Re: [Gumstix-users] GPIO

[Nick S. <nic...@gm...>]

Hi

Thanks for the link

Dave, I have gone over that link, but it seems a bit complicated. I mean
that I am not sure exactly what I need from there to accomplish what I want.

All I need is to be able to read inputs to two GPIO's, which represent some
readings of a tilt sensor. If one of the GPIO's is at '1' then the gumstix
is tilted one way, and if the other GPIO is '1' then the gumstix is tilted
the other way. Of coarse if both are '0' then the gumstix is not tilted.

Since I have never tried using the GPIO's before, I don't know which ones
are to be used as inputs, how to refer to them, and what code to type to
actually get their readings.

If you have any sample code that could help, that would be great. I a using
a summit board if you need to know which pins are available as input.

Thanks

Nick
