERS.txt' for more info.
JOYSTICK DEVICES
Joystick support utilizes the Linux Input Device subsystem. Inputs
are active-low, and should be wired as follows:
02: Input 1
04: Ground
07: Input 2
05: Ground
10: Input 3
12: Ground
14: Input 4
12: Ground
In addition, you will need to connect 47 kohm resistors between the
following pins: 1-3, 6-8, 9-11 and 13-15. While not strictly needed
for the GPI portion of the interface to work, the kernel's analog
joystick driver will refuse to initialize the port if these resistors
(or a real joystick) are not present.
The device name of the joystick will be one of the /dev/input/event<n>
devices.
NOTE: There have been reports that some port models do not internally
connect pin 12 to ground. The symptom of this situation will be that
Inputs 1 and 2 work, but not Inputs 3 and 4. If this is the case,
connecting the ground for Inputs 3 and 4 to pins 04 or 05 should remedy
the problem.
MEASUREMENT COMPUTER GPIO BOARDS
To configure one of the supported MeasurementComputing GPIO boards,
proceed as follows:
1) Install the card(s) in the computer. In the case of the PCI-DIO24,
two cards may be necessary, as each seperate card is entirely
utilized as either inputs or outputs.
2) Test it out. Two programs exist for this purpose: 'gpitest' tests
GPI inputs, and 'gpotest' tests GPO outputs. These programs come
with the 'libradio' package.
3) Define a GPIO device in RDAdmin->Stations->Switcher/GPIO. Use
a device type of 'Local GPIO'.

GPIO BOARD-SPECIFIC NOTES
The Measurement Computing PCI-PDIS08 and PCI-PDIS16 boards feature
floating, opto-isolated inputs. The inputs are not polarity sensitive
and may be driven by either AC or DC. The outputs are electro-mechanical
relays with dry contacts. Connector pinouts are as follows:
PCI-PDIS08 -- DB37 Male Connector
PCI-PDIS16 -- DB37 Male Connector (using C50F-37F Cable)
